No one knows how much I hate when Holmes' story becomes an addict's story. I had to suffer it through House and I'd rather not having to do it again. Right now, I can't say I like Joan. The things Mycroft told her about Sherlock and that terrorist were for him to tell. She could have told Sherlock to ask Mycroft about his real reason for working for the MI6, but no, she went and told him herself. Because she had to defend Mycroft. The impact it could have on Sherlock didn't matter. Does she have the right to live her own life and to do what she wants? Of course, she does. But does she have the right to call herself Sherlock's friend? I doubt it. If you asked me to define ACD's Watson with one word, I'd say "loyalty". I can't define this Watson with that word and that bothers me. I guess Sherlock decided by himself to start working for the MI6, too. Maybe he's using, maybe he's not, but it seems to me that he thinks that his relationship with Watson is over. I mean, I can't imagine Joan working with the MI6. What if MI6 and NSA wanted different things? Of course, if their relationship is broken, season 3 will be the moment to fix it but it's sad to see them falling apart. While I hated Mycroft/Joan, I liked him and I'm sorry to let him go. That final moment when he hugged Sherlock was very touching. But I can't believe he seems to be gone for good and we still don't know why the hell they had such a bad relationship.

What's exactly June trying to do with Blaine? What kind of influence is she supposed to have? What I've seen makes me think she could get him a contract as a singer in a luxury cruise ship, nothing else. But maybe I'm not reading well the situation.

Wow, that was depressing. Awesome, but depressing. Honestly, I think I'm still a bit angry with them for not killing the bad guy when they had the chance. They knew Decima was the biggest threat. Now I'm "great job, Harold, I'm glad your conscience's still clean". And I really love and respect his goodness, don't get me wrong, but that was a glaring mistake. Loved Shaw and Root, I'm shipping them hard. I think Shaw thinks that Root is just messing with her, but they really care for each other. Otoh, I always thought Shaw was straight and Root, gay. (In fact, I think Root despises every man on the planet but Harold). But these things aren't written in stone, so... it can happen. Poor Hersh, I was starting to like him. I hated Collier, though, so I'm not sorry he died. Besides, he lost a great chance to redeem himself. For a moment, I thought he was going to grab the old fart and jump off from the building with him. That would have been awesome. Now, one thing I love about Decima is that the old guy really wants to put the computer in charge, which is way more interesting than wanting to be himself in charge. I just can't wait to see what it will do. Will be it a good leader? I'm really curious about that.

I like that. Maybe king Richard? Or Will Scarlett? The relationship between Rumple and Bella is so dysfunctional they were married by a therapist. Loved every scene with Hook and Emma. The bit of sadness in Hook's eyes every time he looked at Emma was killing me. Thank God she realized at last how great he is. And I liked Emma a lot in this episode. I can't imagine how touching the experience was for her and she seemed to be enjoying her life as Fairy Tale Princess (most of the time). Lady Marian was a total surprise for me. I don't know why, I thought she could be Pocahontas. Anyway, while I'm sorry for Regina (she might be evil, but she's also a fabulous character and I like her for that), I agree that lady Marian's presence at Storybrooke is a good thing on itself. And I also agree that Regina seems to forget quite often her own lesson about facing the consecuences. I haven't seen Frozen yet, so I'm not that excited about fourth season, but I enjoyed this finale a lot. It wasn't about defeating the Big Bad Guy (Witch) and I really appreciate that. The writers should try this kind of story more often .

No, it wasn't, that's the point. I was hoping to find some hint.

So Shae went there. I wasn't sure, but now I can see Tyrion killing her like he does in the books. She was so cruel. Unless Cersei was forcing her to say all those things, what Shae did was a complete bertrayal. I loved Dinklage in his final speech. Poor Tyrion. Poor Theon, too. His scenes with Ramsay are too disturbing for me. I could watch Joffrey all day, but when Theon and Ramsay are on my screen I just want the scene to finish. I liked this Mr. Daenerys a lot. His scene with Dany was great and I'm glad the show is (more or less) telling us that she shouldn't have tortured and killed those masters. Davos Seaworth is one of the best men in Westeros. He deserves everything that's good. Show!Varys is one of my favourite characters. The actor's so great. The Unsullied are very disappointed with him now, but I loved the way he said he remembered everything. His scene with Oberyn was very interesting too. I guess Varys and Doran Martell have to be working together but I wonder if Oberyn knew about that. Here, it didn't look like he knew. Mace Tyrell is hilarious. He looked so proud to be fetching Tywin some paper and ink! Maybe he's acting, like Pycelle, but I don't think so.

I'm so "I knew it" right now... And I'm glad I wasn't wrong about Freddie because I don't want Will to become a murderer, that would have been too sad. There are a lot of ways of shooting a scene where two men are eating ortolans. If your chosen way are close shots where they slowly open their mouths and engulf the birds while looking at each other... well, yes, my mind goes there. Mason deserves pain, lots of pain. Poor Margot.

I hate Mycroft/Joan. "It's his problem, not our problem". Wow, Joan, you and I have a very different concept of friendship. I never liked Watson's weddings in canon, but it wasn't a big deal either, Holmes wasn't sad or depressed about it. But this new trend where every time Watson leaves Holmes he's devastated is killing me. It makes me dislike Watson. And the fact that here she's sleeping with Sherlock's brother is even worse. As a character, Joan has to create her identity outside Sherlock's influence, but doing that doesn't need to hurt Sherlock. I'm tired of this "new" imbalance where Sherlock needs Watson so much and Watson doesn't. Other than that, it was a great episode. I really enjoyed the scenes with the Holmes brothers. And I like Mycroft, just not with Joan.

If it weren't for the proposal, I think it'd be the kind of episode I'd forget the next day. I had a couple of laughs, though.

Jared? Why? Wow, I really want to know what's going on with him. Could Ivanek be sick for real? :( He looks thinner. Last time I saw him was in Revolution and he was playing another person with a terminal disease. While I'm glad he didn't do it, I'm surprised Larrick didn't torture Kate for information. Nina... I honestly don't know if she's trying to turn Stan or trying to run away with him. I want to believe it's the former; I would admire her for her self-confidence even if she failed.

Yes, but in the show he's the heir of the House Tyrell.

Yeah, everytime the Unsullied talked about the Lannisters, it wasn't difficult to find someone remembering everyone that the Lannister had killed Jon Arryn. It wasn't something they had forgotten so I guess most of them will be "OMG" with this episode. I'm glad the actor who plays Robin looks still like a kid. It helps that Sansa's so tall, I guess. I love this part of the plot in the books, Lysa's craziness, even Robin's running nose XD I was wondering about Loras and Cersei's wedding, but I think I understand now. Tywin will die before they get married so Cersei'll cancel the wedding.

He reminds me of him.

Heyerchick, I agree that Fuller seems to be confirming Freddie's death, but if she were alive, he'd still have to say she's dead. I mean, he has no choice but saying she's dead. Besides, I just can't believe Will killed an innocent person just to pretend he's a killer now.

Lots of things happening off screen, like Freddie's "death", And that's why I'm pretty sure she's still alive. And Chilton, probably. One thing I noticed is that first time Jack saw dead Randall at the museum, Jack was completely alone. There weren't other cops with him, no museum workers. I had the feeling that he had gone there to see what Will had had to do, that Randall wasn't "found" until some time later. And we saw that Will's keeping some parts of Randall in his fridge, so I guess that's where the long pork was coming from. Now, if I were Will, after catching Hannibal I would become a strict vegetarian, that's for sure. But I'm not sure Will's plan will work. We know that Jack's going to go after Hannibal on his own and that doesn't sound like "we've got enough evidence against him". Loved Mason, he was so sick and disturbing. The actor's great. I can't wait to see more scenes with Hannibal and him. I didn't like the sex scene, though. Too cheesy to me. I didn't even know Will was still pinning for Alanna so to me, it didn't make sense. If he had fantasized about Hannibal or Abigail... But Alanna? And why was Hannibal wearing his plastic suit in one scene? Who was he trying to kill? Was he waiting for Freddie?

I always had doubts about Mycroft being a criminal and I'm glad he really works for the British Government. There was something really sad about Mycroft being that pathetic and dishonest. But I still wonder about his feelings for Joan. I mean, if you're in the middle of a dangerous situation, it doesn't seem the best moment to try to start a romantic relationship because you're putting that person at risk, too. I'm afraid Mycroft was actually trying to put distance between Joan and Sherlock. Sherlock will be pissed to learn about Mycroft, but I think it'll be also a relief for him. You know, like "my brother isn't a useless git; he's totally cool and smart!!". So, I guess M16 was going to run a secret office in NY via Mycroft and they thought their work would be easier without Sherlock there. Okay. But what was Mycroft's mission? To catch the French guys? He had been making business with them for months or even years. To get the list? De Soto took the list and left. I mean, maybe it was a fake list, but why Mycroft didn't say "paint in black" when the boss was still there? I'm confused. “My father is a Lovecraftian horror who uses his money to bludgeon his way to ever more foreseen profits” "And Credit Versoix is the perfect banking partner for a man accostumed to the aggresive practice of the business" LOL

Awww, the hug Sheldon gave Leonards was SO.CUTE. He really, really meant it. Like Mindwalker, I didn't know Newhart before TBBT and Professor Proton wasn't a character I loved, but I liked him here, as Obi-Wan. The Death Star cake was awesome! And I loved the talk about why Amy and Bernie ended up studying science. "Selling cookies on a street corner, like a whore" XDD

"It isn't easy to be in charge, is it?". No, Bellamy, especially when you're the other one in charge, making stupid decisions all the time and having people murdered. I'm still interested in the Grounders. I knew they spoke English! And I guess it makes sense that they can't write, but the survivors should have kept that ability alive. It should have given them access to a lot of information.

Larrick makes me nervous. He's so dangerous... Although tbh, I don't understand how he found the place with the phone guy. I'm sorry for lots of people killed by Elizabeth and Philip, but Amador isn't one of them. He was ready to use his position and his badge to bully "Clark", which is a disgusting thing to do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he deserved to die, of course he didn't, but I never liked him and he had no right to do what he was trying to do. I've never been comfortable with the way American TV shows portray atheism. It's usually about being angry with God because someone they loved died, but that isn't atheism (quite the contrary, it's a proof of your belief in God). In The Americans, Philip and Elizabeth are just raging, but they aren't telling Paige why. Would it be that suspicious to tell her that they're atheist? I mean being an atheist doesn't mean you're a Soviet spy. Can't they have a rational talk about religion?

Wow, this episode was brilliant! I thought Grace was going to find out that Harold's alive, but it's better that way. They can't be together, so it would be like reopen an old injury. I love the gang working together, although I can't understand why Reese and Shaw didn't start to shoot the bad guys the moment Fusco left with Grace. Their aim is amazing and it isn't as if the bad guys were going to kill Harold. One question: if they destroyed the computers the tech guy was using and Root's stolen those generators, what and where is Samaritan?

Awful episode. I like Blaine, but there wasn't anything special in his performance and I can't believe MacLaine thought he was so awesome. And Rachel, ugh. I would have been okay with her plot if it had ended when she got scolded by Sidney, but then she got that TV offer and I hated it. This show... I think I can't stand it anymore. Everything seems fake and forced.

I think this episode was quite good. I knew the little kid was a returned the moment I saw her mom and the clothes she was wearing. I loved the scenes where all the returned were coming back; some of them have been death for sixty years; I wonder if there are going to be even older returned. And I'd also like to know if this is happening everywhere or it's just an Arcadia thing. The returned's blood seems to have healing powers. This show has all the ingredients to make a good story. It just needs a better pace and better writing. I'd love to see the returned getting used to this new world. And the world getting used to the returned. It's such a huge change... But it's like the writers are determined to be as bland as possible.

Great episode! Lots of things happened. We had some answers and good lines. I still don't understand why Hook didn't tell Emma about his cursed lips earlier, it just doesn't make any sense. And now Emma's angry at him, poor thing. I'm glad this time it was Regina's kiss what broke the curse.

I didn't see it that way. She's manipulating him, obviously, but her purpose isn't sexual. She doesn't want to have sex with him, she wants to have influence over him because she knows that Cersei's going to try to turn Tommen against her. I mean, how can it be grooming if you don't want to sexually abuse the child? So, Littlefinger and Olenna killed Joffrey and it was the Tyrell's idea... I read the books, but if I'm not wrong that was the explanation Littlefinger gave Sansa and, you know, Littlefinger. But Olenna's admission must mean his explanation was true. Loved the Jaime and Brienne scene! I'll miss them together, but I like the friendship between Brienne and Pod too. They have the same sense of honor and loyalty. The scene with Jaime and Tyrion was also great, But since Bronn's the one who can sing, I'll suggest Bronn and the Kingslayer Brothers. To me, this episode proves that the Sept Scene was never meant by the writers and director to be rape. Cersei was angry, but she was angry because Jaime had visited Tyrion, as far I can tell. Anyway, it's a mess. Graves should have said "I pretended to do a consensual sex scene and I did it wrong; I'm very sorry for my mistake, but I ask you to accept that it was consensual because we can't change it now and the show will make more sense if you aren't expecting a scene dealing with that moment at the Sept". He doesn't deserve to direct more episodes. His mistake has ruined Jaime for lots of people and has created a serious divergence between what was supposed to happen and what lots of people in the audience thought it was happening. (I'm not a Jaime stan. I like him, but I'm aware of his flaws. But he isn't a rapist and he was never meant to be a rapist, not here or in the book, and I think it's sad that now so many people thinks he is just because Graves doesn't know how to shoot creepy but consensual sex.) That moment between Missandei and Grey Worm was very sweet and interesting. And those changes with Bran's story, wow! Does Jon know in the books that Bran's alive? I can't remember, but I don't think so. Anyway, it's fascinating to not know what's going to happen XD I predict a gory death for all those rapist but it's just wishful thinking.

I wonder why Will told Hannibal about Bedelia. Maybe it's part of his plan, but I don't see how. Even if he's using her as a bait too, all the FBI could do is to catch Hannibal before killed her and it'd be difficult to prove that he went there to kill her. Will's playing with fire. I think he's faking part of his vulnerability when he's talking with Hannibal. but he might go too far. Loved the scene with Will and Margo. Fuller said he had made some changes on that character but it seems she's gay in the show too. And the idea that Hannibal has been growing psychopaths for years is quite disturbing (and awesome).
