That was basically the TV equivalent of post-OK Computer era Radiohead. That's not a compliment, in case you were wondering.

I thought it was really good, that first reveal of it being in his head was really well done. Then it just got a bit messy towards the end.

It was fine at the beginning, but then I started losing interest halfway through and switched off..which is very unusual for me, because I love this series. I am not sure whether it's just me, or the fact that the show doesn't interest me as much as it used to. I dunno, something just feels "off" or missing somehow..anyway, I will give it another watch tomorrow and see if I can get into it.

Brilliant. Loved it, and didn't want it to end.

Some really odd comments on here - was Sherlock a drug addict? Is Mary pregnant? What?

I don't often have sympathy for Moffat but when he produces something amazing like that episode, and people don't get it I do feel for him.

Any chance they can bin off the godawful Mary for the next series?
No, the BBC hate all-male casts, or all-male panel shows. There was probably some agreement that Mary had to join. And that the show was about feminism.

It's getting beyond a joke.

Judging from Twitter and Facebook, quite a few loved it...so I wouldn't feel that sorry for him.

Me too.... I'm starting too have very little time for anyone critizies either doctor who or Sherlock for being 'too clever'.

Nothing can be 'too clever'. Maybe these sorts of shows aren't for these people....

I thought it was awful. You thought it was amazing. That's fine, can't expect everyone to like the same things.

But to feel sorry for Moffat is something that I just don't understand.

So, in summary, in order to figure out how Moriarty is alive, Holmes takes an overdose to enable him to recreate a Victorian murder mystery in his head, in which the suspect, like Moriarty had killed themselves.

Solution ; A frankly bizarre suicide/murder/suicide aided by her pals who were all gals being persecuted by brutish men...Boo !!! Hiss! Holmes lets them all off.

Upshot of all that is Moriarty is indeed dead but bothers Holmes still, so he and Watson bump him off in the mind palace.

Oh and there's another hour or so of psychological analysis of Holmes for budding psychiatrists amongs us.

Can we just all agree to pretend that that episode never happened?
As it really didn't move the modern narrative along much, I think we can.

Complete shambles.

Best bit was seeing a distant relative pop up - Wilder played by Tim Barlow. He's deaf in real life so having him in a signing role was inspired casting.

No, it's not just you. Moffat and Gatiss (and Davies) are so far up themselves that they can feed the BBC (which loves them) any old trip and it will be accepted. I'm so sorry for Sherlock as series 1 was brilliant

Jeez. What a comment. I don't think they are too clever, they are not good enough to be too clever. They are just utter garbage.

The Supreme irony is that Mark Gatiss tweeted yesterday that he'd just seen Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight' which, whilst enjoyable, he complained was too pleased with itself...

I saw it as a 2nd part of the last seasons final episode Sherlock overdosed on the plane and in his head he was working out how Moriarty survived shooting himself while high on drugs.

Yep. I think that's it in a nutshell, eggshell.

Although I think the DS analysis will last longer than an hour.

That's nice that your relative was in it.

I did enjoy that scene in the Diogenes Club actually.

Its ridiculous that they're incapable of starting a programme on time.
It's for the latecomers like me who nearly always switch on the telly 5 minutes late...

If in doubt , a good dose of Mr Creosote always helps things along.

I am getting the feeling that some people are too thick to understand this programme.

It's hard to believe that Sherlock started in 2010.

Time flies.
Can anyone remember what the very first case was?

I think the only joke is you... oh I'm sorry that was rude of me please do post more about your BBC conspiracies and insecure fears about females..

I must say that I miss the Sherlock of old also...I doubt it will ever again be as good as the first two series.

Or that they are the only ones intelligent enough to know when utter rot is...well...utter rot.
