But isn't it funny? The differences between TEH and TSOT? Doesn't it seem that Sherlock extremely is out of character in both episodes? Well... I am satisfied with ep. 1, could cope with this "problems" easily... but about ep. 2 I am enthusiastic.

The Daily Fail found some more "moments" they disliked:

Right. I didn't like every little moment either. Or, let's say, I was a bit "worried".
But this is way over the top!! (But I guess they just have to be like that. )
And: What do they want? "Sherlock was too rude"  "Sherlock was too soppy".... ???

yep. agree. I think of another point of view: when I first saw this show (it was S2, but that´s not so important), I was completely overwhelmed, shocked, ..well, sherlocked immediately. during the years we´ve built so many personal passions, theories, feelings. and now we got it - and maybe is not completely similar to our previous dreams. I just want to say I need some time to think about it.

true. they should be suprised when he is nice.

Read the article too this morning and was very annoyed . Then I chose to ignore it, most of the other critics I read so far were throughout positive.

I do have some (minor) points, I was not quite satisfied with which I could mention here:

- The beginning with Lestrade calling full forces to Baker Street was a bit exaggerated (although Lestrade was so funny in these scenes).
- Mike Stamford and Harry weren't at the wedding . Mike is such a prominent person in John's blog and Sherlock suggested him as best man, I find it odd, that he wasn't there (well, maybe the actor wasn't available). And I had hoped to getting to know Harry! I was a bit disappointed that she wasn't there.
- The role of Janine, the bridesmaid was a bit, I don't know, boring, useless? I mean, the bridesmaid and best man should be on the same level, shouldn't they? So this Janine is supposed to be Mary's best friend. But there were not even a scene between them and we didn't get to know anything about her.
- I would have prefered the stag-night/drunk-scenes without Sherlock vomitting, found that very embarrassing.
- Between TEH and TSoT must been about 6 month time difference (TEH was in November and Mary mentioned their wedding would be in May). It would have been nice to see a bit, how the boys grew back together in this time and how Sherlock readjusts into life. At the end of TEH there was still a slight tention between them and now it was so much more cheerful.

That's all. As I said, minor points. Especially the last one would likely have needed a whole episode at it's own. That's the disadvantage of making only three episodes of a series. You need to left a lot out. Well, good playground for fan fiction .

yeah, I was looking for meeting Harry, too!

The author of the article has some points, but this just irritated me a lot:

"As for the way Sherlock talked to Mrs Hudson ('Biscuits!' he ordered charmlessly) and Mary’s ex-boyfriend, he has started to just look thoroughly unpleasant."

Uh, what's new...? Come on, that's Sherlock! He orders people around, most of the time he's not very charming and very often he indeed is very unpleasant. Where has the author been during series 1 and 2? On the moon?
 

Living under a stone, perhaps. 

Regarding Harriet, I would have loved to see her too but I'm not too disappointed. Kind of hilarious that she's a person everyone knows about yet no one has actually seen her.
