I enjoyed it, very glad it turned out the episode wasn't some random standalone and actually was part of the series and the past was a construct of Sherlock's mind.
Though it doesn't really move the story forward, its more of a playful fun side story to hold over until the 4th series. |

I wish they kept it pure Victorian and didn't tie it into the modern series. I saw Sherlock waking up on the plane coming a mile away from the moment the episode started, but I still hoped it wouldn't happen.
Sort of ruined it a bit for me. We're not going to get a new series for a bloody long while and the scenes set in the present day ultimately didn't add anything, so why bother including them? It feels like a cop-out because Moffat/Gatiss went for a cliffhanger they had no real answer for in S3. |

Well, definitely last episode when he was in the drug den thing. But I think it has been implied before then? |

What a really fantastic episode! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, although I do agree there was a bit too much time spent in the modern setting. I would have probably just had him waking up in the modern setting at the very end, but I can't complain too much because it was a really great episode.
Can't wait for Series 4! |

I'm sad to say I didn't enjoy that.
'Reichenbach Falls' was the last best episode for me. The last series, and this tonight... they've gone too far up themselves, for their own good. |

I enjoyed it but I suspect, unlike other people on this forum, I don't watch tv programmes so I can have something to moan about.
It was obvious that it was a dream from the scene in Mycroft's club but I enjoyed the explanation of the crime coupled with Sherlock's obsession. |

Awful. Just utterly awful.
All about the writers looking to demonstrate just how funny and clever they are. If there is a series 4, then it isn't for me. And like others, I thought the first series was superb. |

Can we just all agree to pretend that that episode never happened?

It was ok, but it felt like it was trying to be too clever for its own good.
A standalone Victorian episode would've been great, the modern scenes ruined it slightly for me. |

Any chance they can bin off the godawful Mary for the next series?

A little too contrived perhaps?
