A watchable episode, but I'll have to break away from the pack to say that it wasn't really that good. My opinion stems from Moriarty's portrayal as a femmy man with impulse control issues and a mood imbalance. Say what you will about Andrew Scott's ability to play the part, but the issue remains--this version of the character does not strike me as a criminal mastermind, nor even a man who could execute a successful gas station stick up.

Another near-perfect episode of Sherlock that had me completely glued to the screen from beginning to end. Top-notch television.

What a terrible finale to the second season of 'Sherlock'. A whole episode stuck with Moriarty - played by the retarded little brother of Giovanni Ribisi - is bad enough, but the plot is preposterous from the get-go. The harder it tries to be clever, the dumber the story gets. The climax was infuriating, and I dare say a copout on par with when Ford pardoned Nixon.

These cliffhangers will be the death of me. Highlights include the opening sequence, Andrew Scott's magnificent performance (he's an actor playing a villain playing an actor playing a villain), and the amount of emotion Sherlock is able to show.

Far from being the best in the series, even though it is hailed as the best. Not really keen on the goofy Moriartiy guy. Also, the plot feels too 'made', in an overly clever way.
