Finally sat down and watched HLV today online. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Series 3 had felt slightly unfamiliar (in terms of characterization) to me, but I felt the stride come back in all the characters by Sign of Three. HLV had the rhythm of the dynamics I've come to love with these characters.
My favorite was really getting a sense of Sherlock's back story; often Mycroft's quips about Sherlock in previous series left me wanting so much about our favorite Detective. So to see flashbacks and moments of true sincerity from Sherlock was really powerful and added so much to this plot line.
And Mary! Can we PLEASE talk about Mary! A force to be reckoned with...I loved her from her first scene, and her twists and turns were well-timed in the story, and very enjoyable. (Totally teared up at that fireplace scene with her and John...the feels ya'll...). I really love what they've done with this character.
And that plane scene...forget it. Talk about a blubbering mess. #TeamKleenex
And with an ending like this one, if I have to wait another year and some change to find out how the HELL this man survived...I will hunt Gatiss down and give him a piece of my mind, so help me god.
