Ugh, okay, I think I have procrastinated long enough now. Time to crush my last hopes for this season. Let's do this!
And we're starting with Magnussen.
Hey, is that blurry woman Lindsay Duncan? ...Yes, it is!
Magnussen has some cool glasses! "Porn preference: normal" And what exactly is normal porn preference? And does "none" mean that she doesn't care for porn or that she is cool with most porn?
Well, it looks like we're finally getting a case-driven episode this season.
Whoa, am I hallucinating? Did Molly really just slap Sherlock? Several times?
Hahaha, Anderson at 221B. Looking for drugs again. Hey, remember how Donovan used to hang out with Anderson? Can we please finally find out how she reacted to Sherlock coming back from the dead?!
Janine! Totally didn't see that coming.
I'm totally not revelling in the fact that Sherlock's fake girlfriend is Irish. *cough cough*
Smoochies. John clearly can't even. Oh John, I'd be wondering too where Sherlock's complete aceness had gone, but I'm lucky enough to have read the story.
Whoa, more info about Mrs. Hudson! But 'former "exotic dancer"'? Moffat, do I smell your handiwork?
Ah, that's the pot confirmed, then.
Sherlock's porn preference is normal. So is he a porn consumer? I can see some fic writers and readers partying about that.
Meanwhile I'm partying about the pressure-point list containing Jim. My precious!
So they did keep Sherlock's fake fiancée as someone who works for CAM. God, that means that Mary's best friend works for the guy who appears to blackmail Mary.
Ooh, if Magnussen will be killed already, this looks promising. I had hoped he'd be a bit of a decoy villain.
Shit, it's actually Mary. And she's fucking shooting Sherlock. Why do they always have to ruin the awesome ladies somehow? Okay, if she's a proper villain, better make her an awesome one.
Ooh, I like Molly's "it's not like in the movies" speech.
Little Sherlock! Could this be a Moffat son?
Love all this thinking about how to survive.
Padded cell and I see black hair. OMG, yes, please! Ooh, supercrazy Jim. It's so nice to see his face again. My precious *sniff*. And he does some creepy singing!
The cottage! With the bees! Hee.
Lestrade and Mycroft in the same room! I don't even ship it, but I totally squeed.
I'm having more trouble than usual understanding what characters are saying. Did I just catch that correctly, Molly was sleeping on the couch, so that Sherlock can use her bedroom?
There's that woman with Anderson again. I hope that's his wife and that they reconciled over obsessing about Sherlock being still alive, heh.
I like Sherlock's Homeless-Network guy.
Sherlock said "empty house". Hopes rising, OMG!
Although, maybe she's a former spy or something.
"How good a shot are you?" Oh god, yes please. Be Moran!
No, now it's looking bad again. But good for Mary not actually being a baddie.
Oh shit, didn't see John being the Sherlock dummy coming.
Argh, why did you cut away?!
Christmas! More of the parents!
Mary the client. Hm, she could still be a Moran.
Not that we're finding out yet. Argh!
Seriously, I don't like this new flashbacky storytelling style.
AGRA, okay, so not a Moran. Reminds me of Alias. Maybe the A.G. stand for Alison Georgia. Incidentally Alias's Alison Georgia's last name was Doren, which is so fucking close to being Moran.
Spy, I was right about that at least.
Oh, nice, Sherlock called an ambulance, but actually had a good reason.
Aw, Mr. and Mrs. Watson forever!
Hehe, Mycroft talks with Sherlock and says the word dragon. Maybe I'm just too easily amused.
Ahahaha, Mummy catches Mycroft and Sherlock smoking.
Dragons again! Totally a Smaug reference and you can't convince me otherwise.
Jesus Christ, Sherlock drugged everyone. Seriously, I'll be surprised if we ever see anyone drinking or eating around him again.
Ooh, are the glasses not working? ...They're not! Ooh, is there something in Magnussen's head that makes a connection to the glasses? Or does he have the screen in his eyes/contact lenses?
HA! Creepy.
"Sherlock, please tell you haven't just gone out of your mind." - "I'd rather keep you guessing."
Whoa, no technology involved at all. But is all this information worth anything if Magnussen doesn't have any physical proof? Also, if all this information is stored in his brain, the only way to make him cease being a threat is to kill him.
"I don't understand." - "You should have that on a T-shirt."
"I still don't understand." - "And there's the back of the T-shirt."
Didn't expect Sherlock to just off Magnussen. How can that possibly end well? And will we ever get a proper answer? Judging by the Reichenbach resolution, the answer is no.
"I'm not given to outburts of brotherly compassion. You know what happened to the other one." Did he just refer to a third brother? Did they just make Whatshisname canon?
You better not be lying about Scott being part of your name, Sherlock!
Ah, they're pretty sure it's a girl. How about Shirley. It's such a nice name. So far Mary and the baby are still alive and I'm pretty amazed. But I'm also worried that the show will pull a 24-like last-minute stunt. But you know what I don't care about? That Sherlock has been exiled. Man, do I not care about that. They've fucked up season 3 and now I have to wait years to find out if they for some reason made us wait longer for the Fall resolution than is sensible. So yeah, as I'm feeling dragged along. They didn't even have to drop any hints about resolving it later, just the fact that things don't add up makes me hope for a proper resolution. I don't know if I'd be better off giving up hope or continuing to hope. Fuck, it would be so very Moffat to leave some answers open for too long. This is not satisfying storytelling! Yeah, sure, Lost did it too, but they were better at it. That mostly was satisfiying storytelling. And they even had a Moriarty in the shape of Ben's fake passport.
I should probably hit play again and let them throw whatever else is coming at me.
YES! BUT NO! YES, I DID MISS YOU! BUT NO, I NEVER WANTED YOU BACK, BECAUSE YOUR ENDING WAS PERFECT! BUT THEN THEY RUINED IT, SO I GUESS THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED SOMEHOW. BUT HOW CAN THEY TOP THE REICHENBACH FALL?!
I don't even fucking know anymore. Don't talk to me.
But actually do. Because I need therapy.
FUCK, I SAID they'd somehow string me along and now they're doing it with fucking hints! Okay, maybe there is hope. Maybe this show just suffers from not having Jim as the bad guy (which would be unfortunate, because he can't be there forever). And even if Jim won't be in S4 (notice how this was an animated photo and not Jim's voice), at least all signs are pointing towards Moran.
And we're starting with Magnussen.
