it is what it is...?

I watched The Final Problem this morning.

I think it would have been better had it not been an episode of Sherlock.

Or it would have been better as the first episode of the season so we could have normal Sherlock episodes after it.

I have the same problem with Sherlock as I do with Doctor Who (oh gee, what is the common thread here?) -- I'm less interested in their deep dark backstory and just want to watch them doing what they do best. I don't need Sherlock to be in peril or his friends be in peril, I just want to watch him solve a mystery because it was so well done in that first season.

Ah well, at least now I get to go find all of your posts and read them as I have been scrolling past them since Sunday. :)
