Brilliant metas - The Addendum series
There is a series of metas on tumblr, written by acafanmom. IMO they are some of the best metas there are. Acafanmom is teaching cinematography (I've I understood that correctly) and analyses the three episodes of S3 in great detail. And lovely Light was right, they are too interesting to get lost in the comprehensive Johnlock guide.
I don't agree with all of her ideas, but what I love is that she never just states something. She always presents (lovely) pictures from the episode and explains how she comes to her conclusions. I think that she is very neutral about Mary and Johnlock, so you can also enjoy her analysis if you like Mary and are an advocate of bromance.
Here are the links:

Re: Brilliant metas - The Addendum series
Thank you Schmiezi!
I really like these metas, are very well worded, very well thought. I do not agree either with everything (i think i see Mary a little bit more of villain), but they are GREAT! They gave me also some other POV, made me rethink some of my impressions. Such a pity there are only for the third season....
I read them too quickly, in the next days i will take at a slowly pace each episode and put my thoughts about it.

I need to do that as well, lovely. Read it all in one go and need to go through it with a little more patience.

Re: Brilliant metas - The Addendum series
Thank you for posting those links - they were a great read.
I'm not good with tumblr - I get the impression that the links you posted go only to the first part of each of the analyses, but I can't find the continuations... feeling really stupid here, but help would be much appreciated.

At the bottom of the post, above the comments, there's a link to "next post" (I struggle with tumblr too).

Re: Brilliant metas - The Addendum series
It was the first thing I have learnt after I joined the fandom - never to trust Moffat and Gatiss. All in all they were guys who have directed some fake scenes (for example with Mycroft and Moriarty) just to confuse fans. I think I will never trust them, even if the say that grass is green and sky is blue.
