Happy New Year's Day (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

How is everyone's first day of the New Year?

So far, it's off to a good and relaxing start. I wanted to continue the New Year's celebration by ringing in 2023 with a Geeky New Year's Day Holiday List which features the first episode of several shows. You ever notice how sometimes a first episode or pilot can be so fun, interesting and good that you can't wait to see the next episode. While other times, the first episode could be bad or mediocre and you're just hoping that the show will only improve from there.

There are 25 shows on this list and since, I couldn't include all the shows in Labels, so please scroll through the list and see if it's something on here you might want to watch.

Fashion Meets Comics and Fandom: Five Favorite Coats

I'm all about the warm summer weather and clothes but once it starts to cool down and become chilly, I'm totally focused on fall and winter clothes especially coats. I love looking at all the different styles and colors. I'm always getting inspired by looks and I also can't help noticing when a character is wearing a really nice coat as well. So, I decided to focus on some of my favorites. Since there are so many characters with great coats I narrowed this post down to five, however, I will create a few more Favorite Coats post for all the other characters. But for now here are some of my favorite coats.


Double Breasted Trench Coat

Billy Johnson (Run)

I haven't finished watching Run yet so I'm not quite sure what the real reason is for Billy Johnson running away from his life and withdrawing all of his money from the bank. However, in the few episodes I've watched he does have this really nice trench coat. Usually this coat style can be rather structured, but I like that he kept it more casual and that he paired it with a striped hoodie.

I love this!

I also love watching both Sherlock and Elementary and I think each show has their own wonderful take on the world of Sherlock Holmes. But one thing that remains constant, both Sherlock Holmes are annoying. I don't see how the Watsons put up with them.

Geek Chic: A Clyde the Tortoise Tote Bag (Elementary)

How cute is this? I so want this.

This bag checks three boxes for me, one because I'm a huge fan of Elementary. The second is for Clyde and third because I love tote bags (I have a lot of them).

As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I think Elementary is a wonderful show. I can't wait for the next season. And I think this artwork is really cute because Sherlock is so annoying and arrogant on that show and this picture captures him perfectly. As well as the look on Joan's face that pretty much says "Why Me?

Sherlock Holmes Sunday!

I'm so excited for the season 3 premiere of Sherlock tonight on PBS (check your local listings for time). I can not wait, this show is so amazing. I just wish they filmed more episodes.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are two of my favorite characters no matter what version or medium they are in. I've been watching this retro Sherlock Holmes TV series on the Cozi retro channel. It's in black and white and I love watching it. Not to mention I love watching Elementary which has a Dr. Joan Watson as the distinguished Doctor. And I really enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes movies that starred Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson.

And not to mention I've read quite of few of the stories which are still some the best mysteries around. In a few days, I also will be reading and reviewing "Sherlock Holmes FAQ" from the publisher on NetGalley. So, it's safe to say I'm a Sherlock fan.

Anyone else planning on watching Sherlock tonight?
