Oh man MY THOUGHTS TOO! And I will also be wrecked... I WILL BE WRECKED FOREVER. Oh god... I'm not going to survive.
Seriously though, the amount of love in that episode was staggering and now I love them all EVEN MORE than I did... I don't know how the heck I'm going to cope next week.
I keep saying it: I don't think I should've been laughing this much during a Sherlock episode but I did. And loved it!
I am not sure what to do about the baby. A baby on the show would be just wrong. Babies are cute in real life but, in my experience, usually screw up a show.
So next episode would be the end of Mary? I like her, I didn't expect to like her but she is fun. But I can't shake the feeling she is a bit too good to be true. She fit with John so perfectly, she knows about Sherlock AND doesn't mind. She actually seems to like Sherlock too...and come on...really? If Sherlock were this easy to love / like, wouldn't people have done it before? I find it kind of odd...
And in the first episode, at the end, was the creepy guy watching Sherlock and John or Mary? And why was Mary getting the texts? They were for Sherlock but why draw HER into the mix?
I'm assuming that they're going to lose the baby along with Mary, which will just make everything even worse. As far as I know, in ACD canon, John never had any children... but even if the baby survived, I doubt we'd see it on the show, because you're right, they tend to ruin shows.
Yeah, I really don't know how to feel about Mary - I mean, I love her, but are they making her so awesome because she's secretly NOT awesome and they're tricking us, or are they making her so awesome so that when she dies we're as heartbroken as John (and Sherlock)?
I have a feeling the creepy guy at the beginning DOES have something to do with Mary, not Sherlock... by that point, Sherlock's return had already been revealed. Maybe he wanted to see if Mary would immediately go to Sherlock or handle it on her own?
I think at this point what irritates me the most is the short seasons we are getting. I don't need 22, but at least 5 would allow them to neatly tell a story without leaving everyone hanging for two years.
I mean however that bloke from the end of episode 1 is, this can't be solved in episode 3...unless they rush.
They've kind of backed themselves into a corner with the short run of seasons. And I might be OK with it if they would continue every year, like any other normal TV show...but they don't...hell, right now we are speculating the next one will be in two year...but they might just as well keep us waiting 5 years...
Yeah, it's hard because they're basically giving us 3 movies rather than a TV show. But unlike most movies, they don't have the budget to make them really quickly. I think we're actually really lucky that Benedict and Martin like doing Sherlock so much, otherwise they'd probably just move onto their new epic film careers and not look back

When they were playing "Who Am I?", Sherlock said: "So, I'm human... I'm not as tall as people think... I'm nice-ish... CLEVER..." And his guess was that it was John!! I LOVED that!!
I also adored the scene when John went into his full 'army doctor' mode and called Sherlock a 'nurse' and upon hearing Sherlock exclaim:"a nurse?!?!" yelled back: "I'm making do!!" It reminded me of SiP when John said: "So I'm basically filling in for your scull?!" and Sherlock said: "Relax, you're doing fine."
I love your recaps and re-watches, I just never commented before. You're amazing!

Awww, thank you! I'm glad you like them, and feel free to comment anytime! Or not! I'm a big lurker myself, so no pressure. ;)

I missed the fact that he said "clever"! That just makes it EVEN MORE AWESOME!! Oh man, I loved that scene so much. And the scene with John being a doctor and making Sherlock the nurse...and man, I want to watch the episode again. I meant to watch it a second time last night, but instead I fell asleep...ugh, that'll teach me to wake up early and get plenty of exercise during the day. :P
Haha, yeah, these are my quick reactions... which is why my long-form rewatch reviews of Sherlock are so frickin' long that no one ever bothers to read them. :P

I read an interview where Cumberbatch says that it's almost as if Sherlock has regressed in terms of his interpersonal ... um.. thing he has. To me, it's like he just stopped trying to pretend about it. Having returned, he's so much more in love with his friends than ever. God I hated Moriarty and that whole thing, where Moriarty wound him around his little finger. Blech! I didn't mind Irene being naked in Sherlock's mind. I don't know what it means. Just, I think she fascinates him with her ability to dissemble so well

Yeah, I think it's one of those "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" scenarios - where Sherlock really came to appreciate his friends and family more when he couldn't see them for two years.

Oh yeah, I didn't mind that either. I just couldn't remember if she was naked or not when I was writing this - but she was! I think it's definitely that she holds Sherlock's admiration and respect.
Janine is open to Sherlock in ways he just doesn't expect. So he relaxes and he's so much less of a dickhead.Yes, definitely. This is also why Sherlock first fell in love with John too (and I mean that in a platonic and/or asexual way). John treated Sherlock like a human being and was open to him, and in return Sherlock did the same. I think that's also why

...but Sherlock not able to dance at the end! ..and the feels, omg, the feels!
...and my guess: they will kill her in childbirth, and I will be completely wrecked next week.
So much love. John declaring his love for Sherlock when asking him to be best man, and the sheer blown mind of Sherlock. Wonderful stuff.

THAT is what annoys me the most.
