See, but that's the thing. He presumably had a trial (or some equivalent, if that scene with Mycroft and Lady Smallwood et al is anything to go off of), so the government is at least in the know. I know that theoretically MI5/MI6 get away with shit like this all the time under the title of "for England's benefit," but I find it hard to believe nobody is going to find out about it. Especially since we know Mary is a liar, and has every reason and significant motivation to get rid of Sherlock (she did kill him, after all) if she has the opportunity.

I just can't see how this show is going to fix all the problems they cooked up in S3. I know that's the point, but after the so-called conclusion to the fall in Reichenbach I'm less inclined to believe they'll actually clean anything up instead of glossing over it and just trusting that the audience will be stupid enough to swallow the bullshit the second time around.

A much more eloquent and level-headed individual put it perfectly a few weeks back: This is currently a work in progress. We are in the middle of the known story arc, so of course we're left with emotions and actions that seem to have no real resolution. We just have to be patient and hope that the authors update quickly so we can move on in the plot and get around to a happy conclusion.

I just really hate waiting...
