What the hell is wrong with some people?
Television Drama is meant to entertain I thought. Now I find that there's a vast league of frustrated wanna be TV critics, who only watch the box, in order to rip someones work to shreds. Come on then all of you, start writing your own stuff as it seems you feel you can do better than the present writers. Either that or do us all a favour and stop watching. |

I have to disagree..I though for much of it that I was watching one of the tv events of the past twelve months and I've hated the last two episodes.
But the ending was weak in the extreme imo and was glossed over by bring back Moriarty. A mad character who feels like a cross between an evil genius and Graham Norton and who actually shot himself last series in an entirely non sensical fashion. Again with Moffatt it's jam tomorrow. |

I am obviously in the wrong here but I thought Sherlock Holmes was meant to be a detective that solved crimes. I didn't think he was meant to be involved in all of the crimes in some way or other.

What a great episode of TV. I pity those who have nothing better to do with their time than watch and comment relentlessly on things they hate. A sad product of our age. Hopefully one day they'll go and find something productive to do with themselves.
Though I wouldn't count on it. Angry men with keyboards. Such a blessing they are! Meanwhile...amazing ratings, record breaking DVD sales, critical acclaim. Sometimes I think the Moff must look at this forum and laugh. Except he doesn't. Because hes too busy writing that! Enjoy your Pot Noodles and righteous indignation! |

You jest, but................. that's the level we're at now. What a shame, the first series started out so promisingly.

Pops into thread...
Thought that was great entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And I'm not anybody's fanboy and have no agenda! Carry on.... Pops out of thread. |

Anyone think Sherlock made the Moriarty video himself? He may have known that they'd bring him back to England to 'solve the mystery', thereby getting rid of his worst enemy and at the same time receiving no punishment. So although we did not see a 'clever' thought out plan to finish Magnussen, Sherlock had it all under control.

I did enjoy tonight's episode. Revelations came thick and fast. Much more deduction and pace than the last two episodes.
Not sure I actually like Mary in this series it as she was a plot device really for this series finale and it will be interesting to see how or if she actually develops next series beyond the 'mummy' role. A good finale though. Shame Sherlock shot Magnusson as he seemed less 'demented' than Moriarty. Moriarty is a pantomime villain really and reminds me of John Simms manic performance in Doctor Who for some reason. |

Agreed. Some wise words amongst the otherwise nauseating deluge of "that was totes amazeballs!". I thought tonight's episode was dull, undramatic and tedious.

I do feel that episode redeemed the last two, but; I'm not a fan of Mary, the bad guy could have been more evil and I miss actual crime solving.
From time to time they don't seem like the old characters and it creeps me out. Maybe the gap in between episodes is making them lose something. |

Or alternatively he gets away with it because he produces two of the highest rated dramas on British television that both make a fair bit of money for the BBC and so they (rightly and fairly) assume he must be doing something right?

Question: why do you take it so personally, whats it to you if other people didn't share your opinion? |

I just found most of the 'twists' really obvious in advance: e.g. Mary being the one threatening Magnusson in his office (it was obvious from the moment Watson mentioned 'Clair de Lune' being her perfume). It was obvious that it was Watson listening in on the conversation with Sherlock and Mary and not a dummy of Sherlock. Just obvious stuff that barely held my interest.

There appear to be a small, but vocal number of Doctor Who "fans" who have an irrational and personal hatred of Steven Moffat and will relentlessly criticise him for anything he does (as opposed to criticising his work, which would be the sensible and rational thing)
