So this will be pretty much spoiler free. We know from last episode that the Holmes sister has shown her face and it ended with a gun shot. This episode goes from there with some horrific twists, emotional twists and all in all makes a pretty damn good ending to the season. I see that only one in three reviewers "liked" it yet it retains an 8.6 rating as of my writing this. It looks like the people rating this episode don't agree with the majority of the reviews.
Was this season different from all the others? Yep! We've seen the death of Mary, Sherlock going full blown junkie and him having to get in touch with his emotional side for the first time really since the start of the series. People who are used to and like seeing him be an a-hole are kinda put off by this episode but really, this is where the character needed to go from last season...
Mary is nicely not-quite dead thru both John's imagination and a DVD left behind.
Mycroft shows some different sides to his personality and in this one he definitely doesn't disappoint.
The final scene had me smiling and thinking, "Yeah! Now this is some classic Holmes..." It was a right and proper way to end such an emotional season!
So if you're thinking of not watching this only because of some nay- Sayers then think again. If you skip this episode you'll only be cheating yourself.
