The 6 Thatchers

Mr Welsborough is having a party for his 50th birthday. He is happy to receive a phone call from his son, travelling in Tibet. But the call is interrupted. One week later, after a car crash, the body of his son is found right in front of the house.
Sent by the police, Sherlock solves the mystery right away. He is more intrigued by the disappearance, in the house, of a bust of Margaret Thatcher. In this strange theft, he sees a hint of what is really obsessing him: Moriarty's inheritance.
But the trail may lead to a troubling discovery about Mary's past.

favourite moments Sherlock Holmes BBC season 4 episode 1My favourite moments

  • The introductory scene: an astounding meltdown between Holmes brothers -exhilarating !
  • Lestrade is touched and happy: for the first time in five years, Sherlock could remember his first name ! (well, with a little help from John)
  • The bad person character is interesting, rather realistic: someone easily ignored and nevertheless skilled.

What do we learn ?

  • Sherlock eats ginger cookies as a substitute when he is in a period of withdrawal
  • His opinion on religion is the same than of love: irrational, stupid and useless
  • Mary's past resurfaces
  • John is almost cheating his wife

As a whole, despite astonishing graphic images editing and good second roles, it's not a big episode for me. Probably because the end was supposed to be a critical moment, a strong emotional one, but a complete WTF for me. 
How comes than someone has got the time to throw itself before a bullet, in a fraction of second? 
And has you ever seen such a talkative dying person?
A final completely missed for me... A pity, but the rest of the episode is not bad at all.
