And that's what I got from only one watch too, if I watch it again I'm pretty sure I can find even more. Plot holes don't matter to me as long as there's sufficient emotion (Reichenbach has MASSIVE plot holes but I couldn't think about them through my tears) but in this case the plot holes undermined the emotion because it felt the drama happened for no reason. And they had two years to come up with solid stories, I don't understand how there was absolutely no one to point out that nothing about that ending made sense. I do believe there was an easy solution to come up with something better. But then again the Doctor Who fandom has had a lot of problems with Moffat's writing recently, with convoluted plots that went nowhere and wobbly characterization; I thought Sherlock had been spared so far maybe because he cared about Sherlock more than Who and he actually spent time writing one good Sherlock episode and pissed away the Who episodes... but now I can say that he's just an empty well; he doesn't have any stories to tell, only formulas to apply and "you know what would be cool?" scenes loosely strung together with non-logic. Oh, well.
