Was it me, or did that scene with the therapist look straight out of porn ? The acting was certainly at that level. Institute of the Higher Mind = Scientology ???? Haven't watched the episode till the end but I almost want to assume that his previous fiance backed out because she didn't want to get in bed with his "religion" as well, unlike Kathy Holmes. So what;s the "landmine" do you guys think - an out-of-wedlock kid/adoption, drug use, mental health problems, a cult of her own, ... This show has a plot I've read a million times in cheep erotic novels, with the potencial of going full Fifty Shades weird cause of the Institute and contract thing.

So, at the end there, how many of those characters are really just David ? I'm kinda unfamiliar with Legion, so I'm not sure if he has like a personality disorder where each personality is a different person with a mutant power or when he meets new people he absorbs their personality so they become a port of him, one of the Legion sort of speak. It was good, if not a bit too trippy at times. I have a headache after watching this.

I have to agree, that was surprisingly good. I'm watching it.

I got to say that the Harem spin off just writes itself, with a few minor adjustments. You have a cop/FBI agent/or some other three letter group chick going undercover in a all woman gang. The leader is a fierce woman, and a lesbian. The cop needs to get close, so they hook up and do their thing steeling abont for a year or two. Then the cop has to bring the members to justice, it almost works but the leaders escapes and in the process realizes that her lady love betrayed her. She goes into hiding and spends a few years find who the chick really is and plotting her vengeance. And the show starts as our cop lad finds out that her former lover and criminal is back in play, and the cat and mouse game is on. We find out the whole tail in flashback. Now for extra flavor, the cop could be married (to a man if you want extra messiness, maybe with a kid or two). We would have a lesbian and bi leads, a juicy love triangle, because people are into that sort of thing, ,.... Who wants to produce it with me. As for the episode itself, I like that Lizz was actually competent in it, but the fact that non of those criminals knew she was former government fugitive and that she was reinstated as an FBI agent compliantly stretches any believability.

YESSSSSS !!!! My Jack as Tin Man theory from last week came true !!!!!!

Well, she was allowed on twitter at least. If she needed an hour each time to stop a terrorist plot, i'm sure she was able to gather all the relevant knowledge she needed online. As one previous poster said, they needed to remove Mary out of this equation because she would have gone full Rambo through Eurus's Saw-like prison in a jiffy.

I know. They trashed Debs character for the last 3 season so much and only Jennifer's acting saved it somewhat, but to kill her of and leave that lumberjack thing alive at the end - unforgivable, among many other infractions.

Why would there be a secret 4th episode that they didn't advertise. I mean, that is contract-indicative to how you get viewers in seats. At the very least, if there was one they would have advertised it as a big surprise right after episode 3 to get everyone hyped up. And yes, I understand the "everyone stops after the 3rd one" reference but come on. The production cost alone .... it's the same thing with a fake episode conspiracy theory. That is not how things work. And this show would need to reach Dexter's level of suckness for me to just write it of. Now that was a show that lasted far past it's expiration date and had one of the worst season/series finals ever.

Naturally.

IDK man, if I'm getting just 3 episodes per season every 3-5 years, I want those episodes to be explosive, elaborate, different, exciting, larger then life. If I wanted a regular by the book procedural I can watch Elementary, Criminal Minds, Bones, The Blacklist... , which I do, but I like that Sherlock has moved away from it. And for the record, with the exception of the first episode I found all those adjectives applied to this season and this finale. If some didn't, that is that I guess.

She was a 6 years old. No matter how clever, no one would have thought that what she was saying was anything other then a game or a joke. They don't say how long after Victor's disappearance she burned down the ancestral home. They were weary when she cut herself and tortured Sherlock, but it was the burning down the house that got her put into a psych-ward by uncle Rudy.

Well, at this point, she is as close as he is going to get to a Holmes in the bedroom. :p Who knows, if Sherlock sees them together he may finally realize that John was only ever meant for him,...../sarcasm And John really does attract the psychos. If I were Moffat/Gatiss I'd go full tilt and just do my own version of those original Basil Rathbone stories - go full Batman/James Bond ;)

I'd love for them to bring back The Woman in season 5. It doesn't even have to be a "romance" plotline (I doubt that would even work, any normal looking romance is beyond those two), just their cat&mouse interaction is enough to make a good episode. A Scandal in Belgravia is my absolute favorite Sherlock episode - no contest, probably one of my favorite episodes of TV of all time.

The American Loch Ness monster episode. I think an alligator eat him. It's been so long since I watched The X Files.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH !!!!! You know what, I think I wanna see that too, Rambo makeup and all. She just shooting up the place while the other 3 just stood there silent and impotent.

Psychology isn't an exact science. You can have people be children of an alcoholic - because of that some will not take a sip of alcohol in their life while others will repeat the same patters as their parents. Can you really determine which will be which in early childhood ? A trauma effects everyone differently, most people will react in a predictable way, but not all.

It looked like a cheesy film noir to me - a detective and a femme fatalle. If Mycroft is into that sort of thing, setting up Sherlock against The Woman must have given him tons of secret pleasure.

Not just an umbrella sword, but an umbrella sword that turns into a gun. I've always loved that, when people put slim swords into umbrella's or canes. When I have the means, I'm getting one.

I found it interesting that Sherlock actually thought his brother was that cold-hearted - it's clear that while Mycroft has no problem being the chess-master, he doesn't have the gall to pull the trigger himself, in this case literary. I don't think that Eurus's intelligence has anything to do with her pathology - she is clearly a born sociopath (rare but not unheard of) that went into full psychopathy in the development stages of infancy. Her intelligence facilitated her ability to hide the truth from adults but even that wasn't unlimited as her parents found her cutting herself and being very emotionless about it - she was to young to understand the need to hide such thoughts.

He is a royal dick anyway. Frankly Molly, love yourself girl. His ass ain't worthy of you.

If anything the bomb part is the most unbelievable part of the story - how are non of them hurt. Man, I got knocked of my bike by a car about 18 months ago and broke both my arm, leg and had a massive blue-eye. They got blown up and went out of a first/second story window and nothing. Now that is some first rate syfy.

As for the family, if they moved far away, I could totally see them just ignoring the fact that they had a daughter. She supposedly died in a fire at psych-hospital while she was still a child, and if they noticed that Sherlock was suppressing the memories of her, ignoring her name or existence and started refusing to acknowledge Redbeard as anything other then a dog, it was probably a discussion between the parents and a young adult Mycroft to not mention her in front of him, remove all photographs and alike to diminish further emotional trauma. As for the boy, I would assume that nobody paid any mind to her earlier allusions of locking Redbeard up (she was a 6-yo, no matter how bright) and after she burned down the ancestral home they moved away. I don't doubt that there was talk of a missing child, but as they moved away Sherlock would have no memory of it.

I don't think Watson could see the bones clearly, the moonlight wasn't very bright and grabbing an arm or a leg bone can hardly be indicative, plus it was a very stressful situation. When he found a small human skull it all made sense.

It's not that he is just astute, Watson sees what they only observe. While they connect the noncollectable to the naked eye, Watson sees the simple things that minds like theirs overlook. Just by listening he figured out that it was the governors voice and what that meant for the prison. What I like about this episode is that it basically showed that Sherlock was a normal bright sociable child. His sociopathic tendecies were in direct result of trauma that stunted his emotional growth.

IDK, this episode was mid-range in quality in my book. I'm shocked so many people hate it, but as they say "de gustibus non est disputandum". If I had to rank them all : A Scandal in Belgravia (2.01) The Reichenbach Fall (2.03) The Sign of the Three (3.02) The Lying Detective (4.02) The Final Problem (4.03) His Last Vow (3.03) The Great Game (1.03) A Study in Pink (1.01) The Abominable Bride (4.00) The Hound of Baskerville (2.02) The Empty Hearse (3.01) The Six Thatchers (4.01) The Blind Banker (1.02)
