Out With A Bang

The third series of Sherlock closed with a thundering good episode last night. Lucy Mangan’s review says it much better than I ever could, so go and read that. I’ll wait until you get back.

The cliffhanger this time around is the revelation in the closing seconds that apparently suggests that Moriarty faked his own death, and is back to take his revenge. Personally, I rather doubt it. I’m more inclined to go along with the theory that because Sherlock knew that being sent undercover would result in his own death within six months, he has engineered the apparent resurrection of Moriarty in order to bring himself back to London and out of the undercover mission.
