Sherlock, S3 Ep2

Sherlock, S3 Ep2

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the review for the second episode in the third series of Sherlock. Without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

The Sign Of Three

So, the three words I've picked for this episode are :

Wedding : In this episode, John and Mary are going to their wedding, and John has asked Sherlock to be his best man, and thus, to make a speech for the married couple. Even though it's very easy for Sherlock to do his deductions and solve crimes, it's much harder to write a speech he will actually pull off in front of an audience. Also, John and Sherlock do a little party (with Sherlock measuring things, as usual, but that won't prevent them from getting drunk and vomiting on a crime scene) before John gets married. Eventually, Sherlock delivers the best man speech and it's quite great, I mean, honest and very sincere, but also very emotional, which made the entire audience tear up.

Military : Also, in this episode, a royal guard is almost killed while he was in his bathroom taking a shower, with the stall being completely closed. Sherlock has to investigate on this case as he realises that it will happen again (the Mayfly Man, taking the identity of the dead and going around because of an unhappy marriage and hooking up with some ladies, is at the wedding because one of the women knows John's middle name that was only shown on the wedding invitations). Then, he saves major Sholto's life since the killer used the same method for the two attempted murders.

A New Chapter : Now that John is married, Mary believes that Sherlock will lose his best friend and that they won't be seeing each other as much as before the wedding, also, Mrs. Hudson says that ''marriage changes everybody'', and that when her best friend married, they stopped seeing each other. She says that after the marriage, people have new friends and forget about the old ones. Mycroft himself tells Sherlock to ''not being involved'' in this new life between John and Mary (he wanted to take the picture reserved to the bride and groom). They go on an investigation to stop being stressed all the time, also for John to reassure Sherlock and tell him that it's just the beginning of a new chapter and that they will still be visiting each other and working on cases.

Overall impression : Another great episode, really, I have nothing much to say about the perfection that is this show.

Okay, that's it for today, I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
