I was wearing my superhero-film lens that someone kindly provided for me last week (thank you, kind stranger) so that scene really worked for me (I mean, I cringed and looked a way for a bit, but it was also good?). Superhero!Sherlock maybe really realised that he was feeling a human emotion, that gutting someone like…

That annoyed me in a way it never did in the books. Mycroft was like a Probably Good Overlord (who makes stupid mistakes), Euro/us is the Bad Overlord (who just needs a hug, like a sociopathic teddy bear), and Sherlock is the magic Knows-everything Overlord, and all three are moral idiots.

But why wouldn't she have told someone before he died? If her plan was for Sherlock to figure it out. She must have been criminally insane, and she still was… the hug redemption made no sense. She was clear-headed enough to do a LOT of organisation. If she could handle that level of logistics, down to miccing John and…

It's strange that the criminally insane make the most organised of supervillains - the whole thing must have been a logistical nightmare for Eurus and Moriarty, and it was no picnic for Culverton either, what with his need for secret hospital entrances and nurses to help him drug people during his confessions - but…

Queerbaiting? Rubbish.

Is the tan real? He's a beautiful fella, I'm not denying it, I just got thrown by the bits where he had a face-only tan.

Telling Lestrade to take care of Mycroft was a nice nod to their fandom. A bit random in context - for people who have no idea about fanfic - but cute.

He replaced the coffin lid and had a little emotional breakdown thing.

Pro-tip: think of it as a superhero story.

Agreed. Lines don't have to be realistic if there's some lyrical quality to them, or non-cliched humour. Credit where it's due, this episode did have one good one: 'Say what you like about drugs, the day is full of highlights.'

Bah. It's all so melodramatic.

Well, deciding that life is a game and playing by entirely crazy rules is indeed what this sort of crazy comic book character might do. But it's not a patch on the Sherlock Holmes books. He never took other people's suffering as a game - he took pleasure in solving mysteries, but he always had a basic respect for…

It was better than Sherlock. It actually had a mystery - a story, not a puzzle about how to get a constantly confessing super villain to fully confess in public, or a dramatic plot twist - and almost-believable characters. It was focussed on the story rather than obsessing about the emotional lives of its…

Trump is a comedy villain. Clinton may be a real piece of work, but she would have been batting in your corner. Instead, thanks to the red states in middle America (credit it where it's due, 2.86 million more Americans voted for Clinton, but they couldn't save it) there's a complete psycho at the helm who is still…

The writing has a lot of issues but I don't think it was necessary for Eurus to know that Sherlock was looking for a crisis to get John back… I have no idea why she wanted Sherlock to get rid of Culverton, mind, and I doubt they'll bother to explain… but she seems to be more fixated on John than she is on Sherlock……

Why does it make sense? Why does it make sense that she spent the whole episode getting Sherlock to solve the Culverton thing? Why did she did have to flirt with John and then randomly reveal herself and possibly shoot him? Why does any of that make sense? Unless they reveal that she is just severely unhinged and…

Did they not have time to get a few people to read through the script? Everybody kept SAYING everything, not showing it. How did they make a villain based on Jimmy Savile over the top?! He kept confessing, both privately and publicly. And everybody else kept talking too - Mrs Hudson, Mary and Molly all explaining…

This was my favourite show on TV.

I sincerely the hope the writers on the show read this! What a beautiful, thoughtful summary of the character!

I thought that was the fascinating thing about this… his life doesn't look golden in retrospect. It looks unfulfilled and the meaningful things that he did, the people he helped, was all awash in a lot of power-seeking, money-orientated behaviour. That's part of the reason why that final exchange with Diane was so…
