I'm pretty calm now and can even type normally (sorry mistakes happen) and have a bit of free time. So, let's begin.
I've had the weirdest feeling ever watching third season, because every time I thought nothing can be better than aired episode, I got a new one, which was even more amazing. So here we are - His Last Vow
Okay, let's make it clear - not all of you probably liked the entire season as I did, but I still think that the storyline we get can't be ideal for all of us. It's the show, not your flawless fanfiction. And finding fault in everything you are maybe not really satisfied with is just as pointless as the review I'm trying to write right now. (not even sure somebody reads it)
And after all, the episode was amazing (I should probably stop using this word everywhere)
I read a lot of theories and spoilerfree spoilers and so on, so I expected something particular, but again, all I waited to happen didn't happen. There were a bunch of convinced opinions uncluding Mary's death and I really... believed them??? I don't know.
I knew it was gonna be sad. Sad means death nine times out of ten. And the fact Mary is pregnant and all the canon plot - long story short - I buried her already.
But I was so freaking wrong oh my god. No one actually died (CAM doesn't count) But it was VERY dramatic. I have never ever ever cried over films or tv series...Not this time. Sherlock the show has a lot of details that can't be seen at first sight, but when you notice them - it hurts.
So what was especially sad is the situation with Sherlock-John relationship. The cast is amazi...(agh I promised not to use this word) but still, the cast is indeed amazing. The chemistry between Ben and Martin is just....stunning. And they showed the actual problem so naturally. I know a lot of people who blame John for his indifference, not being able to notice Sherlock's attempts to make him happy and so on. But imagine yourself. You lost your best friend. Well, your best friend commited suicide just in front of you. And basically this best friend was everything to you recently. You fortunately found a woman, a right person for you, who loves you, and you love her. You almost left your dead best friend in the past when he suddenly comes back. Woah. John didn't know what to do, you see? He is not careless, he looks confused and lost. Then woah, his wife turns out to be an assasin who murdered lots of people.
Of course you would be confused. So John cares about Sherlock. He cares about Mary too but isn't it hard to figure out what to do in this kind of situation?
Again - last scene, when he and Sherlock stand in front each other. They both don't know what to say, because it's not that easy to go on with your life and pretend like nothing bad happend. And they surely have their own sort of "language", where obvious declarations of love aren't included. I hope you understand what I just wrote.
Sherlock. And here I mean the person, not the show. It is the show about him as a person, not just a collection of interesting detective stories. Do you want them? Go to John's blog - it's relatively real. But back to Sherlock again. He hasn't changed. I don't think people can change. And he also said that. We always knew him as a machine - emotionless freak, but it doesn't mean he IS emotionless. I think having flashbacks with Redbeard is also very important here, because they show Sherlock in a way we didn't know him. Not even sure if I like the parallels in this show (because mostly it hurts as fuck) but still, the dog was something he probably was very related to. Not maybe like to John, but Mycroft pointed out the story repeats again and it seems like he's really losing John, though trying to make his life better. No need to say how much he's in love with him.
I kinda miss John too. I know he had bad days. Like really bad days, but I wish there were more John's POVs like in first two seasons.
Umm... if you're still reading this, what are your thoughts about it?
quick edit: Camera work was incredible. The plot was incredible. New characters were incredible. So much canon and plot twists at the same time. All I can say is probably just a set of inarticulate exclamations, which will hardly look like a review. So it's probably just a comment, just my opinion on the last series, and in principle all season. Difficult to write something when you're satisfied with all you watched.
p.s. thanks for reading and commenting - I truly appreciate it:3
