Oh, wow.
Not as charming as last year's finale, but it was still great.
Loved the callbacks to things seen in ACD books and short stories. I think the Irregulars are now random people with webcams and webchat abilities? But I loved that they were represented in foiling the crooked MI6 agent.
Instead of Sherlock "falling," Mycroft was the one to "fall." I liked that twist.
Poor Joan. The whole MI6 thing destroyed her relationship with Mycroft. I feel bad for her, unlike some people that have been complaining about Joan/Mycroft for most of the season. She clearly wants a life outside of Sherlock and his (murder) mysteries, but Sherlock can't seem to handle life without her...for now. And even though some people didn't like the idea of Joan/Mycroft (but are fine with the show not sticking to ACD's books and short stories to the letter), Joan really thought Mycroft could make her happy, Sherlock or no Sherlock.
I don't like the open ending for this season, but since it already has a third season in the works, it's okay for now. Sherlock working with MI6 will certainly put a kink in his relationships with Joan and the NYPD.
Oh, and that library Mycroft was stashed in was gorgeous.
