A proper ending for a season, cliffhanger and everything, but some things seem to bother me a bit. First of all, this season's great villain didn't really prove out to be that great at all. While he had security to check for weapons when he visited Baker street, he didn't even bother to check Sherlock/ Watson once they got to his place?? And the flicking he played in the end, thinking he is in control was plainly a little off, since in the human world power (such as a gun would represent) overrides knowledge as in any case teasing people with guns to show your "power" will eventually only have one ending. And not anticipating to be killed if all the threat he posed could simply be removed with his death... Maybe was then a well thought of villain, who I suspect had his connections to Morianty, but thats just a whole lot of speculation that will start now... once again. HOW DID MORIANTY SURVIVE? Actor with a mask died instead? Twin brother? "The speculation, Mrs Hudson, is ON!"
So in that respect, Season 4 will probably attract a hell of a crowd, as all seasons have increasingly done so far.
Despite wasting a chance of creating a really good villain (who seemed great in the beginning, but the way he went was just a little... well, not the way a great villain would go), I think Season 3 was an excellent one. In all fairness, I did not expect season 3 to live up to season 2, as season 2 was simply EPIC. But I was wrong. It did. I wouldn't say it is a better of a season, but definitely lived up to the previous ones. Visually, I think Season 3 was by far the best. Villainwise, not so much. Soundtrack was amazing though! And so was the acting, so one has to admit that despite some small flaws, they still created an awesome TV experience - one that is hard to ever forget. And the return of Morianty in the next season will probably make it even harder! 9 to this episode, but BRAVO for the whole third series!
