Funny thing is, the premise of this episode was the busts. I remember a really good Jeremy Brett episode based on it, but it was the whole story. They just used it as a spring board for more Mary here. I'm enjoying it so far and am following it fine, but i'm not thrilled it's become about her again, she just needs to go away.
I just feel cheesed off that anything potentially interesting was just 'dealt' with in the shortest possible time IN ORDER to, as you say, concentrate on Mary and her past, which we know about already and the violent, spy, action stuff isn't what I love about Sherlock. |

Moffat incapable of not focusing on the "companion". Where have we seen that before?!?!
He needs to hand both these shows off to someone else, PDQ. This is much easier to follow than the last special, but all very convoluted. |

That's the problem, though. We shouldn't have to watch several times to understand what's going on or what's being said. Gatiss and Moffat really are self-indulgent t**ts, who do stuff for their own enjoyment.... (IMO)
![]() >:(I wouldn't mind so much if they cocked up and ruined their own ideas, but they haven't the wit or intelligence to create their own shows so they ruin existing ones. |

I'm totally, hopelessly lost with it all.
I can tell you what's happened, but not why. It just stinks of Moffat squealing about how clever he is. |

How can Sherlock forget or forgive that Mary shot him in cold blood.? He almost died, ffs!
I have ever hated two fictional characters, who were supposed to be protagonists, and they are both named Mary. |

I remember when Sherlock would just solve a case with John.
Now it's all about multiple strands and confusing everyone. |

It's so bloody navel-gazing, just like Dr Who.

I'm going to start writing Miss Marple episodes where she gets married and all the episodes are about her husband's life as a welder.

Firstly, yes. Her backstory is ridiculous, unbelievable and ultimately drags down every episode focussed on her.
Secondly, who is the other Mary? I'm curious. I just realised I didn not say who it was. Did not mean to be coy ![]() Mary in Downton Abbey

I suspect there's more to the woman on the bus than meets the eye.

The problem is that it will rate well (what's the competition), and some people, like me, watch it, hoping it will improve, so the BBC will give Moffatt and Gatiss more stuff to do. It will be interesting to see how the next 2 eps rate. It's up against new Endeavour on ITV.

Don't get me wrong, Moffat is a brilliant storyteller (Press Gang anyone?), but he sure likes to reinvent the wheel. |
