I agree with many of the things you said. It's as if they're opening up more and more plot possibilities, but without really using them to their full (or even half full) potential. I'm really missing a consistent bigger plot arc in this season.
The first season was an introduction of the partnership and a giant lead up to Moriarty (as expected), but I'm unsure where the overall plot is going now. At first, I thought it would be Mycroft and Sherlock, then Sherlock going darker (and the resulting conflict with Joan and others), then the resolution of the Moriarty arc... and now with this filler episode I'm pretty clueless. I mean, I wouldn't mind so much, if it was episode 4, but I expected a bit more this far into the season.
