Daryl & Beth, sitting in a tree, K-I-L-L-I-N-G… Walking Dead S4E12 – Dork Review

It’s the first regular Sherlock episode after we got that pesky cliffhanger out of the way, and I know I was expecting some crimesolving business-as-usual. Instead, we had the wedding of John Watson, framed by flashbacks of varying importance as a murder slowly unfolds. But how does it relate to... Read More »
