*giggling and grinning gleefullly over G's geneaology!!!!!* I did not suspect until the name Gaston appeared, and then . . . I thought . . . no, it couldn't be . . . yes!!! wonderful ending for the trilogy. the same fun banter is back--and it is really making me wish someone would podfic the heck out of this thing. I don't know how you'd feel about that. It's kinda made to be an audio play, after all. okay: favaorite parts (fengirl already mentioned croissant!) we still have slightly tarty Alec, but toned down now that he's a married man--yay Maurice--still obsessed with things below the waist--of course "hack off my winkle with a meat cleaver--not EVEN accidentally"! spit-take!!! (you really don't get enough spit-takes in Sherlock world, so I'm happy we have one in Maurice world) blind priest and beautiful bride (naturally, I think even a sighted priest would find Alec beautiful, but given the issues with the Catholic Church, we don't need to go there . . . ) okay, this is just me, but I actually laughed the most at this seemingly simple line--I think it's just thinking of Maurice reciting it deadpan: "You seemed so focused on rebuilding the boathouse, dressing in drag, and becoming a butcher." (that actually just made me laugh again typing it) "We can get boats!" (like the exclamation point) The second most laugh-inducing line: "And if you can find someone who is willing to hand over their infant to two foreign homosexuals then I'm all for it."
And then you went and got all sweet and mushy at the end! Quite appropriate, since the film goes mega sweet and romantic at the end as well. Oh, baby Lestrade--I mean, Grandpa Lestrade . . . *sniff*
