Martin Freeman (John) and Amanda Abbington (Mary) actually split up after 16 years together during the filming of season 4, so the final scene in Sherlock's flat felt especially heartbreaking to watch.

[@joeybot1587]

I didnt like season 4 as a whole but this episode was one of the best of the series.

[@matthewnash8556]

This episode is like a DREAM come true...too subtle?

[@HeadGodoftheGodCouncil]

Cumberbatch and Freeman need to play in more movies/shows together.....

[@espen379]

God They have. :)

[@HeadGodoftheGodCouncil]

We still need more. Doesn't matter if they have played with each other before or not. Doesn't change my point I was making.

[@MontgomeryWenis]

They are both in the Hobbit and the MCU.

[@matthewnash8556]

"I thought Moriarty sent her, and i was right!" if only.

[@blackandbluemadness7965]

They re gonna be so chocked next week I cant wait

[@thesingingthing]

Eurus used her brown hair and blue eyes to make John fall for her and wore a blonde wig and used a cane which ended with Sherlock falling for her. See what she did there?

[@kait7168]

black _ plaid _ shirt I get what you’re trying to say, but she just used her natural looks for John bc he’s straight and can appreciate how beautiful she is and used the blonde wig for Sherlock bc she was impersonating the daughter.

[@kait7168]

Jennifer Ramos She does. I couldn’t remember either so I looked it up. They don’t explain why she needs it, but yes she does have one.

[@beckyjones4280]

Can someone explain? Please.

The reveal that it was Sherlock's sister made me feel gross for shipping them in the beginning of the episode.

[@alexanderthered5603]

And that's why you don't ship.

The guy you were wondering about is Toby Jones, he was arnim zola in captain america, the auctioneer guy in jurrasic world 2 and the dream lord in the most recent doctor who episode you watched

[@valaport]

And Dobby, a free elf!

[@michaelklaus]

Thank you! I was wondering if they had watched Amy's choice by this time.

[@alexjames4507]

Easily the best of Season 4, if not the entire show as a whole

[@ipek6851]

-May guess would be that Eurus killed the dog +That would be hell of a villian YEAAhh about the dog...

[@notbubu]

I really enjoyed the way this episode's tricks absolutely worked on me, I didn't notice it wasn't the daughter and that all three characters were the same person until they were revealed. Something about things being hidden in plain sight that I absolutely love.

[@chinesewhispers1]

Toby Jones has a long career in tv and movies. He's been in Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy, Jurassic World (Fallen Kingdom) and The Captain America films. The stories at the time were that, Culverton, the character Toby Jones played, was based on a very famous British tv & radio icon called Jimmy Saville who had a career spanning over 50 years from 1957 to 2011. He became a radio 1 DJ (UK's biggest radio station at the time), presented Top of the Pops (UK's biggest music show), and had a prime time BBC show in the 1970s & 80s called Jim'll Fix It, where children wrote in with something they'd always wanted to do & he'd make their dreams come true. He also used to do loads of charity work and ran marathons (usually in his trademark gold tracksuit while puffing on a cigar, well into his 70s. Because of his "celebrity", many politicians and senior figures bent over backwards for him, including giving him free rein in hospitals. After his death in 2011 it came to light that there had been a tv expose on him being a sexual predator but the BBC had stopped the show being broadcast to protect his image. Then a show did come out exposing him, following which hundreds of people started came forward claiming he'd sexually assaulted them. This abuse covered his whole career. Further to this, it turned out senior execs at the BBC had been aware of at least some of his behaviour and he'd been banned from the Child Line charity years earlier, and, when victims had gone to the police to report his crimes, they'd been batted away in disbelief. Towards the end of his career Saville used to openly boast about how powerful his friends were and that he was untouchable. As you can imagine, when this show went out as one of the biggest shows in the UK, and at prime time on the BBC, it was seriously creepy to watch.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

Shane: "I feel like I've seen him recently..." TRY DOCTOR WHO SEASON 5 WITH THE DREAMS! He's also Arnim Zola in Captain America

[@nikolaift4906]

This episode proves why Superman's disguise works and he's not completely crazy😂

[@gevorg1989]

But he doesn't change his hair style and colour 😅 But it's noted in Lupin's S3 where he wears no disguise but gaslights into believing it's not him 😂

[@Kingdrasta13]

Clever hints throughout this episode regarding the reveal at the end :)

[@dababa85]

Haha you can hear Eric talking randomly in the background.

[@garretthenderson5738]

That's him reacting to firefly in the background... just watched that episode and laughed my ass off hearing it again hear.

[@uselesscomment5810]

Rick seems to enjoy this show much more than Game of Thrones 😂

[@CaesiusX]

[@RogueIntel]

Well!I ts as good as game of thrones

[@uselesscomment5810]

Thomas Kelly Indeed 😂 All I’m saying is that it pleases me that Rick doesn’t have the same snobby attitude towards Sherlock. I really love both shows

[@deanospeedster4507]

because the british know what makes a great series

[@LuvSlushie]

This villain was based on Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris, real life bad guys who hid their secrets whilst being in the public eye.

[@TheGroucho66]

More so based on Jimmy Saville. Saville donated a lot of money to children's hospitals, would regularly visit, and even had keys to certain wings, rooms, and wards of the hospital where he could do all manner of disgusting things to the children. Some nurses and doctors at the time knew what was going on but he had so much power and influence that their entire careers could be terminated if they displeased Saville in any way. It is truly horrific.

[@somerandomguy2073]

@@TheGroucho66 He was supposedly into corpses, too. Had keys to the morgue and would spend all night in them on his own. You can probably guess what the doctors and nurses suspected he was up to. It's genuinely terrifying how much power that man had.

[@aureliaansah1462]

Yay! I'm so happy you loved this episode. Me too. "In saving my life she conferred a value on it. It is a currency I do not know how to spend". Aaaaaah, just beautiful.

[@alexiskahlert6788]

That line frickin broke me when i first heard it

[@LODintheshadows]

The bad guy was the dream master in doctor who recently

[@7pitpat7]

Dream lord*

[@tommymiller702]

Yep, it's Toby Jones. He was also in the new Jurassic World movie and a few of the Captain America movies

[@JeM130177]

Moffat's written episodes are always so strong. Fantastic episode. That "get the hell on with it" absolutely destroys me every time. Also when he was walking on the walls that was all real. Moving room!

[@gilanes]

Lol it was the dreamlord Shane!!! The dreamlord!!

[@aje8790]

And Arnim Zola

[@elizabeths50]

Toby is the Dream Lord!

[@melo13melo]

yeah, and then the next episode beat it to death.

[@phhsdj]

This episode and the last one redeemed it for me

[@elenaferry]

When I first watched this episode, the villain creeped me out so much that the next time I saw his face when I watched it again I burst into tears 😂

[@lucieudem]

No reaction about John beating the Hell from Sherlock? I hate that they made John do that :(

[@gevorg1989]

It's sad but logical

[@mrsfahrenheit]

@@gevorg1989that's what I always stand and die by. It makes so much sense for that to have happened

[@ipek6851]

Personally this episode is the best after Reichenbach Fall. I felt really stupid because I didn’t understand that they were all the same woman. I hope they will like the next episode, it is sad that people now think Sherlock is a bad show. And I hope we get to see season 5 in the future(with a better script and writing like in season 1 or 2) I really want to see how Sherlock would interact with and take care of Rosie 😭

[@saylosrelyks8645]

Well to be fair they did a good job with the makeup and clothing.

[@saylosrelyks8645]

Exactly, the way she was written is awful, we are supposed to feel bad for her but the way she is going about it makes it hard to give a crap about her, i missed Moriarty even more in that episode, the only thing we really got of him were his funky dance moves to Queen.

[@ipek6851]

Meeting John started Sherlock’s character development. As the series continued we started to see Sherlock’s human side more. And I don’t think this was the problem of the show. Him having emotions doesn’t change the fact that how intelligent he is. It adds to his character. One of the most important part of the show was his character arc and if you thought he will always be carefree of course you are going to be disappointed and annoyed because you missed the whole point. I think the problem was after season 2 show started to concentrate on the big picture, it started to have less crimes and less deduction. I’d enjoyed watching well written, different crimes every episode and I think most people preferred that way too. If there will be a fifth season they should make it more like season 1 and 2. Rosie’s father is still alive and healthy, he is capable of taking care of her daughter emotionally and financially and you think he should give her for adoption? And what about Molly? I never saw her going crazy over wanting a baby, she never said something like that or acted that way. Yeah we saw her helping his friend who lost his wife, this shows how a great friend she is. You just said that because she take care of Rosie before or because she is a woman. Of course Sherlock is not a father and I don’t think him as one. But the person he loves the most in the world has a daughter and of course Sherlock will love her too and of course he is going to interact with her. I never said that fifth season should be about Sherlock raising Rosie, butterflies and rainbows!!! He is so human now!!! :)

[@ajivins1]

Toby Jones is in a gentle BBC comedy called 'Detectorists' with Mackenzie (Pirates of the Carribean) Crook as two metal-detecting friends-very picturesque.

[@michaelandrews117]

Easily the best episode of Season 4, it felt like a true return to form for the show. If only the rest of the season was this good.

[@CaesiusX]

I have mentioned this in other comments for these reactions, but you really should look into the real relationship between actor *Martin Freeman* _(Watson)_ and *Amanda Abbington* _(Mary)._ It broke my heart when I learned of the details. I'll try and share what I remember... They had been married. They were already married for a bit when she joined the show. But then they got divorced. And still had to make that episode where she died. And then, of course, her appearance after that. They were such a great couple, IMO. But one can never judge a couple from the outside. No one ever should. I can only guess that it was Martin's schedule that put a strain on the relationship. But that is, again, just a guess.

[@adamtaylor9916]

I watched your first episode of Sherlock reaction and have now watched them all, your Nakamura shirt has encouraged me to tell you how awesome you guys are.

[@adamtaylor9916]

Also ever since The Beatles wanted to 'Break America' every reference to making it worldwide from this country seems to be 'Break America'. It gets bought up a lot in England.

[@Itzlevel7]

the BEST episode imo

[@wolfpack_104]

This is probably my second favorite episode, but one thing that always confused me was how Sherlock's sister knew about the serial killer in the first place. Was it ever explained?

[@eirei0789]

I think it should be easy to infer that anything Sherlock knows or deduced, his sister did as well. She simply used the serial killer for her own plans.

[@melo13melo]

man, this episode had me in tears the first time I saw it. It boggles my mind that they created an episode so brilliant then followed it up with complete garbage. But then even if this episode is probably the best in the entire series it doesn't answer a single question or tie off any loose ends. So it makes complete sense for the final episode to be a complete failure because they left everything to the last minute. to be honest I kinda pretend the 4 season only had one episode in it and I just block out the other two. Especially the last one. That god awful last one.

[@coopy1154]

The next episode is my favourite episode of the series!!

[@ianplocki120]

He was the dream lord in a Doctor Who episode you recently watched.

[@GAMEH0R5E]

The villain in this episode is in another British show called Detectorists which is really good, thats what i know him from.

[@johnukey]

As usual, excellent reaction and review. Well done picking up on the Sherlock development in character. To me the whole group of series was one long story with intermissions (sometimes very long ones), rather than episodic procedurals. Looking forward to watching your reactions to the finale and seeing how well you have skirted closely to the central issues and the culmination of an exceptional piece of work in re-imagining this Sherlock character - by that I mean the writing, acting and production, giving us mystery, humour and imagination. You have been reading it all so well, despite the very clever misdirections and tricky clues.

[@dodgermutt]

I know where you may recognize the actor from, he was the Dream Lord in that Doctor Who episode "Amy's Choice".

[@5calambres]

You cut the epic unveiling of euros into pieces? DISLIKE! xD

[@brienneoffriggintarth5510]

I felt like that with his reaction to GoT. That's why I didn't watch them...not so much with Sherlock. :-)

[@phhsdj]

Jaime loves Brienne no he is too smart because he Guessed she was his sister and he does it for me in every show he is in. I feel bad because I so want to like him but I just can’t. Like it’s so bad. It’s their Channel and I like everything else as long as he is not there when Game of Thrones comes back I can get over it but I feel like it will feel like that bigger turn off to me of he is there for that.
