Oh yes, Ep1's ending was... different. Several options there:
a) Sherlock -somehow- managed to find 'the woman' and save her... This would explain Sherlock going from deep depression to a relatively good mood after that scene, but how did he find her? And how did Watson NOT notice Sherlocks' absence? wth?
b) Sherlock imagined saving her... which doesn't explain the mood change unless he is a very good liar (to himself).
c) She imagined the scene... again, does not explain the mood change.
Overall, I would go with a simply because of the aforementioned drastic mood change in Sherlock. He was down, he was fucked up, he was depressed and then that scene is shown and afterwards he smiles and the happy revelation music comes on. It just... not logical but goes a bit with the recent past where Moffat can't really kill off characters (remember the Christmas special and things getting really cozy in the Time Vortex with all those different 'ships').
As for the rest... I have to say I liked the episodes but then I do have a tendency to like socially inept but wildly intelligent assholes which is why I liked Nine so much with his 'stupid apes' :)
Oh, I didn't not enjoy them. I seem to have this relationship with Moff's writing in general. I enjoy while I'm watching, but when I start to think about it afterwards, I see all the gaping holes/problems. I've also realised that while he can set up a great cliffhanger - he doesn't seem able to write a decent resolution to them.
He's a good writer. Just, like others here have said, I sometimes wonder if he's started to believe his own hype.
