I definitely agree with you on all points re: Empty Hearse. For me it was completely and utterly disappointing - almost to the point of ridiculousness. The off switch, honestly, what the hell? And I seem to remember that the guy in charge of that plot was Moran, which - if true - would be a terrible waste of the potential of a character like Sebastian Moran. The pacing too was awful: suddenly switching to an explanation to Anderson of how he faked his death, while in the middle of defusing a bomb? None of it made any iota of sense.

I'm glad that Sign of Three was good, though. Hoping His Last Vow will be just as good, if not better.

I know! And fanon gave us such incredible Sebastian Morans too! Whyyyyyyyy

I'm not sure I'm ready for His Last Vow since Sign of Three made me an emotional wreck to this day, but apparently the reviews are already very good! There's one thing I'm ready for at least, it's Lars Mikkelsen, because we definitely don't have enough Mikkelsens in our lives

Regarding the Holmes parents stuff, this short Mycroft fic really sold the "normal parents" idea for me : http://archiveofourown.org/works/1116457
