Sherlock

Jesus... that ending. It was all good until the ending. I mean yeah, Watson getting shot by a tranq was lame, but things that happened before the ending was intriguing and interesting. Other than Mycroft turning into someone who was useless. I figured that Mycroft was trying to get himself killed and that Sherlock would in turn try to kill himself to force Eurus' hand, but then what came after that. What a big let down.

The TV series followed Sherlock's emotional path. Once the logical, smart, deductive guy turning into a sentimental type of guy, it didn't work. It just did not work.

Edit: After 10 min I'm still feeling pissed off at that ending

Yeah, I didn't like the ending to be honest. I hated the whole is moriarty alive garbage, pretty sure he would rather create chaos with a fake death so he could enjoy it rather than have chaos with a real death.

So...

Why did Eurus shoot Watson with a tranquiliser?

Guessing because she knew he'd tell Sherlock, they'd go to Mycroft, he'd tell Sherlock about her and then they'd go visit him.
 
Should've just made him her mind slave.






Maybe he still is...? Woah, just think of a possible special in 2019. Watson v Holmes.
 
The Small World of Modern Thrillers
There were an exciting few minutes during this week’s episode of the BBC’s “Sherlock” when it looked as if Sherlock Holmes was getting on with the job of being a detective. A client had come to 221B Baker Street with a mystery to be solved; Sherlock had deduced – well, guessed – that an entrepreneur named Culverton Smith was a serial killer; and he had devised an enjoyably ridiculous scheme to prove his suspicions. But then the writers performed one of their trademark rug-pulls. In the end, we learnt that Holmes’s main motivation for taking on the case was to shake Dr Watson out of his depression. Then we learnt that it was Holmes’s long-lost sister who had put him on the trail of Culverton Smith to begin with. The upshot was that the serial killing was more or less forgotten. Ultimately, the episode wasn’t about anything except Holmes and his closest friends and relatives.

What in the holy feck.

I've given this show the benefit of the doubt, I even enjoyed the first episode of the new season which was largely criticized on here.

But the final episode? Literally one of the worst nosedives in quality I've seen any show take since Prison Break after it's first season.

FFS. It was truly horrible and I found myself browsing the phone, going for a glass of water and generally giving a feck during the whole episode. Worst shite I've ever seen. This Euros had powers even an X-man would envy her, but guess what, cnuts - THIS ISN'T A SUPERHERO SHOW. Atleast try to keep it remotely realistic.

Also love the scene when Watson was saved from the well, "*toss rope*, job's a good'un, no further explanation needed". Just feck off.

Saw this as a top comment on that review :lol:

Eurus: I have a master plan to finally break Sherlock!

Moriarty: Ah, wonderful! What's my part of the plan?

Eurus: Well first you, of your own accord, have to come up with a series of impossible mysteries for Sherlock to solve.

Moriarty: Okay...sounds like I'm doing a lot of the work...

Eurus: And then you have to let Sherlock outsmart you, and pretend to be so upset that you kill yourself.

Moriarty: So I *pretend* to kill myself?

Eurus: No, actually kill yourself.

Moriarty: So just...okay...once again, sounds like I'm doing *a lot* of the--

Eurus: Now, before you die, I need you to record some close-ups of yourself saying the following phrases...

*She hands Moriarty a script which he leafs through*

Moriarty: Most of this is train noises! Are you going to be doing ANY of the work?

Eurus: Oh of course! I'm going to dress up as Zoe Dechanel on a bus and seduce Watson.

Moriarty: Oh, that's clever! Wait, why?

Eurus: For...uh...to be a sort of mysterious and foreboding presence in Sherlock's life.

Moriarty: Right, in *Sherlock's* life. So why torture Watson?

Eurus: So I can shoot him.

Moriarty: Ah! Brilliant! Killing Watson will--

Eurus: No, no. Just with a tranquilizer gun.

Moriarty: But...why?

Eurus: To announce that I'm Sherlock's sister! And then he'll tell Sherlock!

Moriarty: So you're going to tell him you're Sherlock's sister and then shoot Watson...on the bus?

Eurus: Oh! No. I'm also going to pretend to be Watson's therapist, who will *not* be Zoe Dechanel.

Moriarty: So you can pointlessly shoot Watson with a tranq?

Eurus: Precisely! AND, to *really* be a nuisance, or something, I'm also going to pretend to be a girl that Sherlock will be investigating on an unrelated case that I'll have no idea he'll be investigating in 5 years because it would be literally impossible for me to anticipate that. But rest assured I'll dress up as *someone* related to *some* case, and that someone will leave Sherlock a note with "Miss me?" written in invisible ink!

Moriarty: Miss me...that's on the script you handed me.

Eurus: Exactly! I'm going to play a video of you saying "Miss me?" to Sherlock so he thinks you're still alive!

Moriarty: But I won't be...Ohhhh! So we're going to set up an elaborate mystery *before* I die so that it will appear to Sherlock that I've set it up *after* my death! He'll think I'm still alive, and it'll drive him craz--

Eurus: Right, right, but no. No, there won't be an elaborate mystery under your guise. Just little notes that say "Miss me?" Because in actuality it'll be *me* he's missed! Not you! Then once I've revealed myself as his sister, I'll make him go through a gauntlet of deduction! And *thennn* use those fun train sounds which you're going to record for dramatic effect!

Moriarty: But then...excuse me, madam, why do you need me for your plot at all?

Eurus: To confuse the audience!

Isn't that what happened... :lol:

Edit: As in, why did she shoot him at all? Why not just let him go tell Sherlock?

She needed a few extra hours to go organise the Saw Experience, I suppose.

What I really still don't get is her thing with John. Just to show that she has a talent for bewitching people? And it barely ever gets mentioned again.
 
Just finished this.

Seasons 1 and 2 were enjoyable, but everything else was really ridiculous.

My favourite scene in the last episode was when they were calling Molly and while the phone was ringing instead of showing buttons to answer or hang up the call the display was actually showing like it's answered(in progress), it's the typical Samsung Samsung in-call screen. And when I thought it can't go worse than that, then she finally answered it and when they were finally talking to eachother, her phone was clearly showing screensaver on with few notifications around with no sign of a phone call in progress. Did they even bother to rewatch that scene?

They had a scene with John on a laptop apparently working on his blog, but it was actually a screenshot open in windows photoviewer.

They can make the painting bleed, people fly, but it's difficult to make the display show proper activity in some scenes.
 
The season was rubbish. The sister bit was stupid. The last 90 seconds is the Sherlock I love.. and we had none of that.. We havent had that since Season 2..

I don't think there'll be a season 5.. at least not anytime soon.. But it is set up to go back to the old sherlock if they ever decide to make more.
