New chapter tomorrow. Bit of an episode that was. Talk about it tomorrow too.
If you're happy or sad because of the ending, just know that the fandom has always been there, and it will always be there. Since 1886, Holmes and Watson have been together, in one way or the other, and I don't believe that will ever leave. They will live on through the fanfiction, through the drawings, through our imaginations. Who knows, maybe the next season will take all of our feelings and all of our feedback and actually make use of it.
That being said, I'm not disappointed by the episode, as many others are. I think there are a few plot holes, but I'm cutting them some slack, because this is a big production that has really tied the past 4 seasons together. There humans, not perfect. I know I may get backlash because of this, but please respect my opinion, as I will respect yours.
There were many good points in that episode & in the season overall. Thank you to the actors, the directors, the screenwriters, the editors & everyone else for making this show possible.
I'm crossing my fingers for another season.
The ending.. the ending was very open. It was both a finale and an open end for another season. People can interpret the ending as then just remaining friends and solving cases together, or they becoming something more. I think, judging by Mary's message and them playing so happily together with Rosie, that it was something more than friendship. I don't know if we'll ever know for sure, but it's up to you to make your own end, I guess.
Thanks for an amazing season, and thank you guys for sticking with me through it. I'll continue writing, of course. The fandom that started it all, really. Back then, in 1886.
How could I ever leave it?
