Carefully asking... is there anyone like me who didn't like it much? Because... I didn't.

Same here. It just didn't feel right at all and I'm very disappointed about many things. I just don't want to be this sister they suddenly brought up to be behind it all because it makes everything that happened in the genius first two seasons pointless for me and I hate that. It's a bit like in 'Spectre', where someone suddenly popped up to say: 'Hey, know what, all that happened to you recently: It was all me' without any sign that it might be so.
It all seemed very forced and very non-sherlock, I may have to watch it all again, but my first feelings after it ended are anger and disappointment.
 

This thread has more posts than the original, so probably easiest if we just move our posts over here (sorry, I can't merge the threads!).

I'd posted:
Wow!  I loved it!  And now I see what they mean about it feeling like the end of an era, and the story they've been telling all along.   Funnily enough, it was quite different to everything that has gone before and yet tied up the loose ends, and completed the story. 

I'm confused. Not confused as in I don't understand the episode but confused as it was weird and I'm not sure how I feel about it. 

There were some moments I liked but overall...

This was the most disturbing psychological horror I ever watched (not exactly the genre I enjoy).
But I am overjoyed that the main characters all survived. 
Also I loved the ambiguous and sweet ending.

The only thing that bothered me were ridiculous powers of Euros. They were so over the top they were more funny than scary, TBH.

But overall, an OK episode.

You are not alone with that... It feels very strange atm... Cant breathe

But as a Mycroft fan I was happy about his screentime.

Sian Brooke was really great, but that role so annoying I was rolling my eyes a lot. 

Mystream broke several times, so I have to watch it again. But it won't be like after series 3 where I immediately preordered the DVD. 

I think my main criticism is that it didn't felt like my show anymore that I loved.

I have to give it time I guess.

As I posted my topic it was the first one, sorry for the caused problem^^

So John still has his ring what, one, one and a half years later?

I think it has always been a kind of fantasy, and that was more apparent in this episode than any other. 

I loved Sherlock going to the effort of scaring Mycroft!  Also that his umbrella became a swordstick - I'm sure I remember Moftiss talking about wanting to do that - insane wish fulfilment!  And then it became a gun!   But it was the lengths that Sherlock would go to to annoy and scare his brother that amused me, although he had reason. 

Except from Mary's speech at the end (which I couldn't see bc my stream broke up) it was such an emotional rollercoaster. I love how Mycroft and Sherlock became more human about the time till now. Euros at the end and Parentlock were just so bottom keeping after that stress in Sherrinford, I really needed that break. The epilog was okay, I don't really like endings.

I totally loved and enjoyed it, but I think my neighbours didn't because I screamed and swored the whole time. Hihi.
