I would assume they did. Sherlock was just messing with people's canes last episode, and I can't imagine Mycroft leaving his gun unloaded.

We've seen Mycroft working out on a treadmill, to be fair.

Thank goodness the motion sensing grenade is polite enough to give a middle aged man enough time to run away before detonating.

"while the show’s gleeful insistence that all would be explained made “The Empty Hearse” just a little bit intolerable, the means by which Sherlock escaped his fall didn’t matter much, either"- I'd say that very much does matter, and fan's bitterness about that shows.

I have trouble taking "a character fantasizes about his neighbor, who is Marilyn Monroe" seriously as a complaint.

It's not like this was a wardrobe malfunction that just happened to end up in a movie. Someone said "Marilyn, your skirt is going to be blown up by the air, you'll hold it down, and we're going to put it in our movie", she said "sounds great".

It's quite possibly the most iconic sexy moment in film. I mean, what comes after it? Phoebe Cates in Fast Times? Of course people paid attention to it.

It's gross to watch a famous sex symbol in a scene meant for public consumption, and that was so memorable that it's still constantly referenced to this day? It's not like people were staring through her window at her changing, this was for a film.

I definitely kept expecting a second reveal. Another car just happened to crash into the house of a cabinet minister with a dead son and a broken Thatcher statue, making the car explode? That sounds like the setup to a mystery, not just a weird coincidence.

"From the moment Nathaniel assumes Darryl got into law school because he’s one-eighth Chippewa, he places himself forever beyond redemption "- I mean, it's not like Darryl appears to be at all good at the law.

Or just stop using Disqus because it's awful.

Most villains aren't really copies of the hero. And even when they are, that's not a formula that I'm going to complain about. Fun and quippy? Yes. Powers from the same source? Happens, it's fine, ties origins together nicely. Hero beats the villain? Complaining about that's more than a bit petty.

I used to love that word. It was great. Like River Tam in Firefly. But now when I see it, 80% of the time it amounts to "I feel like this is maybe offensive, but I can't or won't really articulate why".

I definitely feel like in the past few years I've seen a lot of news stories about a tiny number of unpopular internet commenters saying a dumb thing.

The weird thing is he legitimately seems to have normal sized hands, so the joke never really lands for me.

" Instead, they believe it is their duty, as a “real” fan, to dictate what art others should or shouldn’t support. Some even believe it’s their job to tell the creators how to make it, then turn on them when they don’t agree."- because the AV Club would know nothing at all about that.

". But a rich Korean American woman is going to have a different life compared to a rich Anglo-American woman, and the writing should hopefully reflect that. While Liz is still a caricature, she’s a caricature that only makes sense if she were played by a blond white lady. Hopefully the writing will level up in the…

I mean, unless she's got bunny ears she's probably watching it on a TV with cable.

Mercy on who? Who is harmed by this? If you don't watch it, a third season won't affect you. If you do watch it, it's good.

I'm surprised by the middling reviews, I loved it.
