In reply to Personage. My favorite part about this long rant was where you used Holmes and Sherlock as two separate people

Buurggh. Another bomb. Stop trying to humanize the guy and over-harp on the bromance (and tacit homosexuality?) the writers are trying to stuff into our throats (no pun intended). We don’t need to hear 18 times how much Sherlock loves Holmes and Holmes loves Sherlock and how much Sherlock means to Holmes and how much Holmes means to Sherlock. Very rarely close friends have to talk about it, they just live it. It was very heavy-handed and not subtle as previous writing has been. If you want to make a show about two gay men or two bisexual men or two “questioning” men then do it but do it somewhere else. Sherlock was much better as the “high-functioning sociopath” then the guy they are trying to make likeable. He was written well because he was not entirely likeable or normal and weird and eccentric. Now I am going back to savor the first two series.

In reply to cass1.

What this episode was about was character development, you can’t have a gruesome murder at a wedding as it doesn’t work. Also, fans saw a different side of Sherlock, a more human side, and if you really want crime and the arch enemy then wait for the last episode. In season 2, you only saw Moriaty briefly in the first episode, not at all in the second, and featured fully in the last.
Sherlock, the show, is not a detective crime series, its a show about a detective, something that the showrunners are trying to stress.
And also, if you were paying attention, you would see clues of the new arch enemy in The Sign of Three.

Love sherlock but this is episode was so disappointing. For a man who demands silence to think, he did not shut up once and it was drivel at times. The writers lost the plot if there ever really was much of one. A real disappointment for a real fan. Where was the follow up to the events of the last episode and the slight revelation of a new arch enemy? It was all ignored and was, I loathe to say it ..boring.
I predicted he had been stabbed in the guard box and that his buckle was connected and at the weddingalised immediatelyd who the intended victim was and sussed the photographer. Why didn’t Holmes? As a who fan also I am surprised at the sloppy writing which is,usually first class
