No matter how you may feel about the episode or this season in general, "TFP" was a Mycroft lovers dream. I've always felt so much sympathy for him- all the immense responsibility he took on in his life. Keep Britain safe & secure, keeps his junkie brother from killing himself, keeps his mondo psycho sister locked up for everyone's sake, keeps the fact she's still alive from his parents to spare them more grief. All this with no thanks or gratitude from anyone, so why do it at all? Someone with no heart or emotions would never go through that kind of monumental effort. The range & depth of emotions he showed in "TFP" was amazing. Mark Gatiss is freeking brilliant & deserves some recognition for this episode alone. A BAFTA would be appropriate, methinks!

Just finished watching"TFP". My brain is a puddle of melted butter. If this is the end of "Sherlock", it really went out with a bang. I'm still processing what I just saw. Holy maloney.

Good gravy, Sunday has to come quickly. This whole sister thing has distracted me all week!

I'm still of the opinion that "Sherrinford" is a place. Maybe where this possibly utterly criminally insane sister has been institutionalized? Maybe she was even the power behind Moriarty? I only know my head nearly exploded from all that went on in that episode!

Random thought whilst at my boring job at the moment- what if Sherrinford isn't a person's name but a place. Maybe it's that hospital they've been showing snippets of in the previews. Maybe somebody is there.....due to something Sherlock did? Does that grand house on fire also in the previews play into that? Or I may need a more interesting line of work to keep my mind occupied!  LOL

Thanks, Vhanja!  I think I got kind of stuck on that image, but it made no sense that Sherlock would just calmly return to the place where he'd recently blew a man's brains out unless there was some huge significance. I've only had the chance to see the episode once so far (damn job anyway....LOL), definitely need another viewing! I did love him & Mycroft tussling for his phone in the beginning. No matter how brilliant they both are, deep down they're just 2 bratty brothers with each other.
