Because inside every lie is a grain of truth. Magnussen was largely a commentary on the shit that Rupert Murdoch pulls all the time. I mean he gets away with worse shit in the U.K. than in America. It's also a bit of a comment on how people these days never verify things. I mean just look at the poor guys who were…
You're complaining about too much plot when the last two episodes have largely been about character and winks to the audience…have you considered that was the point? Sign of Three was all about the characters and how the future is going to look and feel like for them all. I honestly can't trust this review when time…
You must've missed that Daily Dot article. I think he goes too often to the same well of sassy and sexy for his typical female characters, but it doesn't necessarily indicate that he hates women. I think he gets lazy and goes for the easy archetype that exemplifies a skill he can do something in his sleep: write zippy…
I keep getting this feeling that people are falling in love with this narrative that Steven Moffat is a misogynist who can't write (except with RTD or Gatiss, despite neither really trying to rein him in). Moffat has a lot of flaws. I mean just look at Name of the Doctor or Wedding of River Song, but I can't call his…
It's a little difficult to take this review seriously when the reviewer keeps dropping snide asides to Gatiss like "Mark Gatiss has leveraged himself into significantly more screen time…a character who’s at his best in small, antisocial doses." It doesn't do anything to reduce the feeling that the reviewer just wants…
For me personally, it worked well enough. A lot of it was in Martin Freeman's acting, but I felt like it was exploring how Watson truly felt about Sherlock. Up to that point, neither men had confessed a word to one another. It was the experience of telling someone you cared about the truth before they died, which…
I actually thought it was astute of the writers to sidestep the issue by showing the fan theories, pointing where it makes sense and where it doesn't. Fans are notorious for deconstructing things to the point where you wonder if they're even willing to suspend disbelief for anything. Watson became something of a voice…
That's a fair reaction. I personally enjoyed the little winks and jabs at the audience because I internalize that it's all fake and there's no such thing as a creator who lives in a vacuum (barring Grant Morrison). There are plenty of flaws to all of the episodes (dizzying use of visuals, a dash too many winks, etc.),…
Mark Gatiss wrote this episode. I can't help but feel like you're imposing your own assumptions on who Moffat is over what the episode is. This is really poor reviewing if you start with "Moffat is an asshole who hates his fans" and end with "So fuck Moffat". The episode starts more humorously and so does the next…
