Only just realising the significance of "Did you miss me?" to Sherlock.
He literally did miss her from his memory.
Getting to the point that in series 5 I expect another Mary dvd to pop up with,"I still miss you" on it and then in the final episode a final dvd with,"Do you still miss me?" will cap it all off.
That was the best Danganronpa DLC I've ever seen.
I think is too convenient thatEurus just brainwash everyone to make the "game" and doesn't explain the minor detail like what happens to mycroft after the game
still decent game

I think what they should have done, to explain how she got the whole facility under control, was to say that Moriarty basically blackmailed all the guards there (even post-death). Boom easy solution, much more believable than she's "persuasive"
Sherlock finale watched by smallest audience in show's history
It was a tranquilizersorry.. I must have missed it..
What happened with the gunshot @watson on S4E2?
That's not surprising at all. Bar the rather excellent middle episode, this season has been somewhat lacklustre. The whole series took a dive in terms of quality after the second season.
Wait. WTF...

Did some digging on that footage.
Seems like it was after the Behind the Scenes bit. Goddamnit. Probably just Scott having some fun.
B-b-but she's a "genius"there was so many stupid and absurd things in that last episode
- using a drone to deliver a grenade that could have killed everyone
- a secret lair straight out of a James Bond movie
- Eurus taking over the base using her intelligence. The entire base. EVERY FUCKING PERSON.

The problem isn't so much the logistics of one thing, but when you add everything together. It's ridiculously contrived.I mean clearly she had help, either from people she brainwashed or Moriarty people to do most of those things... I means.. do you really needed explained to you?
It's not like she waved her hands and the three brothers appeared over a cliff, nicely tied up for Sherlock.
Yeah, I can't disagree with anything here.I think this was easily the worst episode of the entire series. Not just the season, but the entire Sherlock series of the last years. People much smarter than myself are currently writing on Facebook how "this episode did for Sherlock what the first episode of Sherlock did for television" and I call bull.
Moffat fucked up in a similar fashion before. Remember Jekyll? Well, that followed the Sherlock formula, but went to crap much quicker.
All in all, the inconsistencies and stupid scifi plus Saw-esque puzzles really dragged everything down the drain. And yet it had so much promise. This episode also suffered from the carpet-pulling shittiness of Lucky Number Slevin. You know, how many carpets can the writer pull from under the viewer before things get completely idiotic.
Hah, yeah Euros reminded me of Samara. But that's kind of it though...Surprised at the lack of mention about the Ring here.
Not much to disagree there either.Yeah the ep was mediocre but the series has on a downward slope since Season 3 so I'm not surprised anymore (didn't like S04E02 that much either except the reveal). Was gonna drop it after this season so I'm glad it (sorta) concludes. That Vox criticism about the portrayal of women in the show and that article about how being smart = being able to literally do magic in this show are pretty spot-on.
Also, poor Molly. After saying all that and she didn't even get a single solitary fucking shot with both her and Sherlock in the frame. Just literally stumble into the final montage like a fucking 17th wheel.
P/S: They still manage to cram in another appearance of Mary in this ep ffs.
"Zero Escape with Sherlock" and "superheroes" is exactly why this episode is terrible.Can't hate on Zero Escape with Sherlock and particularly Mycroft as a lead character. Plus I've accepted that these characters are superheroes now.
I didn't even mind Mary that much, but I agree on Moriarty. He's not a good villain. He's just obnoxious and way too mustache-twirling.Though this was yet another case of Moriarty being a cringe. That cannibal line... like straight from a teenage edgelord. Worst character alongside Mary, don't understand the hype at all.

The problem is that they keep upping the ante on exaggerated over-the-top nonsense, and that's why the last episode becomes a self-parody.
She went back to the facility because that was always her plan. Lure the Holmes boys to the island to check and make sure she was still there. Them not knowing the fact that the moment they stepped foot on the island, the whole place was already under her control a long time ago.I would definitely agree with that. I just didn't buy that part. The idea that Eurus is in control of the whole facility because she brainwashed her guards, and has this elaborate setup planned for Sherlock with the TVs, the coffin, the Moriarty recordings.. it was all just too much. Not to mention the fact that she even went BACK TO THE FACILITY in the first place after she took a vacation to become John's therapist? No. She should have led them on some chase that ended back at the Holmes property.
Yes, he didWhy did Sherlock not remember his sister? Did he deliberately block her out of his mind?
The way I took it, with how it was shot with Euros reflection passing into Moriarty, was that she was the mastermind all along.
Essentially planting the idea of Moriarty's great game from The Reichenbach Fall and forward into his mind. Or at the very least manipulate him into it.
Basically all along it's been her setup for Sherlock to find and save her since Season 2.
I just dont like the idea of Jim being manipulated I guess.

Good show overall, but I feel it sadly wasted quite a bit of potential. I'm not sure I'd want another series, especially after we've seen how low the quality can go.
I thought that was an absolutely terrific episode. Gripping throughout, excellent performances and super set design. It was Sherlock meets Arkham.
I really don't understand the criticisms. All this superpower brainwashing stuff is unfounded to me. She didn't have any powers. She was locked away for years without issue and had been cooperating with Mycroft in exchange for gifts - the violin for example. It's only when Moriarty got involved did things mess up. I thought that was clear. It is he who is Sherlock's nemesis and he orchestrated everything.
My guess is Mycroft never a actually had to pull the trigger himself. Sure he might have give orders, but never do it with blood on his hands.Im surprised Mycroft didn't shoot the prison director as he works in and basically runs governments and Intelligence agencies. He should be used to making these kind of calculations all the time. Killing 10 to possibly save 100 would be a no brainer to these agencies, or even killing 100 foreigners to possibly save 10 nationals.
I can't remember where it's from. But there was a show or movie where someone has the ability to tell others what to do, and you compell to do it. Like you have to, like there is something bugging you at the back of your mind. Telling you to do it or it won't leave you alone.She apparently talked one of her psychiatrists into a murder-suicide, I'm not sure how you could pin that on her talking to Moriarty. Although that said...I think that I prefer your explanation to the one they gave in the show.
