I gotta say one thing that really hit me as unrealistic was Dillon only getting shot a couple of times after he shot Bell. If a cop had gotten shot outside an actual NYPD station with a bunch of other cops around, there would have approximately 1200 rounds fired and a couple dozen bystanders going down along with the perp.

johntfs posted:Or Heath Ledger. Or any one of the many, many other people who have destroyed themselves with drugs. Totally, but the whole really long time lapse from when he gained sobriety then suddenly relapsed seemed a relatively close parallel. Since the show is NY based I bet a lot of the cast knew PSH and this may have been a way of dealing with it. Incidentally, the show was filming on my parents' block this week and my mom got to wave hi to Johnny Lee Miller.

VDay posted:Yeah that scene was pretty silly, but was worth it just to have Mycroft finally revealed as more than just a dumb, lazy restaurant owner/chef. I did actually laugh though when he said the trigger line, because it implies that he was mic'ed, but for some weird reason the assault team he was with wouldn't have just shot all the bad guys and saved his life if he hadn't said anything. Luckily they decided to not just shoot him in the face immediately, but that was a real Dumb n Dumber 'But what if he shot you in the head?!' moment. One way you can figure it is that Mycroft is an extremely capable agent who is doing is best to keep his cover as long as he could and probably instructed the assault to hold off until he explicitly gave word, just in case he can still salvage the operation, even if it means he might get shot. He probably has the stature to order that. Also, De Soto was a higher up so they maybe they wanted to make sure he was clear before the actual killing happened for some insulating reason, which caused the delay.

When the the handler said the one thing that would definitely drive Sherlock away from continuing the work, it was clear something was awry.
