As I will say time and time again, every action and every word has a reason behind it, even if the actor doesn't know about it.
An obvious and incredibly noticeable action, folding of the arms/ crossing arms. People tend to do this only in reaction to something or it is always sitting there. A person could have many reasons to want to cross their arms, self consciousnesses, fear, protection, power, ect.
When someone is feeling self conscious about their bodies they will tend to try to cover it up, someone who feels as if they are fat will almost always have their arms covering their stomach. They get a sense of "it doesn't exist if no can see it" mentality. It is partially derived from shame, but this can just in general happen, if a person is reminded of something that would make them feel self conscious they may have the common reaction to try and hide and cross their arms. (arms crossed over the stomach or chest, depend on self conscious area, and slouching)
Fear, oh so common for a pregnant woman.When a mother has the knowledge of being pregnant they will always no longer throw their hands in front of their face in fear of pain but to their stomach so the baby does not get hurt. It is a natural tenancy, this also shows in people who have injuries in the stomach it is fear of something more than another, so they cross their arms in front of them. (closed eyes and crossed arms close and tight, full bent over)
Protection, if someone has the sense of feeling of being small and pushed around by someone who is seemingly big, the small person wants to hide away and never be seen by the large statured person. You don't need to be expecting physical pain just the emotional impact of feeling small, and any form of hazing or bullying or just significance will cause them to cross their arms. (Arms crossed in between their stomach and chest, slightly bent over causing them to look up)
And now power, the sense of feeling powerful, reacting to an accomplishment or just feeling of having power, with money, strength, access, or popularity. A person mainly men will cross their arms and push out their chest showing that they are high and strong, it has been shown in all of our past that when your chest is pushed out, it is like making yourself bigger in turn making yourself look and feel stronger. (crossed arms over chest with head high and chest plate pushed out)
This is a very diverse and interesting reaction, as a whole we acknowledge this only as one action where there are very many variations of it and they all mean something completely different.
Oh and yes there are also physical conditions that you have to know about so you don't accidently assume something when it is really nothing. If someone is cold or in pain we all know they could easily want to cross their arms and bend. If this is the case all previous thoughts of crossing arms is completely gone.

Television Review: Sherlock Season 2
Spoiler Alert for Season 1
Finally after two years of waiting the fandom of Sherlock gets pleased with the next season. Three more episodes, woot! (P.S. Woot is an actual word in the English dictionary) Just now noticing how amazing Sherlock is by being able to show out an entire story in only three episodes. That is amazing. Just thought you should know :)
Well the three episodes that came out were, "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Hound of Baskerville" and "The Reichenbach Fall." Each episode being absolutely brilliant in flavor and progress. Also now the new character of this season is, Irene Adler, the supposed weakness to Sherlock Holmes in the original series.
Starting off with "A Scandal in Bohemia" this one is memorable in the manner of seeing Sherlock only in a bed sheet walking into the Buckingham Palace. Him and Watson laughing completely at the matter as well as being confused. Sherlock and Watson get an "interesting" introduction to the deviant Irene Adler that convinces Sherlock to come and meet her and he is completely confused when seeing her unable to deduct anything. He is stunned and interested by the fact. The story goes on with Sherlock when they have to keep sensitive information away from others as well as solve a murder case by the river. Interesting. I like it for the lols. 9.5/10
Next is "The Hound of Baskerville" it is a much more confusing episode, normally you could have assumptions as to what is going on and it is restricted down to only human deducting other humans not the unknown. He gets told by a frightened man that he has seen a devilish hound in an interesting suspense we for the first time see fear show through Sherlock and it is interesting to say the least. This is very different feeling from the other episodes but, it is still great. 8/10
"The Reichenbach Fall" And now with the next cliff hanger we hopefully won't have to wait for. This being an incredibly exciting episode where Moriarty shows himself again, but this time ruling the world, confusing Sherlock and the entire world starting to question "Is Sherlock really as smart as he says, or is he just a magic trick creating murders."
**SPOILER ALERT**
It all finally ends with Moriarty outsmarting Sherlock convincing him to admit to the world, that he is a fake and to jump off of a building killing himself. Before this he talks to a girl, Molly, earlier introduced as the girl who is very nervous lover of Sherlock. Working at the morgue, Sherlock asked for her help. Everyone is seeing the connection and saying that Sherlock is truly not dead but only ran away with Molly. This is the perfect episode. 10/10
**SPOILER END**
If you loved the last season, you will be obsessed with this one, and even if you somehow only moderately enjoyed the fist season you will fall in deep hopeless love over this. This is a must watch. As a non professional reviewer I say, watch it or you will suffer the consequences . Thank you, have a good day. :)

Television Reviews: Sherlock Season 1
Background
The BBC television show Sherlock, with the lead of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman). I initially watched the show not expecting much and maybe it seeming similar to the American Movie, Sherlock Holmes, but I was wrong. The show Sherlock severely outran the lengths of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock, is better, smarter, better planned, and follows the story of Sherlock Holmes from a completely new angle.
In the first season in 2009, it was a non-broadcasted show that over time created the most excited and large fandom I've seen in a long time. The first season of Sherlock brought down blew people away. It was introduced with Doctor John Watson sleeping in the current century. In his nightmare he had a dream of his experiences in Afghanistan which gave him a severe knee injury that made him need a cane everywhere he goes. Needing a place to live he runs into the sociopathic genius Sherlock Holmes, both of them looking for a flat mate. In the first moments of meeting Sherlock, John Watson was astonished and speechless, feeling tiny in the presence of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock has built up the knowledge of a lifetime, created a system that works specifically for Sherlock that allows him to see every visible detail about a person, all in all, with Sherlock's fast moving mouth that runs with a smart ass tone that gives off a huge vibe of sarcastic British humor. It. Is. Brilliant.
Each episode in the short series of only four episodes the underlining storyline starts to appear into a huge cliff hanger that left people there for two years until the second season was released. The storyline of Moriarty that the names seems to be following Sherlock and Watson everywhere.
Setting
The setting is in modern day London, following the stories of Sherlock Holmes, where quotes are remarkably close, the story is perfectly betrayed. Watson is recording everything on a blog and so is Sherlock, but it is so complex and confusing that next to no one really cares. Sherlock lives in the classic apartment of 412 Baker Street with John and Mrs. Hudson. He takes on the job as a consultant detective, Sherlock takes on cases from people who come in asking for help, or cases from the London Police that they can't solve. As the blog grows so does the audience for who asks for the help of the great Sherlock Holmes.
Episodes
As you talk to people who have seen the show they all will agree that "A Study in Pink" and "The Great Game" are amazing episodes and "The Blind Banker" was relatively boring. "A Study in Pink" was vaguely based off of the story A Study in Scarlet. It was all based off of the first case that had arisen in the series that appeared through the episode. It was exciting and pushed the story forward between Sherlock and Watson, proving how greatly they want and need to work together. 8.5/10
In the next episode, "The Blind Banker" it was awkward. The story didn't feel like it fit well at all, I couldn't follow nearly anything that was happening because of how it was drawn out. Finally we reached the end of the episode barely being able to remember how it happened they mention the name Moriarty and then you jump up in the excitement that something finally made sense. 4/10
Finally in the grand finally of the season that is the absolute best of the season, "The Great Game". An episode where finally Moriarty is revealed to be a genius mastermind, a consultant criminal to perfectly counteract Sherlock, the consultant detective. Moriarty has devised a multi-layered puzzled for Sherlock to solve in order to save the lives of others. Finally the episode ends with the greatest cliff hanger ever seen. 9/10
Finale
I have very little to say now that we are at the end, except this is a must watch. If you don't believe me or feel uninterested then please "waste" 30 minutes of your life so that I can be proven right because within those thirty minutes I guarantee you that you will be hooked and feel compelled to finish the episode and then the series. Good luck to all... Remain sarcastic and snarky -SH
