I know he was high and she was in a disguise but still...he's supposed to be the world's greatest detective...

I don't know... this episode just showed me that their relationship was doomed from the start. She has one of the greatest minds at disposal (Sherlock) and a very loyal and capable solider as a husband, and yet she again choose to keep them in the dark and do her own thing. 

She would never trust them enough to be what John would've wanted her to be. 

That's really her biggest character flaw is that she's unable to trust people, because of her background.

Thanks everyone, for another great round of fics. Here are my reviews/comments:

Through A Glass, Darkly
I like the way this has so much action in Sherlock's mind palace. The methodical but disjointed way in which it's written perfectly resembles the way I imagine Sherlock thinks.
'there's the rub' - nice reference, made me smile.
Also loved the Great Mouse Detective reference explained in context.
I love the Johnlock AHHH, it warmed my heart.

Of Decisions and Dogs
I like the way it starts in Baker Street and then moves into a case. Reminds me of the way the cases were told in the canon.
Sherlock got a date omg!! I was waiting the whole time for Sherlock "dating" to be all for a case and that really he doesn't care about David at all. I was partially right, but the fact that he was dating David to try and get a reaction from John and make him jealous was better than I could have hoped for! Their first kiss was adorable and sweet, as was their first Christmas as a couple. John's gift to him was perfect, and I'm hoping to read about Sherlock's gift in a slightly more R Rated version of the fic!
Sherlock's relationship with Toby was adorable. Hoping to see some of that on screen in S4 tbh!

The Wealthy Bachelor
This was the one written for me. Sorry for giving you such an awkward prompt, lol. First of all, I really like the title. It's very BBC Sherlock in that it's taken from a canon title but adapted/altered.
John in 'soldier mode' - oh yes!
I like the way things build up slowly, with hints of the different cases.
Good job at modernising the adaptation! I like all the little details that remind me of the canon case.
Nice hints of Johnlock with Sherlock not wanting to remember John's wedding day. And the description of John watching him play the violin was just beautiful.
When John steals the baby is brilliant and his tearful reunion with Sherlock at Baker Street the perfect heartwarming ending that left me with tears in my e

So you mean there is an actual case? Like, with criminals involved? I thought it was just something more personal (help him get over it) and in the end romantic 

I think there will be a very huge case involving Moriarty, Sherrinford, Mary's past and this creepy guy from the trailer. Like the final problem to solve and then all those black lotus guys and Magnussens will stop dropping and there will be no more game like this.

I'm kinda tired and confused and I don't know if what I wrote makes sense so sorry if not ^^

Welcome to the forum - great first post haha!

OK, I know how they traced Mary - they had a tracking device in the stick....but surely that still meant they would be one step behind her at all times. "Oh look, she's gone there, we'll go there too"...so how did they actually manage to get there before her and surprise her?

I'm new here but after this episode I just HAD to find a discussion Forum to talk about it.
I'm not sure if it was the fault of the leaking stream I was watching it on but the episode seemed weird somehow. I'll have to rewatch as I probably have missed some details and there were so many...anyway, mary's death didn't completely convince me, the repitition of the phrase "IF I'm dead..." and the resamblance to Sherlock's fake death...
Then the "visions" Sherlock seemed to be having...
All in all an episode full of suspense but lacking Sherlock and John.
Sorry for my bad englisch, it's even worse after this disturbing episode.

Welcome to the forum! What a time to join us. Hope to see more of your posts here. We have lively and exciting debates and it's a very active place to discuss your favorite TV show!

I'm maybe overly suspicious about bus-stop lady - why is she is targeting John? 

 

I'm suspicious of everyone right now. She's probably an agent of Moriarty. We all know John gets no luck with women. He has worse luck than Molly.
