A "ripped from the headlines" take on the Atari ET landfill? In 2015? Where the main cast acts like smugly baffled, incredulous cranks over the concept of vintage video games being worth money? Oooof.

The scene with Joan and Sherlock playing the game was worth it Also Sherlock being a friend to Alfredo

We have an old police captain and a private detective who is explicitly a weird misanthrope obsessed with the oddest things. Joan and Bell totally get it, it's the others who don't.

The most outrageous unbelievable moment of the current season is still that Sherlock wouldn't know who Peter Gabriel is. HE'S BRITISH, IT'S THE LAW

I find it amusing to go back to S1 and Sherlock being a horndog was such a kind of annoying but persistent character facet, and now they've largely dumped it as far as I can tell.

Maybe we're just supposed to assume he's focusing on his sobriety, and working his way through his lady friends would interfere with that? Also, I'm disappointed that none of the message board users' names was Zero Cool or Crash Override. 10 Beers fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Dec 15, 2015 |

I think they were really trying to drive home that Sherlock and Watson, FOR REAL, were not going to get together (even at the end of the season!!) At this point the characters are well established enough that it would be weird as gently caress if they did.

There was an episode tonight and it was good. Sherlock and Morland teaming up to solve crime. Pretty standard stuff until the ending which was sinister as gently caress.  I really want to know what Morland has planned.

I did think they were making Morland out to be a little too obviously good, needed a switcharoo and then maybe a switch back, or not, who knows! But either way Morland is great.

Holy poo poo that ending. I did not see that coming at all. I don't think I can even begin to guess what "the danger" is that the Interpol agent was referring to. Some crazy poo poo to do with his business maybe?

Morland is easily the most intriguing character on this show since Moriarty. Season 4 is shaping up to be way better than 2 and 3.

I agree, though Seasons 2 and 3 were still both excellent. Season 1 - Holmes and Watson become friends sort of, Moriarty/Irene stuff gets told in a cool and fresh way Season 2 - Mycroft is gross go away Mycroft (no one even remembers this stuff except something about French people) Season 3 - Kitty, a wildcard, joins the team, Sherlock and Watson have to mend their broken trust, Sherlock relapses Season 4 - Dad's in town and he's living up to his three-season-long reputation as one bad motherfucker

The Kitty episodes are really when the show hits its stride. There's some good writing in those.

There's a lot of quality individual episodes, but I think the Kitty first half of Season 3 is the best uninterrupted stretch of the show for sure. Episode last night was good, at first I thought the motivation of the killer was was dumb, but on reflection it seems like the sort of sociopathic pettiness a head exec of an energy conglomerate would engage in.

I think they tend to dump the less complex/"poorer" mysteries on episodes that are more interesting for other reasons (Sherlock's dad).

I've enjoyed every season, and each one has a lot of good individual episodes, but Season 1 is the only one that had a strong arc start to finish with the Sherlock/Joan relationship development and the intrigue with Sherlock's past leading into the Irene/Moriarty reveal. Season 2 had Mycroft who was good in concept, but lacking in execution plus the awkwardness with Joan. Season 3 was like two half-seasons, the Kitty half being very fun, and the relapse half being well-written yet plodding at times. Season 4 doesn't feel like it's wasting any time. Even if they take a few episodes off in the middle, they can call back to Morland at any time and you know it'll be huge.

I miss Kitty What an awesome episode. It really successfully lulled me into a false sense of security in regards to Morland and then turned it around and reminded me just how much John Noble is the master of playing two-faced characters.

They seem to semi-intentionally dump the boring mysteries on the episodes that have something bigger going on.

This reminded me of season 1's abducted child case except with a more dire ending. Sherlock just never wins these sorts of cases.

I liked it. I thought the case would do the usual Act 2 turn onto the different suspects when she visited the apartment and accused the parents, but nope they kept at her and sent her home with a bomb.

The plot is based on the real-life case of Frédéric Bourdin, by the way, whose ears were used to prove he was a nutty French guy and not a Texas teen. e: And he did accuse the family of accepting him because they may or may not have killed the boy he impersonated; David Grann wrote an article about it which can be read in The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, fittingly enough.

Man, that was a really dumb solution. This girl who coincidentally looked similar to the kidnapped girl, just happened to see her, and recognised her, managed to get her alone and steal her hair, and she was a good enough liar with a convincing enough story that she fooled the family, the police, and a psychiatrist?

Maybe she's going to be the replacement for the Moriarty type character since Natalie Dormer isn't coming back to network tv anytime soon.

Since I think this will be a story that will continue at some point, I think it was the mother of the "impostor" who killed the FBI agent 'cause she was banging him - you know, the condoms and poo poo they made a point of explicitly mentioning at the beginning of the episode? Chekhov's gun and all that.
