    Ok, I'm done with this.

    That was utter arse.

    Irredeemable, irrevocable total bollocks.

    I'm more on Ben's side than anything, Watching with my mom, who had never seen an episode before, i was kind of embarrassed. Might watch A Study in Pink to remind me why I liked the show in the first place.

    God, how did this show go so far up its own ass in series 3 and 4?

    Last episode was pretty trashy but I know Gatiss loves dark humor and the macabre (a sentiment I share) and so watching it with those goggles on I'm fine with it. This just wasn't the right tone for what may be the final episode ever.

    At first I also really hated how out of character and useless Mycroft was (as he is my favorite), but I've sufficiently worked out it out with mental gymnastics so I can accept it.
    Can't disagree with this though.

    Having just watched this bewildering, incomprehensible finale, I've decided to end future Sherlock marathons with the capper to Season 2. Moriarty blows his brains out and Holmes takes the plunge. Now THAT was an ending.

    We... liked this last one? But maybe we're the only ones? :p

    It also definitely seemed like they were writing this as the last one...

    I liked this episode a lot, but the season was uneven as a whole. I'd place it just a hair above season 1, below season 3, and season 2 is right on top.

    Well, this episode was incredibly disappointing. I had such high hopes coming off the last one.

    I'm so conflicted about it. It definitely got my heart pumping, but at the same time there were so many things I didn't like. I liked the idea, from episode 2, that there was a third Holmes sibling, and that s/he was evil. But then she was turned into some kind of supervillain, and that was a bit too much.

    How could Mycroft be so useless? He's supposed to be the smart one
    And who was Watson's psychiatrists really?

    I guess what I liked best though was the explanation for Moriarty, since I really didn't want him to be alive.

    We liked it too!

    Maybe being relaxed about a television show is the way to go?

    I fell asleep through much of the last third, but I liked what of it I saw, I think.

    I was originally pretty peeved that it won't be airing here until around Easter. Now I'm thinking that might be a good thing.

    Otoh, I am anxiously awaiting the 2nd season of Just Add Magic on Amazon.

    I gave it a try on iplayer last night but, 10 minutes in, I realised I hadn't taken anything in and had spent the whole time wondering what the hell is wrong with Eggsbenedict Cumberlandsausage's head.

    I mean, I dimly remember someone breaking something but the rest was all 'how does he glance downwards when his cheekbones jut out right under his eyes like that?' and 'how is the top bit of his head so wide and the bottom bit so narrow?'

    I don't like this show much anymore. To me, nothing has topped A Study In Pink. The Dying Detective came pretty close though, but this show is getting infuriating to watch.

    Saga Noren is by far the better socially inept Aspergers detective.

    Benedict Cumberbatch is prettier though.
