LOL. I did see a headline about the ratings but didn’t read up on it. Wasn’t the episode leaked before it aired though or was that just a rumor? If it was leaked that could have contributed to the low ratings. 

I’m having a little bit of fun reading about how upset the Sherlock fandom is with the whole season though. I sympathize with you. Really I do. Welcome to how a part of the Doctor Who fandom has been feeling for years! The poor Sherlockians are now on the joy ride that is Moffat trying to explain his choices and fill in the blanks he so often leaves behind. My favorite ‘fill in’ so far is from this article about not showing the aftermath of the ‘I love you’ scene between Sherlock and Molly. Just everybody go read it. He basically says the scene was way more devastating to Sherlock than it was for Molly. Sherlock hurts more. Molly was fine. She probably just had a drink and went and fucked somebody. 

It’s 2017 and Moffat is still the worst!
