Sherlock series three, episode three: His Last Vow
[Spoiler (click to open)]Everyone on the staff of this show kept saying it was going to be worse than Reichenbach, and I completely disagree.

He wasn't particularly brilliant this season, was he? Don't get me wrong, The Sign of Three is my new favorite episode, but I'm 99% sure that has everything to do with Johnlock and nothing to do with actual quality of writing. It was hilarious and amazing and so overwhelmingly lovely that I fell instantly in love with it. But again, that's because it was pretty much ALL about the Johnlock. Yes, John married Mary, and it was lovely and adorable, but that episode was about two men who love each other (sexually or not-sexually, it's up to fanfic) finally getting the opportunity to say it blatantly and without regret. Much as I loved that episode, though, Sherlock wasn't particularly clever, was he?
The whole point of this show is Sherlock Holmes, the great detective. Much as I love the Johnlocky goodness, the point of this show is supposed to be the detective stories, no? There was pretty much no plot in TEH, and the plot in TSo3 was the wedding. There were no real "cases" at least ( ... )

I gess we wait now, and warm our hands by fic.
