I have to be honest, my first impression is not entirely favorable. It's still a really good show, but this was definitely not my favorite episode. The Reichenbach resolution stuff dragged on, which was pretty much inevitable, but the whole terror plot was really uninteresting, particularly since it had already been done so much better in A Scandal in Belgravia last season. The jumping back and forth was rather jarring and the resolution is non-existent. It's nice to see everyone again, but aside from Sherlock and Mycroft (sort of) I didn't feel like there was a ton of development. Mary is just sort of there and they avoid even trying to answer the question of why Sherlock kept John in the dark for two years beyond it just being the sort of douchey thing that Sherlock does.

I dunno, this sounds overly harsh reading it back, but in a season with only three episodes it's unfortunate to have one that doesn't really do anything but pick up the pieces of last season and drop hints about a hopefully more intriguing plotline to follow. Not to harp on the Belgravia comparisons, although that is easily my favorite episode of the show, but they got it right there by resolving the cliffhanger in the first five minutes and then moving on. Also, the resolution of the series 1 cliffhanger was memorable because it came so far out of left field. The series 2 cliffhanger resolution was pretty much in line with what had been guessed, and that does result in some disappointment, no matter how clever they thought they were being by turning Anderson into a strawman avatar of the fandom.

Assorted questions I hope they answer in the next two episodes:

Spoiler:

I swear I did enjoy the episode overall, but it's easier to be a critic and everyone's going to be gushing over it anyway. Razz

Edit: I will say that I liked the visual style of the episode even if it was a bit disorienting at times (that might have been me being tired, also). It takes the whole slick, cool style of the past two seasons up a notch. The soundtrack continues to be excellent. And all the performances are solid, especially Martin Freeman. Although the facial expressions and stuff reminds me just how Martin Freemany his Bilbo is. But he's really good as Watson. Smile

writes women with perfectly perfect perfection and if you don't think so then you are hateful to women...- Amarie

I never mentioned the portrayal of women at all save to say to Eldo that if Molly is to have more to do they will need to flesh her out more.
Even in the conversation with Mrs Figg earlier which was about the particular complaints in the Mail review, were not about female characters but about fan service. If you must snidely bring it up as a jibe, at least do it it the right context.

Oh please. I was referring to Eldo daring to criticizing not one but TWO female characters in a Moff show and your general attitude towards Figgy and me when we do the same. The context is Moff, you, and criticism towards Moff.

Blah! I seriously can't spell anything right today! And ironically I misspelled 'anything' several times while writing it.  :facepalm:

I never read Eldos remarks as criticism of two female characters. Of one, Molly, and I agreed that if she is to be in it more she needs more to do. Mary I felt Eldo was just looking for more general info, and I gave what I can remember from the books about it, which isnt a lot.

I would have responded with the same information to anyone else.

Spoiler:

I wonder if Toby will be in the next episode. I hope he at least gets a nod.

I liked that it was all about reunion. Also... To quote sherlocl "everyone's a critic" Rolling Eyes they knew it wouldn't please everyone and therefore played around with the different theories.

Eldo, how did you see it? Every site I tried wouldn't work in America. PBS still hasn't shown it.

You'll have to click on the title and watch it on dailymotion to see it in fullscreen anyway and you'll find it there, but I'll edit in part 2 below the first video anyway.  Wink

I totally agree Eldo. In parts it was a V for Vendetta rip -off

I didn't really like it. There was no cleverness, no impressive deduction of any importance...it wasn't Sherlock Holmes.

This is the same old tosh Moffat & co reel out in Dr Who. Is the Doctor/Sherlock as little clay foot gods with the rest of us looking up in awe while the demi-god does his cool stuff. The god has his temple and inner sanctum TARDIS/221b Baker Street, his fawning acolyte groupies, the women are either sexy predators or losers in White coats and long scarves and the men are fanboys who havent a clue without the master on hand to save the day. Its all high gloss action filled and very little real content. Its 'fun' but you cant really watch the episodes twice without noticing the cracks.
