In the very first episode it was pretty much established that he does like men, then he falls for Irene Adler...so its safe to say he goes both ways

Yeah, it was established that he is more or less non-sexual as he finds others a distraction. There are very specific people that he does become obsessive about, Watson, Adler and Moriarty, but since Adler was the only woman it leads people to have certain preconceived ideas about his sexuality that are never explored

So, what does everybody think ? I thought the main plot was surprisingly solid and grounded, just the analogy with the merchant and the Death was unnecessarily convoluted and forced in. It's nice to know Moriarty isn't the only person who can fuck up Sherlock once he starts resembling a human with emotions, but the scene where Sherlock gets shot was terribly edited, I don't know if they ran out of money or what, but it would be better if they just did it without the cliché bullet time. For a moment I thought the secretary would destroy the aquarium to kill everyone, would make more sense than to kill a single person at best.

yeah, i was thinking that too, shoot that aquarium and flood out the room. maybe it was too silly to assume there was that much water in it.

boring as fuck, on the plus side killing the worst character in the show but having an entire episode revolving around her kooky backstory was just boring as fuck.
Sherlock Holmes, solving mysteries and crimes with his wits? Fuck that shit said the writers. Outplayed by a grandma, well done Sherlock

TBH I thought they needed to take him down a peg, him being outsmarted since he is still fixated on what Moriarty had in store was good, unlike a lot of the other things. That said, it's Sherlock, not a shitty James Bond ripoff.
Something was obviously hidden inside the busts, just the way they showcased AJ hiding it didn't look very convincing. Sherlock being fine with 1/6 chance to actually catch the thief looked really dumb, same for going 1v1 vs probably armed criminal without a backup, then he gets knocked out with a tiny scrap of paper - drugs don't work that way. Then we have John casually picking up chicks, for no apparent reason.
And last, the Michael Bay cameo with the exploding car - shit doesn't work that way.

Solid answer, but even Sherlock himself states that he can't really work outside London and last time I checked, he's still taking cabs instead of driving. The issue is lazy and nonsensical writing, not him taking on international problems.

its too bad i knew what sherlock was doing before he did it because of the name Culverton Smith. sometimes being a fan of a series and books for 30 years ruins things for yourself.
at least the ending was something completely unexpected.
