2 years is a very long time to wait for a new season, and when it finally arrived it just didn't live up to expectations. And it's already over again. My goodness. That was a quickie wasn't it?

I knew the seasons were short, but for some reason I didn't think it would be this short. I guess I had just forgotten. I think even if we had one more episode to sort of flesh things out, it would have made the entire season immeasurably better. A lot of time was spent trying to re-establish the Sherlock/Watson relationship, and then also introduce and establish the Watson/Mary and Mary/Sherlock dynamics and by then we're halfway done with the season and we've barely been introduced to the big bad!

Anyone else feel like they were trying to make this season a lot funnier? Like waaaay funnier. I cracked up so many times. I also thought they softened Sherlock's character a TON, maybe a little bit too much even. I'm not sure he can keep calling himself a "high functioning sociopath" anymore he has so many warm and fuzzy feelings. It was a tad bit jarring to be honest. But hey, I love the bromance.

I also didn't think the final episode made much sense. Not in terms of motivations, logic, character development, etc. It seemed like a lot of energy was spent trying to convince the audience that this was all very complicated and deep but in the end not much of it felt like it panned out or had much of an impact.

That being said, it's just so freakin' entertaining to watch Sherlock and Watson do their thing. So much fun. I just want more and more of it.
