I wish it were as good an episode of TV as "Pusher."

I suppose Sherlock knew Mycroft wouldn't have the stomach to kill someone, but that still seems like a really dangerous bet to make

Question, did Sherlock and John make sure his umbrella gun was empty before they started fucking with him?

He's the storyteller. He tells stories

That's an immensely reductive way to grade something. It needs to be a gut reaction.

I think the interplay between Sherlock, John and Mycroft was good enough to save a lot of this, and some of the twists were genuinely twisty, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't at all what I was expecting.

I think if the serious finale *isn't* the Gang murdering first their acquaintances and then one another, culminating in a Dennis/Charlie stalemate (since Charlie cannot be killed), I'll be disappointed

Or she just used "miss me" because she saw it when that was broadcast across the entire country and knew it would get under Sherlock's skin

I agree but I also don't think Magnusson was *frightening*

Yeah the name bit I almost immediately thought "well he could have said the word 'you.'" That's one word and if someone said that's who they wanted to kill I'm sure it would tear my life apart

I actually made a note that Faith and the therapist looked sort of similar, and thought it was kind of a casting in joke

And the expression on his face afterwards was almost shockingly angry. I thought for a second he was going to attack Lestrade, Mycroft and Sherlock on the spot. He's an incredible actor.

I mean, it's a Sherlock Holmes story. They're all predicated on ridiculous coincidences.

It legitimately troubled me, the noise he made.

I think it was supposed to be based on the concept art of Bast Castle, but set on Mustafar

Originally, the lightsabers were supposed to be INCREDIBLY heavy, so the actors were told to act as such

Oh, that's very good.

Cassian Shot First

This movie and TFA are both riffing off the original, but this one is trying to be a companion piece instead of just the same movie again. That's important.

If it helps, I'm sure Cushing would appreciate the chance to get some more work even in death. He was a professional, after all.
