I got around to watching this episode today. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I'm not a particular Sherlock fan. The series is so well done all round: production, sets, actors, plots, dialogue.
I'm happy you enjoyed the episode. It's received mixed reviews from fans, though even the ones who had problems with "A Scandal in Belgravia" seemed to like other aspects of the episode. And I would think that even if the show doesn't really speak to you, it's hard not to admire it to some degree in terms of the writing and production values. :-)
I like Mycroft now.
Awesome! He's got quite a large fandom following, which I'm happy about as I've grown very fond of both the character and Mark Gatiss. :-)
I was also disappointed that Lestrade didn't have much of a role this time.
Yes, the Lestrade fans haven't been thrilled about that, though I'd heard he didn't have a lot of screen time in "A Scandal in Belgravia," so it didn't come as a huge shock when I watched it. And I was satisfied with what I did see of him, though when isn't that the case when it's Rupert Graves? *g*
I don't know if this would interest you, but blooms84 has posted the first part of a really hilarious story (http://blooms84.livejournal.com/58453.html) that explains why Rupert Graves didn't have a larger role in "A Scandal in Belgravia".
P.S. I've mentioned this site a few times for live streaming and downloading of a great variety of TV series and movies: www.tv-links.eu. The best hosts for me are videozer and putlocker.
I have a confession to make. I actually remembered that site from one of your recent posts and ended up going there to find "A Scandal in Belgravia". I meant to thank you and stupidly forgot. It's been kind of a crazy week, and I think my brain has turned into goo. However, I'll take the opportunity now to thank you for introducing me to that site because I'm not sure how I would have found the new episode of Sherlock without it! THANK YOU! :-D
