The writing was amazing? What the fuck planet are you living on?
I don't care if you 'enjoyed' the episode or not, but OBJECTIVELY the writing was fucking terrible.
Well kindly enlighten me, because I thought that (minus a few things like the whole "E" thing) it was very well written, I especially liked the whole merchant story coming in to it, things like that.
Off the top of my head -
Mary jumping in front of a bullet (after it had been shot)
(pistol bullet intial velocity is around 380 m/s avg human reaction time is 250 ms, even if Mary has 100 ms thats 0.1 x 380 = 38 meters the bullet travels before it's possible for her to react to it)
The case at the beginning that was just "he died for no particular reason" - the car exploding ?? - It just looks like literally no thought went into that case at all. If they'd thought about it for more than 5 minutes they could have written something good along the lines of the camera setting off an epileptic fit (just an example)
Most of the dialogue was terrible and cringe worthy. "What now?" "we die." "Who are you" "the man who will kill your friend" (paraphrasing cause I'm not looking up the exact lines)
The entire Mary death scene is cliche as fuck and had no originality to it.
Watsons weird fucking groans ?
The plot just being about Mary who's a terrible character in the first place and never should have been close to a main character.
They could have done something clever and original but as soon as I saw it was Marys usb shit again you just know it's the writers jerking themselves off to her shit character like the last 2 episodes.
the person behind it all being some fucking character we've never seen before and don't give a fuck about it. How is that not just lazy writing?
it isnt really a mystery when the culprit is introduced in the last 5 minutes and theres literally nothing to tie any of it together thats logical
tracks her to whatever country with a tracker in the USB yet he arrives at the house before her
london aquarium is right next to a hospital (sherlock earlier says he knows london thats why he wants to go back there with mary) no one tries taking her to a hospital or calling an ambulance
Really the biggest issue is Mary being the center of the episode when she is a terrible character that no one cares about because she is so badly written. Can anyone take her seriously as an ex-spy like character? I mean really?
There's hints of potential in the episode that's the sad thing, I liked the first 20 minutes or so then it just fell flat and I almost just left the room to stop watching I got so bored.
Writing like this is exactly whats wrong with the latest Doctor Who and why I stopped watching it. I enjoyed the first 2 seasons of this show and its a shame I'll probably stop watching this as well
Well I actually agree with a lot of this that I never actually thought of, but to "it isnt really a mystery when the culprit is introduced in the last 5 minutes and theres literally nothing to tie any of it together thats logical" she was hinted to in the very beginning as being the culprit. Not saying she's a good character, but that's just plain wrong.
