Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFive years before this was made, England was shaken by the postmortem revelations about Jimmy Savile. For decades Savile had been one of the most popular and beloved BBC program hosts, knighted by the Queen, and a respected philanthropist. After his death it came out that he was probably the most prolific child rapist in English history. For many years the people around Savile had ignored the strong evidence of his horrific crimes.
- GoofsWhen Sherlock examines the mysterious note, he notes that it is creased from being folded tightly and faded from being pinned to the wall, but the spot of dried blood is still red. Blood is only red when oxygenated, and a spot on a piece of paper would not stay red for very long. When blood is completely dry, it appears brown like rust.
- Quotes
Sherlock Holmes: Taking your own life. Interesting expression. Taking it from who? Once it's over, it's not you who'll miss it. Your own death is something that happens to everybody else. Your life is not your own. Keep your hands off it.

Featured review
A great episode
Most of the people were pretty much disappointed by last week's episode and were convinced that 2nd season was the last good season of the show. No promise of goodness was shown in the last episode and it presented itself as wastage of time as they only have 3 episodes per season. But after this episode, it seems that the previous episode was just a clever move to tease the audience as the writers knew that they'd be able to more than make up for it. This epitomizes the Sherlock we all love and wait for. CGI was incredible: the slow motion shots were well placed to represent the scenario appropriately. It was fun to see Sherlock as Quicksilver(I have a feeling that John Smith was somewhere involved in all this). Really, a fabulous use of technology. The acting also was unparalleled. Everybody expects a few deductions here and there, but this episode showed the emotional connect between John and Sherlock. Toby Jones did a good job being despicable. Desperately waiting for the last episode, more because of its name.
