Sherlock - The Final Problem

[menolly_au]

I loved that episode - totally enthralling!

I mean yes, unrealistic that Euros could do all that, total disappearance of baby until the end, poor treatment of female characters etc etc but it sucked me in totally. And let's face it - I'm only ever into a Sherlock Holmes series for Holmes and Watson interaction anyway (I wish they'd never bothered with Mary & the baby). And the ending gave us the same sort of resolution that House & Wilson got, but without the fatal prognosis. Best episode since the first in my eyes.

Anybody else see it?

Yeah, I was not a big fan of the first two episodes of this season - it was too soon for another friends break-up after season 3 opened with the same thing. And you're right - John beating Sherlock like that was totally over the top. John seemed different this season, I don't think the new look suited him.

Any small interest I had in Mary totally disappeared when she shot Sherlock to be honest and I wish she'd been written out then ( and with no baby).Didn't like the 'message from the grave' at all. I liked the montage but it would have been better without her voice-over.

But overall I really got into that episode whereas the other two in the season I found really dragged. What a totally screwed up family though!
