not to have a fandom 'old man yells at cloud' moment but after all these years it still irks me... why the hell did they show sherlock immediately identifying moriarty as gay? and then talking about his gay underwear (and knowing exactly which brands are popular with gay men)?? if they weren't planning on johnlock to becoming canon at some point?

John: you’d be an idiot not to see it, you love it

sherlock: love what?

john: look, I find it difficult, i find it difficult this sort of stuff.

sherlock: i know.

sherlock: john, theres something i should say, i meant to say always and i never have. since its unlikely well ever meet again i might as well say it now...

therapist: the stuff that you wanted to say, but didnt say it

john: yeah

therapist: say it now.

john: im sorry, i cant. 

sherlock: that er... thing that you did er... that you offered to do, that was um... good.

john: im glad no one saw that.

sherlock: hmm?

john: you ripping my clothes of in a darkened swimming pool, people might talk.

Okay I need to get my thoughts out on the last episode!

I think the idea for that episode was superb they just didn’t give themselves enough time to think it through and realise that it should have been 2 episodes at least! Van Helsink being the one to save Dracula and him in return dying with her was such a fantastic image, but the romance plot at the very end was so under developed, especially since she was the one who saved him! I thought it was far more beautiful to think of it as her being a parental figure to Dracula despite her being so much younger and she has what he could never have, which is a calm attitude towards death! That’s so beautiful! And him not burning in the light was genuinely so interesting, I just wish that last episode could have been fleshed out further, some of the characters (cough John was it? Cough) were so underdeveloped that they either should have been cut from that episode of that episode made longer.

I can genuinely say I enjoyed it, I felt annoyed about the ending but I’ve thought about it a lot since last night and honestly I think it was just under developed

All in all, I think they made the mistake of not letting Dracula be the main character in the last episode, and not making this show two seasons, one season focusing on the first episode, and the second on the last, then it would have been perfect
