ok then! You'll probably enjoy it better without dubbing.

I'm gonna write my review even though nobody asked for it (i'm evil ). It's going to be broadcasted soon in France but most of my family has already watched it thanks to me

Okay so I loved the episode, and i don't know if i'm biased or not but still I loved it. I think it was a nice way to please the hardcore fans (who will then notice all the different references to a study in pink) and the occasional watcher.
It was perhaps a bit overindulgent and that is a problem i have with Moffat sometimes even in doctor who it's the whole "look this is clever, we're doing something great". The last scene really showed that with Sherlock saying he always knew he was a man out of his time.

I loved the references to the original books that I've been reading since I was little so yeah seeing Mycroft this way wasn't surprising because of the original books and then you understand that it is in Sherlock's mind so that's really the way he sees his brother anyway
I was expecting a back to the future sequence but not this way and i admit i was so excited i forgot about it

As for the storyline with women and the whole controversy that was afterwards i think people are just never pleased they hated on Moffat for not giving any place to women and when he does (because this episode is really sherlock admitting unconsciously how bad he treated Molly, Janine and women in general in the past), i feel like they were nitpicking

The credits were brilliant, Benedict was brilliant (i love how radiotimes immediately explained why Sherlock wasn't nominated for a Bafta this year because it wasn't eligible, says a lot about people's expectation really ), Matin was hilarious, Amanda kicked ass and Moriarty isn't back (i'm relieved it would have been too much otherwise)

Great review, Clem!

I wonder if the writers will continue the story we saw in modern times

Impossible Girl

definitely

Clem, I love your review!

I didn't entirely "get it" until the re-watch; but I think that actually served me well as I appreciated it even more for being unexpected!

Yeah because then you notice all the subtle details like the whole pattern of speech that was wrong for the time

Gotta admit i had trouble with the list thing and the "we'll need a list Sherlock" and then I understood but it wasn't that clear i thought.

Also i'm scared for Mycroft

This episode was so good! I just found out Sherlock board was closed Is there a Sherlock x Mycroft thread anywhere?

Lutesse

Not yet on this board, Laura; but for now there's a Sherlock thread for series/relationships discussions.

We were sad to close the Sherlock board, but it seemed rather redundant after Benedict got his own board here.
Almost all the active discussion had become about his projects, and there was very little traffic with such a long time between episodes.

Exactly and if a lot of conversations revolve around the Mycroft/ Sherlock relationship we can make a thread dedicated to Mark and Benny as well (unless people are against it )

If there's an interest in their relationship, why not?

Laura, we're sad about Sherlock board, it was my favorite, but we had to do it after Benedict's board

CloisFan

I'm glad we have this board to talk about Sherlock.

~ Jis_Bon ~

We're glad to be with us, Laura!
