Oh God yes.

I'm a little bit nervous about her being the "mad sister".  I don't want the reason she does things just to be because she's mentally ill.  I have faith in Moftiss, though - I'm sure there is very much more to be revealed in TFP.

Yes agree,  what will be revealed in TFP will be much more.    Then again,  I keep thinking of
'hiding in plain sight'...       Twins?   Eurus/Elizabeth?   Who?  Wha??    And I also hope they don't
hide behind a 'mentally ill' reason..      Great casting tho--  Sian Brooke's  Ophelia going mad nightly
for three months after making out with Benedict's Hamlet?    There are worse things than to be Sian.
Looking forward to Sunday!

Hi, I am new here, but I need to ask...

...Am I the only one, who thinks, that Sherlock never managed to fight A.J. in the pool, and the second half (even a bit more, to be precise) of the episode happens in his mind, when he is drowning? 
IMO - that's why in the beginning and in the end of the episode we see water, and that's why in the beginning "meet Death in Samarra" story is told - initially Sherlock believes, that he just avoided certain death, and he is wrong: death awaits him in UK. That's also why some moment episode becomes someway surrealistic - it is not reality, but the delusion, like in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce.
My only doubt is because similarity between this story, and TAB - delusional Sherlock, again?
But except this, everything seems to fit perfectly together...

 
Love this!  Could be! 😃

Hi all, it's been awhile!

I have really enjoyed reading everyone's well thought-out comments!   I agree that many things are unsettling about this episode.   But overall, I am thrilled that there is new Sherlock to talk about.

Although the 'feel' of this episode is dreamlike and a bit off,. I did enjoy it.

Mary had to leave the story.   I forgive the writers for including her so much up to now-- mainly because the focus on the core of the stories *the incredible John/Sherlock iconic friendship*  is now ready to return, I hope.     Someone mentioned the many scenes not shown are also important-- unfortunately for us, John/Sherlock scenes were back-burnered this episode.  I do hope that's temporary, and that the contrast/current estrangement will re-ignite future chemistry between the two.

John is a mess right now, in his character arc.  Except his hair, which is fabulous. ( Note that during his amazing grief-wail his hair was featured front and center?.).  Sherlock is the target of his sad/madness right now, and I really hope/expect his anger subsides.  We all want the boys back.   But I guess they are no

Winner?

John:  "Smells nice,  but I do wish you'd try the "Claire de la Sherlock" I got you.."

Bride:  "I don't care if you are Sherlock's brother.  Step away from my wedding cake."

Holmes:  "Watson, cheer up!   We're in a first class  compartment on the Orient Express,
                 there's been an excellent murder,  and we've got  that annoying Poirot locked up in the loo.
                 The game's afoot!"

 

Mary:   Dear lord, what is that?

Sherlock:   Do put your clothes back on, Mrs. Hudson.

Lestrade:  "When you said you needed help in the trenches on this one, I didn't think you meant it literally."
