The entire gang plot was making me almost dread new episodes. I am so glad it is over. And I am actually pretty happy with what they did with the visions and the ending of the show. I have felt like JLM and LL were both being wasted a bit this season and there is at least great potential for next season if they actually make whatever is wrong with Sherlock a thing that is ongoing and has to be dealt with for a while. I mean kill him off in the end if you have to, just give two great actors something INTERESTING to work with.

That said, this was definitely the best episode of the latter half of the season, if not the entire season.

Also going by the Elementary writers, it sounds like right now the show is slated for mid-season, I guess as a replacement show which sounds like half a season which CBS has a habit of doing for shows during their last seasons. But we shall see.
