The lying detective was one of the best episodes of the show. This one started to build on it, and kept it going during most of the episode, it was going to be even better, Eurus' character was amazing, and then... that ending. That was complete fucking bullshit. Way to ruin a superb episode and an even greater character. The character was so hyped, she was the ultimate adversary and villain and then what ? She's just a little girl crying on the inside because her brother had another friend, bouh bouh bouh. Come on ! That was sooooo bad !

And to top it off, after that, the Mary video at the end of the episode, that was puke inducing.

The episode starts great though, with the haunted house play at Mycroft's. Not sure it was really necessary, but really well done and fun.

Then some family stories. The little girl is perfectly creepy. Which one is pain ? One of the greatest lines of the show. Also even if you don't lock up a child because a dog goes missing. But what about another child ? She should have been taken care of before burning the house.

The grenade scene was maybe a little too much but yeah, ok. Mrs Hudson listening to Iron Maiden was a nice touch.

Then they get to Sherrinford. The deception was fun, but 100% useless as Mycroft seems to have the authority to do whatver he pleases there anyway. Why would they bother doing that ? But again, fun enough.

The Moriarty scene was splendid, he was just perfect! The recorded tick tock video not so much though.

And then come Eurus. First Sherlock not noticing there is no glass ?? I don't buy it. But anyway, great performance, but pretty incoherent too, like they didn't bother to finish the character and her story. She goes through all this games and it seems as if she's experimenting, trying to see how normal human works and if her brother works he same. Like she really doesn't understand. But if she's that great at manipulating/enslaving people she must already have a great understanding of what makes the tick. She also would have had a lot of time to experiment on the guards if she was in total control of the prison.

She also started that not too long ago because she was changed after Moriarty's visit. But then how did she become so dangerous ? Sure she's a whole other level of intelligence, but that's not enough. If she was locked up as a child, she would have been missing access to books, news, internet, etc. As smart as she was she would have been missing basic knowledge about almost everything.

Not a big fan of the Molly bit, that was here for drama, and then totally occulted.

It's obvious from the very beginning that the girl on the plane thing is not happening at the same time or for real. It just doen't work. But the way they solve that, argh...

The song as clue was really really difficult. No wonder nobody found it. However if it worked perfectly in this situation, it would not have when they were children. And also did not give any indication whatsoever of where he would be.
