Everyone out here complaining about the ending. I’m just really upset my dude died his hair that hideous red color

Quite enjoyed this series/season but didn't like the ending one bit.
What the fuck kind of bullshit was that
I admit I was a little floored when I saw the subjects touched as I didn't expect them to be dealt with in 99, but as it was getting on I really appreciated the way it was done: delicately and with the show's usual humour, in this case even in dealing with these serious stuff.
There are different ways of facing society's problems, and talking about them even in a lighter way (as for a comedy, rather than a drama) is always a nice start.
I love how for some there are certain topics so touchy that just have to be ignored or that make anyone who talks about them "woke". Some of you Americans are weird
That Ekko vs Jinx scene is quite something.
"The only thing you won last heist was a lifetime of mediocre heterosexual intercourse with Jake."
Dead.
Fun fact: Puzzle maker Melvin Stermley is played by Melissa Fumero's (Amy Santiago) real-life husband, David Fumero.
That might've been one of my favorite cold opens ever. "Maybe I don't have an arch nemesis because I solve all my crimes". It's a good thing Jake was at a police precinct because that was straight up murder.
"Cheddar, you duplicitous bitch!"
Not the VIPs using opera glasses to watch the Squid Game this is TOO MUCH.
so sherlock is over, and these are my thoughts on the finale in order of appearance:
since when the show is a horror movie and why was there a fucking clown.
the motion sensor was activated after the drone had landed and mycroft obviously knew enough about those explosives to realise that’s how they work, so why the hell did they wait for that to happen instead of immediately running away? oh wait. the drama.
they actually put that horrible cgi explosion from the trailer into the episode… why. later, in the very end, i will be reminded of it while watching sherlock and john run in slow mo.
why couldn’t mycroft, an important government figure and a relative of eurus, officially check up on her instead of the whole dress up game? and then he obviously shows us that he can fire or order around anyone in that prison which makes their shenanigans even less relevant. it’s really sad to see non-existent problems beings “solved” just to use screen time and mindlessly entertain the viewers. detective stories are supposed to be reasonable.
okay, i’m sorry but i’m not buying that “enslaving” bullshit. i want to know how she does it, because all we were given is some pieces of weird bullshit that wouldn’t faze anyone in their right mind. it reminds me of the cabbie from the pilot episode that supposedly talked his victims into killing themselves. but in the end we learned that he just threatened them with a fake gun. ah those good old times when the show had its wits and integrity still intact…
they sure like to deliberately make sherlock obtuse. i just don’t buy him missing that there’s no glass when he’s close to it and there’s still no reflexion. and shouldn’t the music sound muffled too or did the fiddle had its own voice modulator installed? interesting.
i know moriarty being alive would make no sense, but the show is guilty of occasionally doing that already, and he’s such a believably smart and psychotic character that’s interesting to watch that i would have gladly used my suspension of disbelief card.
i thought the girl on the plane was an idiot because she kept giving useless answers to important questions, but the reveal in the end explained it. 1-0, touche. then again, surely eurus would be imagining herself as the young version of herself and the sole reason they used another child actor is to keep the mystery up, which is a pretty cheap trick. 1-1.
now the real idiot (or more like a dumb plot device) here is undoubtedly molly. she fucking knows what sherlock does and in what kind of situations he sometime ends up being, and he obviously sounded nervous and agitated from the get go and eventually resorted to fucking begging, so why the hell couldn’t she trust him and just say what he asked her to? oh i know why. the drama. again. also her making sherlock “confess” his love for her she knows he doesn’t have literally came out of nowhere and had fanservice written all over it. and that conversation was so unrealistic and forced for the sake of plot progression it honestly made me cringe. god i wish they were more subtle with molly and her sad love for sherlock and all the irene adler mentions before it instead of jamming them into the storyline and reinforcing their awkward attempts to bring to life sherlock’s absent libido. they even made him destroy that coffin in a melodramatic fit, which was ridiculous because compared to the other experiments the molly incident surely warranted that kind of emotional outburst the least, no one had died after all. but wait, some fans are gonna love using that as proof for sherlock’s romantic feelings for molly, so that’s why it happened.
mycroft goading sherlock into killing him was painfully obvious, considering he’s the one who has been quite vocal about his brother not being a pragmatic automaton but a quite emotionally driven creature, and that he would never kill john, regardless of his intellectual capabilities.
so the lesson here is that you should pay more attention to your little sisters?..
you can’t just switch psychopathy on and off. but of course eurus was able to. in once instance she’s a cold blooded murderer that doesn’t understand the difference between killing someone innocent and someone guilty, in general she has a spontaneous child murder on her record, but oh no, the episode is almost over and we can’t possibly kill john watson (like we couldn't blow up molly or shoot mycroft, but had no problem axing mary, a character that no one gave two shits about, dead or alive, or moriarty, who had basically been the best character; good job on fucking up twice), the fans would rage, so let’s make our villain a crying scared little girl that longs for brotherly love and make her suddenly change her evil ways, so we could wrap this shit up and move on.
and why did they put her back in the place she can easily break out from? what even has changed? can’t she make the staff into her bitches again just by talking to them (eternal eyeroll) like she did before? yeah she’s not mad at sherlock anymore (because he gives her attention now! how cute), but she’s still a mentally disturbed person and the cage must get boring when you have a fiddle as your only source of entertainment.
so yeah, i basically wrote a fucking essay or more like a hateful ode to the show, but i don’t actually hate it, i still adore first two seasons, tolerate the third and i have been relatively entertained by the last one, this episode included, even if i undoubtedly think the show hasn't been clever for a long time and it's finale was less a detective and more a weird left-field saw tribute without everything that actually makes saw enjoyable. i'm writing this as a former fan that for the last few years has been mostly disappointed by the show they once loved, that’s all. i’m also bored and writing this kept my mind busy. that makes this otherwise useless “review” worth it, i guess.
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good."
"I never would have given you to them. Not for anything. Don't cry. You're perfect."
This episode has some incredible quotes.
This has to be the dumbest, most unrealistic, ridiculously over-the-top show on TV at the moment—and I love it.
I smiled when Gina popped up. Then she reminded us how annoying she is. Who actually missed her?
I'm 3 minutes into the episode and I cannot do this. Another musical episode with no storyline? No. Just NO!! What next? Riverdale on ice? Omg, if the writers have ran out of ideas, why can't they just write a good final season and cut their losses?
Edit: I skipped through the whole thing, so let me save you the grief of watching. All you need to know is that Betty and Archie kiss and realize they may have feelings for one another. Then, skip to 40:45 and watch the last few minutes.
"Tell my wife that I love her... work ethic." Loved Bill Hader as Captain!
Basically how I've always wanted Harley Quinn to be portrayed.
And Holt is back!... Really, they need to put some more cases with Holt and Jake working together, was so funny and Gina was great, her entrance at the end was the best.
Dayum! Cool Charles is savage! Or, as officer Holt would say: "hm-hmm".
The Raymond, Kevin, and Jake dynamic is one of my top favorites. It always gives a feel of parents and their dorky son. Hehe. Come on, guys! Adopt him already. He needs it.
Jake: Ok, seriously what's going with him?
Rosa: It's a whole thing.
Jake: Is it going to screw up the plan?
Rosa: It's more quietly self destructive.
Jake: Sounds good. Terry, do you.
Even though I'm the biggest fan of Holt & Wuntch throwing insults at each other, THAT was the best interaction in the episode. LMAO.
I can't believe Jake missed the opportunity to land a Home Alone joke about Kevin.
Finally she's out. That whole assumed awesomeness of Gina thing was in fact just very annoying.
Who said fear of ghosts? I'm afraid of the girl who says "SHHHHHHH SILENCE"
The animation in this show is amazing but the one thing that actually blew my mind was the shot of Jayce writing with a fountain pen. The slight bend of the tip showed me the incredible attention of detail they put into this. The other thing is the slight shifting of the eyes when characters are looking at each other. Just like in real life when we switch from looking at one eye to the other. In a previous episode when someone climbed down a ladder, he didn't just glide down, you could see the gravity pulling down on him every rung he went down. Everything has a weight. Compare this to The Clone Wars where they just look like weightless stick figures. I'll be rewatching this show again cause I feel if I picked up on that, how much will I have missed?
The red hair. That red hair. It was so awful and it didnt suit him . Thats what all i could think of
General Amaya's Sign language during the grave scene:
Hello Sister.
You were my heroine.
Perfect, strong, unwavering.
Kind and true.
I'm sorry, big sister.
I have failed.
I had your boys safely with me, but let them slip away.
When leaving Gren:
I trust you.
You were my voice.
Be my will and save the boys.
