More Sherlock griping
Feb. 15th, 2014 11:59 pmStill very spoiler-y, so mind the tag.
I liked the wedding ep best, despite an overly sentimental and therefore OOC Sherlock. At least it was funny. I laughed really hard at some scenes. The one with Mycroft working out will remain my favourite, I think.
Now, ep 3 I really hated. The plot wasn't bad in itself, though the erratic filming still gives me a headache, but good Lord, the character assassination at large! The Holmes parents are still idiots, Sherlock and Mycroft are now apparently willing to sell each other (since when?), Mary is stupid enough to believe that shooting Sherlock would solve her problems, and are they truly planning to bring back Moriarty? Because if they are, then I'm done with this show. I always hated that insane cockroach.
I'm perhaps the only one not impressed with Magnussen as the chief villain. And I really, really hate what they've done with Mary. She should have been the opposite of Sherlock, someone who could ground John after his loss, not this shady character. Sorry, Messires Moftiss, but I'm not buying your headcanon in this. And, as much as I love Mycroft, this much explosure has robbed him of his enigmatic air and made him woefully colourless.
