"I think the writers also think they are being cute by obscuring things a bit."

Honestly, I think it's a little unfair to Saw to compare it to this episode. Saw did at least understand (early on in the franchise, anyway) that being super-dooper smart isn't a superpower that lets you essentially act at a distance. Jigsaw makes traps that are at least fairly feasible from an engineering point of…

I think Culverton Smith was a more compelling character. He was presented as being what a serial killer would be like if they had lots of money - and that starts out as something that makes him very dangerous and scary, but ends up making him arrogant enough to think he's won - and they actually show that. We see…

Personally I think it's time for Jonathan Creek to become Jonathan Creek again, but that's probably a more niche complaint.

Yeah, it's one thing to handwave the little things that don't matter, and the show has in the past said that why people do things matters more than how they do them. But there's no fun to be had in this.

tbh, since it was a season finale, I was not that disappointed that it ended up being the grey goo that Moffat thinks is Character Stuff. But the previous week's episode really could have worked better if it had been an actual mystery, rather than some kind of "drugs = magic" handwave.

"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. "

The lower-brow video games (and even some of the "omg art!" video games) lift their shtick from movies all the time. They get away with it until someone tries to make a movie out of them and suddenly finds that you can't replicate the experience of playing something that feels a bit like a movie on screen.

"Besides, how can anyone really force themselves to not think about something?"

Mark Gatiss does alright for himself in that department, by all accounts. The least said about which the better.

I would imagine that if she killed the therapist it would be pretty logical to cancel all her appointments.

She did basically state that she was a lesbian though. I know they made her go all gooey for Sherlock, but by comparing her situation to Watson's (i.e. falling in love with someone of the wrong sex) I assume they were saying that it wasn't going to be romantic.

1) For the benefit of American viewers, while the link between Culverton Smith and H.H. Holmes makes sense, over here, there's a much more unsettling parallel to Jimmy Saville, which was implied generally - in a media-friendly philanthropist with establishment connections and a heavy Northern accent who hid in plain…

I assume that at some point in one of these films, the wife's lover will have said "Hey, how about you and me take this… OFF BROADWAY?" and then went YEEEEAAHH and done the punglasses thing that y'all like.

See, if, like me, you skimmed the opening lines of this article, you will have got to the end and been under the impression that "Cuck!" was now a Broadway musical.

And then hacking up blood in his partner's face. A fitting end to 2016, I though.

And yet it's on every episode of Fringe.

Yeah, you pretty much can't do that.
