Is this the last of Kitty Kat? Jeez, I hope so! Not only is
she ruining the show but they are ruining the character
of Sherlock Holmes by twisting him around to cater to
some fake romance. This is NOT "Sherlock Holmes"!
If they are going to totally gut the character then stop
pretending he's "SH" and call him something else.
Seriously? Sherlock Holmes sniveling over some
second-tier babe? No way!

They better get this show back to the core -- Holmes,
Watson (and why can't she go back to being a doctor,
again?), and Gregson (stop wasting the wonderful
Aidan Quinn!) -- or it won't be around much longer.

I agree with all of this -- especially "this isn't Sherlock Holmes" and MORE GREGSON -- but I'm not sure Sherlock was supposed to be crying over his loss of Kitty. I thought it was more general loss and emptiness and the unsatisfactory nature of his addiction resistance.

I'm happy to see the end of Kitty, too. The actress was all right, and it was good to see another woman on the show, but I'd have preferred a role that didn't displace Joan.

Yes! Joan was just starting to really gel as a character --
and then they bring some generic "babe" in. I was afraid
meant they were going to get rid of Lucy Lui, who is one
of the saving graces of the show.

MORE AIDAN QUINN! Please!

I was thrilled to see Kitty gone at the end of the episode. But  for the  love of everythingwhy did she have to tell Sherlock that she  loved him? And in what context? Also why did the writers suddenly decide to have Sherlock throw away  that baggie of heroine during that flashback when we could've seen it during the first episode of the season?

I hated that Rob Delaney gave an interview saying he
brought in Kitty so Holmes and Watson wouldn't hook
up! Are they kidding me? A man and a woman HAVE
to hook up? Like, it's required?

I fear the people running this show do not have a clue.

too many flashbacks ruined the momentum of the episode. the flashbacks shed light on kitty's character but that should really have been done a long time ago. anyway an intense but choppy episode. apparently this is the last of the annoying kitty, horray.
did they ever discover that the phone had been bugged?
