Sure, I might have niggling feelings regarding interpretation, but I’d have to say, this one ranks up with A Study in Pink.
I was lucky enough to see the third film in the Lord of The Rings Trilogy 2 weeks before it was released to the public, I’m a longtime Tolkien lover, so it took me a few days to adjust to how events at Cirith Ungol were changed, (let’s say shellshocked) that never stopped me from loving the film.
As a fan who writes and creates art, and loves S and J, I feel that Moffat, who knows his audience, gave us plenty to play with, stuff that’s Sherlock and John, if that’s your thing, stuff that’s Sherlock and Irene, or Sherlock as asexual. To me the episode was about Sherlock becoming more human, all of his interactions with people have changed. (and who’s influence might that be? Looking at you Mr. name your babies after me) I was excited to see plenty of backstory with Sherlock and Mycroft.
Having seen the episode three times, I’m becoming accustomed to Moffat’s interpretation, and I’ve even come to like the ending, because it’s more about Sherlock’s capacity for forgiveness - because canon Sherlock Holmes allowed people who had strayed a chance for redemption.
Best thing? I’m getting people into the show with this episode, and people are now reading the books to see what canon Irene is like, it’s all fine. (and thats me two cents)
