This episode definitely had it's great moments, but they were lost in the overwhelming confusion of events. Had the story been somewhat narrowed down, edited more smoothly, and more exciting, the episode would've been perfect. However, since that was not the case, I found myself getting bored, which has never happened to me with this show. Although many people love Sherlock's newfound softness, I for one despise it. I miss the Sherlock in the first 2 seasons; he was a perfect balance of sociopath and caring detective. Now, he is riddled with emotions that are extremely uncharacteristic. In short, the show is becoming more and more of a happy-go lucky comedy.
