I'm one of the last to get here and I am certaily not reading the whole thread.
But here are my thoughts:

Negatives

Did not want to see the Woman.

Missed Anderson.

- I should say that I am tee total and have massive issues with alcohol.  I have grave concerns over binge drinking and I strongly object to any glamourisation, promotion,  laughing at or in anyway condoning drunken behaviour.  So I did have problems with the Stag night(and I consider the whole premise of stag nights to be vile in the extreme)....having said that:

Positives

The Stag night was hilarious and I thought handled quite well.

I wanted to stand and cheer as Sherlock opened his mouth and expressed exactly my own views about marriage, which I consider to be a largely pointless institution.

I wanted to kiss Sherlock when he expressed his atheism!

The surprise baby is nice(tho dunno what's gonna happen here)

Sherlock composing for the couple was lovely.

Molly wanting to go after Sherlock at the end was nice, tho she knew he needed to be alone.

I loved the opening, thought it was hilariousI
Oh and nice to have Sally back, plus she seems to have learned her lesson.

Mrs Hudson was cool, though:

Loved Sherlock's reaction to people talking about sex.

Loved Sherlock dancing.

Thought the spelling out of Sherlock's and John's roles was fab.

I love this new: 'that was a surprise deduction' thing.

Love the development in relationship between John and Sherlock.

Love that the soldiers survived!

Loved Archie and Sherlock's relationship with him.

Loved the court scene

Loved all of Mycroft.

Loved the fact that Sherlock reached out to John to help him

Loved Sherlock looking at John's chair I nearly cried)

Loved the fact John had to get away from the stupid wedding arrangements.

Generally:
I prefererd this episdode and found it much more accessible than the 1st.
I laughed nearly all the way through and kept missing lines because of laughing!



 

I regard it as a tribute to Sherlock and John´s friendship as well....anyway - did the girl with the ghost come in the middle of night? strange, huh?

I don't think so. When Mrs Hudson finds them on the stairs she remarks that they came home early. And Lestrade says they did not even make it until closing time. We do not know how long they have been playing in the flat but I suppose she did not come so very late. 

I did like that they confirmed that he was a graduate chemist. That takes the total of cool famous chemistry graduates to probably one.

Sherlock asking Mrs. Hudson what time it was and I heard two o´clock? but maybe I heard it wrong
 

No, she said it had been 2 hours. I assume it's 2 hours since they left.

yes they had gone out 2 hours earlier. And I am thinking that must have been quite early - maybe 6pm? so they got back around 8pm... lol!

But they were still drinking while playing that game. No wonder Sherlock was sick XD

Were they?? Oh I missed that - but it does explain how they were getting worse, not better.  LOL

Sherlock's got a glass in his hand, and there's one on the table next to John. Looks like it could be whiskey XD
