Uncle Mycroft.  

I think it's about friends- between Mrs.' I own an Aston-Martin' Hudson, and Sherlock's family, who own Musgrave Hall, $ shouldn't be a concern for John.

Maybe Sherlock and Mycroft's parents will become honorary grandparents for Rosie!  It's not hard to guess that Mrs. Hudson already is. =)  That being the case (possibly), maybe they'll help provide for her financially.  What do you think?

 

A lovely solution
 

Love her though we all do, Rosie is just not important to the story. Though she's obviously important to John.

By buying John and Rosie the best child care available anywhere, lol.
 

LOL!  True.  And since she is one of Rosie's godparents, I'm sure that especially now that Mary's dead, she'll take that job seriously.  It's not hard to guess that she'll dote on Rosie! =)

That child is going to be spoiled solidly rotten!

I watched for the second time last night, the 18th, in a theater with all of 8 other Sherlock fans, in the ENTIRE THEATER.  A bit disappointing, that.  But, I met up with a colleague of a friend, who's been a fan since the beginning.  Although we didn't know each other to begin with, love of the show was a great bond, and it was fun to see it again with another fan!

I'm here to say that The Final Problem is now probably my top favorite episode! 

Favorite three are The Sign of Three, TFP, and A Scandal in Belgravia.  Because TFP is the freshest, it's at the top of my re-watch list.  I loved Sherlock's growth through the 4th Series.  My feeling that he was the most normal of his siblings proved true.  I loved that Mycroft was taken down a notch, and is probably more normal now.  Sherlock became generous and compassionate. 

In so many ways TFP is a perfect bookend to SIP...  Lestrade hopes Sherlock will become a good man in the first, and then says that he is a good man, in the last.  Sherlock texting "You know where to find me. SH" in both episodes.  Those are the two that come to mind right now.  There are others, I know. 

I have to say that now I love this entire dark series 4!  Mostly the final episode!

Considering the three children they raised the first time.......

I had mixed feelings.  I liked it for some of its emotional, human moments, but not for its logical flaws and plotholes.  It almost felt like Sherlock was a bit dumbed down this episode, which I suppose they had to do in order to make Eurus seem smarter.  I wasn't thrilled about the "secret sociopathic supervillain sister" arc (actually I roared "Noooooooooooooooo!!" into the air very dramatically upon her reveal).  I don't mind reimaginings as long as they don't stray too far, but I generally really dislike the addition of non-canonical characters, particularly when they are closely involved with a main character.



So, in short, I didn't hate it, but I was annoyed more often than I hoped to be.  If that was the last episode of the whole series, I'll be a little disappointed.  Although I did enjoy having a summation at the very end, in lieu of a cliffhanger.

 

Oh lol. 

Bring back Cabin Fever!
