I guess it makes sense if it's considered from the point of view that everything is happening in Sherlock's brain and in dreams people don't always realize details in a dream state, but it would have been much better at least in my opinion, if they hadn't tried so hard to shoehorn it into the modern series three quarters of the way through, especially with the periods of 'waking up'.
>>
>>64501160

this

shoulda left it standalone, it would have served the story better

but they wanted a way to try to develop the plot a little for the next season

which should be here in a year or two depending on when dr strange finishes filming

I personally think this is the beginning of the end of that show, every episode from now on is going to have yo have some social commentary that aligns with social justice....They just broke that wall, so there can only be more of it in the future.

Next ep
>Sherlock goes to dreamworld again, and investigates a murder at a cottonfarm during the days of the slavetrade.

How is the fall and the dream are connected? Sherlock needed to wake up through the fall?
>>
>>64500992
There were only three episodes in season 2 and s2e3 The Reichenbach Fall is objectively the peak of the show
It divebombed super hard in S3 by not even bothering to explain how sherlock survived ("what's the point, you'll just be disappointed anyway :^)") and way WAY too much tumblr fanbase pandering

The special was an improvement but it still had a bit too much of an agenda and relied too much on special effects with the doctor who tier fake waterfall and moriarty's CGI blown out head, the show has always been at its best when it doesn't need to rely on scene compositing special effects (those visual things to show text messages are fine, not a CGI wolf)

>The moral of the story is that it's okay to kill men if they lie to a woman

I don't think there was a moral to the story. It was an excuse to do Victorian-era with a fig-leaf of investigating whether Moriarty could have faked his death and a pro-feminist message tacked on somewhat clumsily. The actual confrontation is a bit of Holmes's speechifying and then Moriarty shows up again.

If you read the original stories, Holmes lets a couple of murderers go free - including a woman who'd been blackmailed by Milverton and winds up shooting him in the face.
>>

I'd completely forgotten that she was even in the show when she showed up, then the horrors of season 3 all came flooding back to me.

>>64503279
Pretty much how I felt. Sherlock having his mind palace and being able to simulate "experiments" there is a very neat idea. Dream within a dream got really fucking tired though, however since he OD'ed, I can sort of accept it.

I might have become a fanboy and now try to defend shit writing by poor reasoning. Oh well, we won't have new episodes until next year anyway.

>After researching the FBI numbers for "Suicide of a Superpower," this writer concluded: "An analysis of 'single offender victimization figures' from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study."

>Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.

>>
>>64502889
>How is the fall and the dream are connected? Sherlock needed to wake up through the fall?

I don't think it was a connection as such, just a sort of cheeky callback to the handwaving of how exactly he survived the fall from the roof. They never actually said, so here, they have Holmes make a little reference to "knowing how to do this" without specifying what he's doing. It was a mythology gag, sort of.

I remember this one story, a true story, about an elderly woman who was walking to the store. A ruffian, some youth ran up to her and "hit" her in the back. She kind of fell over than got back up. He ran off and she thought nothing of it. She walked to the store and her shoulder was hurting her something fierce, but she just walked on, and into the store and around for a while. THEN THE CLERK RAN UP AND SAID OH SHIT ARE YOU OKAY FUCK FUCK FUCK CALL AN AMBERLAMPS

There was a knife sticking out of her neck.

People don't even notice being shot though.
In fact, the only reason people fall down and shit when you shoot them anywhere but in the head region is because they think they're supposed to.
Getting stabbed and shot is so abrupt and intense that your body doesn't even know how to process it at first and by the time it does, shock will likely have put all of that on the backburner anyway.

I'm pretty sure they are just insanely self-aware of the tumblr-fandom. It was pretty apparent in s3e1 when they shot that made-up kissing scene on the rooftop. I guess they just think the show is more popular with women than men.

I have to point out that it's insanely out of character for Sherlock Holmes to let MURDER slide for a greater political cause. He doesn't give a shit about social or political inequalities. In the last 3 seasons he was oblivious to them because they were pointless for his investigations.

Do a quick google search. The episode was apparently criticised for comparing feminists to KKK. If that's what he attempted to do, he failed.

my point is that Sherlock's deductive reasoning would have told him that literally murdering men to further the feminist cause is absolutely fucking retarded. He's a guy who trusts almost no one with their power due to the vast majority of people being dumber than him. Why the fuck would he trust a bunch of housewives to selectively kill men for their social cause?

The only reason I'm not really mad about them is that Sherlock at the end says that none of it makes sense and Moriarty tells him its because he made it all up. Sherlock himself acknowledged how stupid the entire scenario was. Which made the whole thing worse in another way because it was like we were robbed a real mystery. Nothing makes sense and it was hand waved with lolitsadream so that the last half hour could be nonsensical meta-humor.

i'll give it a look, i like capaldi but only watched the Who episodes that was essentially about him telling fangirls and tumblr to accept him as an old man
>>
>>64506468

That one's not the best representation of his character, but first episodes of a new doctor usually aren't. They instantly ditched the 'accept the old man' after his first episode and he went straight into fitting the role perfectly. The basic Capaldi essentials are Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline and Heaven Sent. S8 particularly (and S9 also to an extent) has much more of an ongoing character story than previous serieses, the adventures are still all separate but it's basically a character drama where you see how the doctor and clara both change over the course of the series. It's easy enough to pick up what has happened in episodes prior to that point, but keep that in mind in case a couple things don't make perfect sense
>>
>>64506539
oh sure, i'll watch with that in mind.

I saw a lot of Tennant (and all of the guy before) and some of BigFace's but Clara I know almost nothing about so I'll be watching it minding the gap
>>

Sherlock: The Adorable Bride
>>
>>64506629

For what it's worth clara never had much of a character or personality before S8. I'm the type that'd recommend just watching capaldi's era straight through without skipping episodes, I don't know if you have that sort of time though.
>>
>>64506629

Not him, but I never watched it all and started just for Capaldi. A lot of it is awful shite, some bits are fun, almost exclusively Capaldi. If you can put up with a lot of naff shit (and you're in a Sherlock thread so I expect you can) and a lot of jaw-droppingly unearned Big Emotional Moments, then there's about enough in there to keep you going.

And the second last episode of the most recent season really is top-notch, easily the best of the two seasons, a whole other level.

Sure sounds like rape to me. I'm not defending the Feminist-KKK subplot. It was cringeworthy and felt tacked-on. But the women certainly had a legitimate motive to kill those men.
