I'm definitely with you on the let's make Mycroft the tragic hero front. I also hoped for another twist and was disappointed.

Your suspicion about reversing all the important plot points from the final (Joan moving out, Sherlock joining MI6 etc.) is interesting, and I think very likely going to happen. Those would be huge (and yes, idiotic) narrative cop-outs, of course, but I'd certainly be much more willing to keep watching in this case. Because going through with both of these,would ultimately change the nature of the show, and I don't think that's what they're trying to accomplish.

I wouldn't say the season as a whole was a disappointment for me, because I think there were some really strong episodes in the mix. But yes, the finale was a mess, especially compared to the satisfying conclusion of season one.
