Not going to lie - this episode genuinely scared me a bit. That guy was one of the creepiest characters I've ever seen on the show. He reminded me of Adam in 1x03 a bit.

Not much plot wise, plus it looks like we have to wait two weeks for the next one... but definitely scary. Also we got to see a bit of darker Sherlock, so I'm not complaining.

Well the case kinda hung together, they used Gregson more, to my great joy, (great speach!), great white shirt, and HE'S MAKING A FUCKING DIORAMA!!!!

Fella was seriously creepy.

And there was definitely some serious tension between Sherlock and Joan. Shit's gonna hit the fan before long. *nods*

This episode was lovely! So much conflict! Conflict between Sherlock and Joan, Sherlock and Gregson, Gregson and his team... what a delight. The case was actually exciting, hurray. Strong episode. I really hope they continue in this fashion.

I hope this will be the beginning of a bigger arc with more morally questionable behaviour from Sherlock and Joan trying to be the voice of reason or maybe even Sherlock dragging her down with him or even a role reversal. Oh, the potential of this turning from good vs. evil into lighter grey vs. darker grey. :D

I enjoy fluffy, heartwarming interactions between Sherlock and Joan etc. as much as everyone else, but too much of it would be the kiss of death for this show. Well, at least for me.

Also the fondant bomb was awesome. I liked that!

I liked it but frankly I think Sherlock was over the top in being intentionally obtuse about the benefits of being nice. He clearly knows how to interact with people and knows what is and isn't appropriate behavior. Joan was making perfectly valid points about how he was making things more difficult and his finding someone extraordinary is supremely arrogant on his part.

The case was interesting and sufficently creepy but I will call some BS on Sherlock and Watson not questioning where the lair was upstate. Lukas lives in NYC and his lair is in Onondaga County.... its a six hour drive to Syracuse from NYC. There's no way he could tend a captured woman with that commute.
