Re: Sherlock (BBC) begins tonight on PBS...
I didn't really feel the episode that much. I think the premier was so good, that it made this otherwise ok episode feel less than stellar to me. I'm guessing my biggest problem with this episode was that I prefer when Sherlock is at wits with another competent genius person. Whether that's Moriarty, The Woman, or the cab driver from the first season -- those are the episodes that I groove on most.

Hounds was probably my least favorite of the series so far. I can appreciate what they were trying to do with it but it just didn't grab me.

I found it to be pretty funny, especially with Sherlock acting nuts with the harpoon. But overall, this episode was a small step back from the last one.

I agree - this was pretty good, but paled in comparison to the premier.
The final scene was weird.

What an incredible finale. I don't know how the ending can be explained, though I'm sure they'll come up with something.
My favorite episode of the show so far. Wow.

Can't wait! But I have to wait until my 11 year-old daughter gets back from her mom's house. She loves the series too and I just can't bear to watch it without her.

Re: Sherlock (BBC) begins tonight on PBS...
Can somebody please explain the ending for todays episode. it's going to be a few days before I can watch and considering the wailing and weeping I'm reading on Twitter and Tumblr I'm not sure if I want to..
Moffett already confirmed a third season/series so what I have read couldn't be correct, Right?

Well, I guess we know what he needed Molly for. Though I thought they'd leave the ending a lot more vague than they did.
I do admit it was a lot darker than I usually like, but props to Moffat and the actor whp played Moriarty. What an amazing character he turned out to be.

"Reichenbach Falls" was excellent, the best of the three.

I completely flaked on the second season broadcast.
Guess I need to look for repeats on my local station or wait for Netflix streaming later this year.

Don't know exactly what you've read - and why it'd be replete with wailing/weeping from anyone that'd been watching "properly" - but I would suggest that you don't spoil your fun by seeking/reading too much by way of explanations in advance of watching the episode for yourself...

Loved this season. All three episodes. I thought season one was disappointing aside from the pilot, but these episodes raised the game.

It hasn't aired yet in the United States. It airs this summer. Apparently we have alot of posters here from Great Britain.

Hopefully that is the last time we will have to put up with Moriarty - terrible portrayal which didn't really help this weak episode. So far only the two season openers have been class while the other 4 have struggled to match up. I'm not sure if that's a problem with this adaptation or the source material.

[Yeah... right]
As a BBC licence-paying Brit, it sometimes strikes me that those of my transatlantic cousins who piggybank on my fees - and watch the shows earlier than they perhaps ought - should ensure that they do the honourable thing and buy the DVDs on their eventual release, thereby enriching BBC Enterprises and helping fund future UK programming...
