WHY IS MORIARTY BACK? WHY? WHY? HE'S SUCH A FUCKING HORRIBLE "EQUAL" FOR SHERLOCK. MAGNUSSEN WAS 10000x BETTER AS A VILLAIN THAN MORIARTY. MAGNUSSEN IS WHAT MORIARTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MOFFAT, YOU HACK, YOU DO NOT NEED SOME CAMP ARCH VILLAIN FOREVER IN THIS SHOW.
BREATHES
Other than that I really enjoyed the episode. The Magnussen plot was tense in ways the Moriarty plot never was. (BECAUSE IT'S A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CHARACTER.) Neat little things like the "dummy" in the empty house. (Which was a bit heartbreaking.) I was dubious going in because Moffat, but clearly he spent all his time on this instead of Doctor Who.
Mary was a shocking twist! I really wish she wasn't pregnant because she can definitely be part of the crime solving team! Well, once she has the baby maybe they can get a really good nanny. :D BUT OMG MARY. I mean, I was hoping before this series that I'd like her, but I had no idea that I'd LOVE HER LOTS. Former intelligence assassin? You go, Mary! XD I still think they all need to live together at Baker Street. Sherlockina would have so much to play with!
But Christmas at the Holmeses was just perfect and hilarious! Much of this ep (I wrote "fic" first lol) was hilarious, even with some of it being super angsty and tense. (Kudos to the writing team to having much more fun with it this series. It's sort of evolved a bit from S1 and S2, and I really like the direction they've taken it.)
I'm kind of laughing because I'm sure Moffat thought he was ending it on THE MOST SHOCKING CLIFFHANGER EVAR!!!!! BUT SURPRISE, I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT MORIARTY SO TO ME THIS EPISODE ACTUALLY ENDED COMPLETELY RESOLVED. PTHTHTHTHTHTHT.
Well, this series should result in loads of lovely fic! I can't wait. (And need to set up some kind of filter that excludes Moriarty.)
P.S. A handshake at the end? Could you No Homo any harder?
