Thank you!!

You're right. I regained my self-control and saw the chapter one more time but with peace of mind and I could see more clearly that Sherlock was using her. I must be honest, that overjoyed me (sorry for Janine), although she still disgusts me. About Moriarty, I'm anxious to see how they explain it. Oh yes!! when he left the wedding I felt bad for him . I wonder how it will evolve the relationship between Sherlock and John. What will be the role of Mary among them. I was not surprised to know that Molly is no longer going to marry, it was so obvious. It was pretty weird to see her boyfriend dressed as Sherlock... if anyone had any doubts about Molly's feelings toward him, that choice dispelled any doubts. I liked the slaps she gave to Sherlock, she was so angry!

What do you mean by that? Unfocused? Unsure of himself? Somewhat unstable? That would all make sense. When he came back, he was certainly "out of it" and had trouble adjusting to the changes in his little world plus getting over all he had been through. Then at the wedding, he was out of his depths, except for the brief moment when he got to solve a murder. And then came Magnussen and the shock about Mary. Poor Sherlock. It doesn't look like there will be any kind of peace for him soon, but then, he wouldn't want that, would he. He needs strife and peril. Yep unfocused !, oh yes poor Sherlock, he may take some time to adapt to changes

yes, of course

yes, I love Zachary as Spock and Sylar. Alan Rickman for a victorian Sherlock... I like it. But after seeing Benedict do this... I think he is uniquely capable to carry out the character, just like Martin with as Watson.

amazing!! I went to England, to a friend's house because in my country do not typically pass the series...of course, also to visit them and have fun. http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Season-One-Benedict-Cumberbatch/dp/B004132HZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389995449&sr=8-1&keywords=sherlock+bbc http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Season-Two-Benedict-Cumberbatch/dp/B004QOB8SO/ref=pd_bxgy_mov_img_y http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Season-Three-Benedict-Cumberbatch/dp/B00E3UN44W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389995449&sr=8-2&keywords=sherlock+bbc (pre-order)

I'm agree with you t.o.b.y, but I still hate her, she's so cheap and vulgar. Yep the drug theme was brilliant and hilarious. Since the beginning of the season I've noticed a distracted Sherlock, don't you?

You're welcome... although I am not quite sure for what. What made you happy? what you said about Janine

Noble motives seem very unlikely. The thing about Janine is, in the original, the girl was a housemaid. And Watson was not so much shocked at Holmes being (apparently) engaged as at his being engaged to a woman of such low social standing (of course he was even more shocked when he found out his friend was heartlessly taking advantage of the girl and lying to her). Class distinctions not being such an issue anymore today, they had to come up with another way in which Janine seems hugely inappropriate as a mate for Sherlock. I think they did that very well. She's so charmingly vulgar and cheap. Really, really "not in his league". Not classy like Irene or educated and "refined" like Molly, no, a voluptuous, slang-talking, sleazy, "tabloid whore". I really resented her in The Sign of Three, but I have to admit, in His Last Vow, when she came out of his bedroom partly undressed, stomped about the flat and referred to Mycroft as "Mike", I began to really take to her. She is hilarious! And I am so glad she made the best of Sherlock's behavior. So the reason I think he didn't sleep with her is simply that he did not find her attractive. You don't have to be gay for that. I suspect she thought he was gay, though, because of course that explanation would be a lot more flattering to her than the real one... thank you so much. I'm happy now

oh yes! she's really amazing

That's an interesting observation. I don't think "they hurt him" is really the important factor in his being drawn to Irene, Mary and Moriarty - if that were what he likes, he would have felt drawn to Magnussen as well and clearly he hated his guts. I think those three people mostly have in common that they are similar to Sherlock. They are "extraordinary" in a similar way. We know for sure since series 3 what we could guess pretty well before, that he is lonely and feels isolated. The only other "genius sociopath" around used to be his big brother, and there are obvious reasons why that was not very satisfying company. Moriarty looked very promising at first, but then turned out to be a raging lunatic killer and a soul he'd rather not be kindred to. Irene was alluring, but the fact that she deliberately tried to hurt and humiliate him does not seem to have pleased Sherlock at all; it only brought out cruelty on his side (as seen in the "showdown" on the plane). Mary doesn't hurt Sherlock much. Sure, she shoots him, but I don't think he was all too crushed by that, he respected her for what she did. Mary is the first person he meets who belongs in his order of beings without being a villain and / or heartless. She seemed angelic at first, but it turns out she is, like him, only on the side of the angels and fully prepared to "burn" if necessary (especially if necessary for the good of a certain John Watson). No wonder Sherlock really likes her and did not want to think ill of her. As for the affectionate contempt, that certainly sums it up nicely. I think we could include John in that category in series 1, but by His Last Vow he seems to have found a quite exceptional place in Sherlock's little store of friends: the only person who is fully respected by him for being something very different from himself. (Molly is getting there too, I think). There are several curious points about the personality of Sherlock, he often expressed a need for the sleuthing to stick to the facts but his actions would often demonstrate that he was very reliant on his intuition as well, and clearly saw both logic and intuition as equal partners in solving the mysteries before him. For me Sherlock's heart is a mystery, by one hand he is very logical, on the other hand he is intuitive ... however, I can not imagine an expressive Sherlock about his feelings towards people. Rather, I think the mere fact of allowing some access to him it is proved only that interests them enough to have them around. He demonstrate with actions, not with words... at least often

thank you and thank you! Oh dear... I hate her a lot, I was in shock when I saw her, I'm in shock!! when I saw her with Sherlock..I was so upset and so jealous. Finally I thought: ¨ hey b... don't touch him, you're not good enough for Sherlock. It was hard to keep seeing that chapter... was like a pain in the neck. And after that I went to my mind palace to take a breath and she disappeared. was crazy hahahaha Oh, I'm with you! I don't think I will ever consider anyone good enough for Sherlock. Which is why I'd like him to stay single. Others may disagree! I'm with you guys 110%. More Lestrade!!!! I'm with you too! to return to see that chapter would have to skip that part. It is very pleasant to know I'm not alone here.

Actually, they've already met the shark, haven't they? Didn't jump him, just offed him. But now that villains are allowed to come back from the dead, they may get another chance to jump that ol' shark after all! Thank you! I'm sorry but... I'm happy for it. I don't like her for him... and I don't like that part of the episode, actually I prefer Molly to him. Also I have to say that I was in shock when I saw him kissing her...and needless to say when she sat on his leg. Excuse me if I went a little overboard! I'm really sorry. D:

Did he used her?... to Janine.... right?
