A moment in his life that pushes him to get counselling. It becomes the scene of Marys murder, someone who he had vowed to protect. The final showdown with Mrs.Norbury takes place in the London Aquarium where there is the blue depth of the waters all around them and predator sharks circle them in their little tunnel of air. The third time wasn’t exactly a state of mind but more an environment. The second time we see this happen is when he is in his brothers office, he becomes quite serious and similar effects are used when he states that “something’s coming” again he means something linked to Moriarty. He completely zones out, you see the dark blue water and you feel and hear the depth to which he falls to in that moment, this moment of intuition that he links to Moriarty. We first see it when he sees the “shrine” for Maggie.T. My last but certainly not least important talking point is the link between Sherlocks sadness/dark side and water. John says “Sherlock?” to which Sherlock replies “It’s never twins!”!! Is this a direct response to those who are theorising that Moriarty has a twin! Or is it reverse psychology to make us think it’s not twins. You know what happened to the other one” This has been circulating for a while and the fact that they reminded and reiterated it at the beginning of this season surely means we will find out more about this! The second was a little more casual as the crew sifts through the usual cases. The first being one from Mycroft “I’m not prone to outbursts of brotherly compassion. They had some cleverly inserted references that certainly deserve an honourable mention. But it has not occurred to Sherlock that Moriarty could have set up that message to just mess with his head as one final play on his part. He looks to Sherlock saying “They obsess over one thing and can’t let it go” poking at the fact that Sherlock is waiting for Moriarty to continue the game almost like he would think less of him if he didn’t and in that sense I guess he thinks highly of Moriarty as he is expecting something to happen. John throws in a sly but well meaning comment that carries heavy weight with it when Sherlock is sat at the table with his microscope and they are discussing OCD antics of the criminal. There will always be danger when one is Sherlock Holmes and I think we will come to see that as the series progresses (I say progresses like we have 22 episodes to look forward to but you know what I mean). There is also mention of intuition and predestination which may seem uncharacteristic of a highly functioning sociopath. It tells a tale of almost self fulfilling prophecy which feels like foreshadowing as to Sherlocks destiny. The Appointment in Samarra is mentioned many times throughout the episode. They were all supposed to be dead but Mary survived and so did Ajay, so who is to say that the other two didn’t!? But I guess that won’t really matter anymore seeing as Mary is dead and I don’t think they will be bringing her back, only Sherlock can pull that off! We find out that A.G.R.A was a crew of four freelance hit men/women two of which the identity remains secret, I don’t know if this was on purpose or just because it didn’t matter. The episode loosely follows the original “The Six Napoleons” in the sense that the story of the busts is incorporated as part of a much larger story line revolving around A.G.R.A and Mary. Overall it was a great episode to come back with and might I add slightly shocking too but I shall get to that. I shall try to contain myself for the remainder of the review but no real promises. OMG three years!! THREE YEARS!!! Oh what sweet music to the ears that voice with that attitude is, anyone who says they didn’t miss him is probably lying or doesn’t watch Sherlock and has never heard of Sherlock or the BBC or Dr Who or TELEVISION! Excuse me.
