  1. My thoughts on the finale of Sherlock:

     

    <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

    I think I'm easily pleased, but I thought it was bloody fantastic. Desperate for series 3 now. I know the show is clever and everybody likes to take a stab at working it out, but I'm a bit perturbed at the outcry for a forensic explanation into how Sherlock faked his own death. He's fucking Sherlock Holmes, that's how. End of story. In case you haven't noticed, the show isn't cinema verite or ultra-realistic. There has been quirky scenes throughout; his rescue of Irene Adler in 'A Scandal in Belgravia' and the sword-brawl he has with a Middle Eastern assassin INSIDE 221b Baker Street without Watson noticing in 'The Blind Banker' are examples.

     

    Also, whoever said it'd be a better ending if Sherlock was actually dead...what? Are you made of stone? If it wasn't revealed that Sherlock is still alive at the end, it probably would have been the most grim ending to a television show in history.

    In which case they shouldn't have written it so that by the end of it that was the only ending that wouldn't have made it shit.

     

    They painted themselves into a corner with that whole ludicrous plot.

    I thought the ending was shite & couldn't be explained in any way that made sense but my misses pointed something out to me at the time.

    SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

    He asked Molly Hooper for help, which is out of character as Moffet said in his clue. She could have supplied a body for the fall & did the post mortem to confirm it was Sherlock. I guess it makes sense in some ways but is still a bit far fetched. Then again the whole series is far fetched.
