I'm sorry the episode upset you so much. As much as I enjoyed it, I did find it disturbing. I know I've found myself thinking about it the last two nights, so I don't blame you for having trouble sleeping after watching it. However, I didn't find it bleak so much as dark. If we hadn't seen Sherlock alive and well in the cemetary, I might have thought it was bleak. As long as Sherlock is still alive (not that I thought he would really be killed off), there's still hope.
I hope that when Sherlock returns, the first thing John does is punch him. It would be in character.
Yeah, I can't see John fainting the way Watson does in "The Empty House". And seeing John punch Sherlock would be so satisfying. *g*
Truly epically brilliant ep, but don't think I'll be watching it when its on DVD. It was just all a bit much for emotional old me :S
I understand. I can think of episodes from two shows that I never want to watch again because I found them too dark and/or depressing.
