Sherlock season 4 - contains spoilers

...
Well worth the Licence Fee mind you.

Nearly worth my licence fee...

Ep 1 + 2 ss4 don't come up with my expectation.
From SS3, I know Mary is a woman with many secrets and she would die before the film ends and now it is.

Spoiler alert: I thought the end of SH was very weak. He caught the murderer by hiding a listening device in a walking stick. Very lame considering some of the lengths SH had gone to previously (like pretending to be dead for 2 years). And I guessed the bit about the other sibling way before the end.

And I agree about Dr Who, that was rubbish. New Doctor needed I think! The preview of the new series looked better though.

Episode 3. Meh. After series 3, I was hoping for more. After series 4, I'm hoping "no more".

Disagree. Thought it was a great episode with the exception of the last 5 minutes which was majorly 'meh' as it was wrapped up so quickly.

And is that 'Sherlock Falls' or 'No More' or both ;-)

The attempt at producing a moral conundrum failed - if you are in a position where someone arbitrarily decides that certain people must die according to your actions, it is that person who is responsible. The only way to not be culpable is to not play the game - which Sherlock managed to figure out after what, 45 minutes?

The shock horror reveal that Redbeard was a child wasn't shocking.

The "with one jump Jack was free" solution to the "patience grenade" was pathetic. The grenade itself was a dumb invention to try to inspire a sense of peril. Furthermore, the scene was filler - it didn't add to the plot in any way that I could see.

Leap out of a first floor window onto a hard road and pavement and you would not survive!

[WTFH]

The explosions, the gadgets (such as the bomb) and the island with it's special cells, it came across a bit like a poor man's James Bond. Although last week's appearance of the Aston made me laugh.

TBH I think it's run its course now even though I somewhat enjoyed the last series, either that or Moffat needs to p!ss off and let someone else have a go.

The shock horror reveal that Redbeard was a child wasn't shocking.

I was shocked at how a five year old got the boy down there, set up a chain for his feet, cuffed his feet and got back out again. I was also shocked at how they knew she had hidden Redbeard somewhere but could not get get to tell them and it was terrible etc. That made sense when it was a dog but for a missing child surely the police would have come in and they would have torn the place apart looking for him?

The "with one jump Jack was free" solution to the "patience grenade" was pathetic. The grenade itself was a dumb invention to try to inspire a sense of peril. Furthermore, the scene was filler - it didn't add to the plot in any way that I could see.

It allowed Mycroft to infiltrate as Holmes as a boat crew member (the pretence was that he was badly injured and could not be contacted). However, the stupid part would have been that if anything had gone even slightly wrong Holmes would have been killed which would utterly negate Euros's long term plan and render everything pointless.

Don't even get me started on her X man style mind control powers :-(

They tried having a villain who was so powerful they could dominate Holmes but it did not quite come off. It was a nice setup. I was even prepared to accept Ep 2 of her but Ep 3 went a little too far for me.
