I saw it bb!

What did you think???

[phoenixacid]

IT'S LIKE ALL THE FANFICS TOGETHER. AND IT"S BEAUTIFUL.

I don't know, I need time to digest it. But just feels and hilarity all over the place.

You?

[being_here]

I really enjoyed it!

I loved the interpretations (none of which I thought were true ;p), and I adored Mary. It was fab to see Sherlock and John reforging their team, and Sherlock actually properly realising that he had work to do on that.

I did not like how they dealt with Molly, and I *really* did not like that they tried to make me laugh about fat, badly made up fanfic writers.

But, overall? Yes. Yes.

[phoenixacid]

I kinda adored everything except for the moustache, but they got rid of it thank god. I died, DIED at everything.

I didn't like that Molly's fiance is a Sherlock lookalike. But I didn't mind the Moriarty/Sherlock interpretation!! But I guess I wasn't laughing at the fanfic writer cause Anderson's theory was way more ludicrous imo. xDDD

[birdsofshore]

I DIED

I AM DED

THE MOUSTACHE

THE KISSING

THE OTHER KISSING

ASDFGHJKL;';LKJHFDA

too, too funny and perfect

[phoenixacid]

ALL THE KISSING AND THE MUSTACHE BEING A PLOTPOINT AND THE FANGIRL AND THE GIGGLING AND THE SJADHLKSAJDAJDSAD

I CAN'T!!!!

[birdsofshore]

So funny. DERREN BROWN! I died! (do people outside of the UK know who Derren Brown is?)

I loved the 'fake' explanations more than the so-called 'real' one (although who knows what to actually believe?)

And it was all so VERY FUNNY. So many jokes. And Sherlock thinking he could just come back and have a laugh and insult John's moustache, and everything would be ok. And Sherlock saying "mary doesn't like it" ahahahahahaha

AND EVERYTHING

[cassie_black12]

Saw it. Loved it. And did my level best to ignore some of the more problematic aspects of the show.

Lestrade was fabulous throughout. As was Mary. And Anderson too -- I love that the Empty Hearse was his club. I was completely with John on every punch/headbut he gave Sherlock at the beginning -- he absolutely deserved every one of them -- but it was nice to see the emergence of more human emotions from Sherlock as the episode went on.

The scenes with Molly were sweet -- and the reactions of everyone at the end to her boyfriend were priceless -- reminded me a bit of that scene in Friends where Rachel starts dating Russ (not Ross!!)

I just had this niggling feeling throughout that they were both pandering to and mocking fandomers at the same time, and it took the edge off an otherwise brilliant episode

[phoenixacid]

Yes yes yes! I'm pretty happy with most of the storyline, I'd say. I loved everyone, including the little shit, Sherlock himself even though he was trolling John the whole ep! Hee.

I didn't feel that they were mocking fandomers (or maybe they are, a little affectionately, idk) but I do think the whole ep is a huge big pile of fanservice by Gatiss. It truly feels like the writers have read all the fanfics and used bits of everything! Maybe I'll feel differently when I watch the episode for the second time! xD

[taradiane]

Okay, so someone needs to explain to me what this thing is that we all supposedly missed that gave away how Sherlock survived - something that, now, we still don't really know because all of the theories presented in the ep were exactly that, theories. None of them were presented as what really happened.

[phoenixacid]

I don't think they did give us a complete story on how he faked his death. Cause how do you explain Sherlock's survival in a satisfactory way after 2 years of fan speculations without leaving someone disappointed? So the fake outs were a funny way to address it I suppose.

The last theory do seemed to be the most plausible one - but Sherlock may have fibbed a little to drive Anderson mad. Or Gatiss is just trolling us by using one of our many theories. xD

[bererjs]

I really need to check out this show, I have only seen the movies. However, I really need to see this....

[phoenixacid]

OMG WATCH IT. DO YOU NEED LINKS. THERE'S ONLY 7 EPS IN TOTAL SO FAR.

[bererjs]

I think they have it in Netflix, but I don't know if they have all seasons and episodes.

Okay, I just went and check and they have Two seasons with 3 episodes each. Is that correct or they robbing some episodes? Lol!

[phoenixacid]

Yup, that's correct!! You should definitely give it a go. There were some things that I wish could be different, but on the whole, I found it absolutely entertaining and the characters were so much fun to watch. There's also a lot of nods to Doyle's canon if you're into the books.

[altocello]

I'm sorry, I am at the beach with no way to even attempt streaming! I will have to see what I can do when I get home tomorrow. Or wait impatiently for it to pop up in iTunes, lol.

[phoenixacid]

I can link you anytime. Just hit me up on chat whenever k. <333

[altocello]

*hugs*. Thank you!
