I'll whitefont it because it's about the ending. bonny, when Sherlock said "You're wasted as a cabbie" I snapped at the TV, "He's done the knowledge. He's brainier than you." (My Girl is a Knowledge Girl.)
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Seska, I am in awe of the Knowledge and, therefore, of your girl.
This week's Sherlock was too predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway.
Loving Mrs. Hudson.

I sort of enjoyed it, but didn't like the way they were careless with Sherlock's character. He wasn't really a high-functioning sociopath this time, he was much more house-tamed. Last week, he comments ineptly on morgue-girl's lipstick without a clue that it might have been applied for him. This week, he is not only aware that she has a crush on him, he uses that knowledge to manipulate her into giving him something he wants. He adeptly imitates people and is mostly sensitive to Watson's beginning romance. I liked last week's Sherlock better. I'm putting it down to sloppy writing (not Moffat or Gatiss).
And I feel safer whitefonting.

Yeah, I agree that this week's wasn't as well-written. Also, not the most culturally sensitive episode ever.

Dana, no kidding! I've seen much worse, but that aspect wasn't good.
And Fiona, I totally and completely agree about the shift in Sherlock's personality. Last week, he was delightfully cringe-worthy. This week, his asking for a pen just seemed jerky, rather than quirky .
I do like Watson being less hang-dog though and the addition of the potential love interest was welcome. She's as smart as the fellows and a quite good foil.

Dana, I attributed that aspect to being a leftover from the original stories. It was all a bit Victorian.

Sure, and I think that was especially obvious with the fight scene at the very beginning. But if I had my choice of what they were going to take from the original stories, it wouldn't be that part.

Steven Moffat writes in the Guardian about his favourite Moriartys (or should that be Moriarties?):
Non-spoilery.
Also, an article about the updated Sherlock in general here:
They're certainly building it up....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm going to be travelling later this month. I'll be in:
Amsterdam from 21 August to 24 August,
Oslo from 25 August to 27 August, and
London from 28 August to 02 September
...and I'm thinking seriously about taking the train from London to Paris for a day-trip, probably on the 31st.
Anyone in the area interested in meeting F2F?
