Sherlock 3.02 The Sign of Three

Sherlock 3.02 The Sign of Three
It sucks that this TV show is going to leave me in a couple of days. Totally well made with the scenario of having mini-movies all in one.

I can't possibly be the only person who noticed Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas from the Harry Potter series) on screen! His letter to Sherlock was a big cry for help. Men don't say they are in need of help because of their pride, kind of like Sherlock! I'm glad his story wasn't wasted and it was actually the backdrop to the remainder of the episode.

Learning a little bit about John's past really shows he is an all around reserved guy. He has a small tight group of friends and stays in touch with those who impacted his life one way or another. Bringing a previous friend from the military was suitable, especially for his wedding.

The entire story was so intricate and I liked that it overlapped all of the small stories together. I'm also happy there's a baby Watson on it's way! I don't think it will be around until the next season, but I am glad there is now a new addition!

Sherlock 3.01 The Empty Hearse
I am so happy with this comeback! New Year's day was amazing with the classy return of Sherlock Holmes in the suave fashion he knows how to do it.

I find the storyline well fitting and appropriate with the long hiatus it experienced. Of course, it had to happen with the situation of Matting Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch filming The Hobbit and Star Trek. I also appreciate the writers keeping the realistic timeline of two years passing by.

I didn't think Mycroft would be the other one knowing Sherlock's mission. I thought they'd stick to Molly as the sole person to help Sherlock fake his death, but he needed to cover way more ground than anticipated. Sherlock tied up loose ends with Moriarty's underground people, which took him and Mycroft two years to infiltrate.

Once he returned, John's reaction was so natural. Usually when people are in shock, it's more dramatic for them to be silent as opposed to behaving on a high note. His reaction in the restaurant was spot on to put Sherlock at a loss for words. It was the right kind of response to the perfect situation. At the end of Sherlock's concluding remarks, the humour John brought with taking him out just did it for me!

Introducing Mary right now is perfectly planned. Sherlock has been absent for years, so John moves on with his personal life away from solving crimes. He does exactly that and Sherlock is back in the picture. Suddenly, Sherlock is feeling left out with all the time he lost from his life on Baker Street. It's a big change in pace and adds mor on the surface with Sherlock's emotions.

The different scenes of how Sherlock survived the jump kept the episode fresh. Anderson became a fanboy and I don't trust him. He's become deranged and obsessive, could turn lethal.

Who is the guy at the end of the episode?! Is he the reason why John was thrown into that bonfire? I fear it may be Philip Anderson, but the guy had wrinkles around his eyes. It will more than likely be somebody we revisit by the third episode =).
