Last time I saw an excellent Sherlock episode like this is S02E01. And this time,it gives me a lot of different feelings. I really admire the creativity of Steven Moffat.His comprehension towards life is out of my expectation.Whatever the mind palaces which appears when he got shot,or the situations when Sherlock reveal the truth in Laurence Garden,they three go back to Baker Street and the conversation between Mycroft and Sherlock,they are all of great intelligence.Especially the mind palace,it reminds me of "Inception",but in His Last Vow,it is neater and more exact to show the character's personality and emotion than that(of course,the technology can't be compared and some detail can't be expressed more,after all,money and 90- minute-time limits a lot,what's more,Sherlock is not sci-fi). As for the ending,it may not be so brilliant but not bad at all.Magaussen is too proud that he believes nobody will do harm to him on his own land,especially a sensible person like Sherlock.But however the pressure points he owned,he won't realize his ending.In a way,the shot ending possibly suggests the dangerous character inside Sherlock's. It is absolutely a remarkable drama.Look forward to the next season. PS:Steven Moffat is a genius,but a proper strange genius,so it's normal to have arguments with this episode.However I am crazy about it,for his amazing scripts (especially the actor's lines) and fantastic ingenuity. 9.5 out of 10 at least as I see.
