The Ending to Sherlock was bad

"I apologize for a subjective conclusion, but it is almost impossible to have a completely objective argument."Meh. Our job was actually to hammer a bit of objectivity into the subjective which we pretty much completely neglected in arguing about what actually happened in the show instead. But I'm sure we've left some insight to our conclusions along the way so it's not so bad. And we do still have this round. Moriarty got hypnotized like a bitch: Holmes reaction wasn't actually very severe and didn't actually last very long at all. It was over by the time Moriarty hit the ground for sure, very plausibly all just an act to spur Moriarty along. And then considering the genre and the history of hypnosis throughout it, and that the scene is highly suggestive of hypnosis (lol), I'd say we can safely conclude Moriarty did in fact get hypnotized. Refutation of Cadaver ArgumentThe point is there's very little mystery there. He either used a cadaver or faked his own dead body otherwise. Or maybe he hypnotized Watson or something, but this still isn't very intellectually stimulating. The debate: Unfortunately, the object of this debate wasn't to argue about what happened in the show, but to argue over whether the show was good or not. And we have neglected this. Fortunately, however, there is considerable overlap, as interpretation of something of course plays a huge part in the valuing of that something, and so we're not too badly off. Basically, my arguments for the show being bad have been: 1) lack of mystery; 2) bad taste; and 3) that it's just bad. My opponent's arguments have been rather the inverse - basically: 1) that the show generated considerable mystery; 2) that it was realistic; and 3) that there's a lot of places left for it to go. And I guess I'll now give a more comprehensive run through the above. 1) Lack of MysteryThere is very little mystery. Sherlock either threw a cadaver off a roof or faked his death otherwise. And he hypnotized Moriarty. If Moriarty remains alive in the next season, well then the creators are basically admitting their last episode was retarded and unrealistic. You tried to hypno-kill Moriarty? Really Sherlock? How much of a f*cking megalomaniac are you. I mean first there was Irene Adler and now THIS? Seriously guys...2) Bad TasteSherlock told Moriarty to kill himself and he did it. Pop culture and bad. James Bond has never went "boo!" and had all the villains scatter before them. Nobody would watch that. Sherlock just wrapped his doing so up in pseudo-intellectualism so it's less conspicious, but he still did the exist same thing. I'm a Holmes fan for the mysteries and a James Bond for the action. Good job, Skyfall.Also, Sherlock told Moriarty to kill himself and he did it. 3) It was bad Nothing more really to say here. I enjoy saying things are bad. The Subjectivity of it all:Of course, everything I've said is a matter of opinion. It's all subjective. Where I see no mystery, SimplyE sees mystery. Where I see bad, SimplyE sees good. And there is no formula we can fit Sherlock into to gauge objective value. So the debate will be won solely on taste pretty much. Here I make appeal to the intelligent and die-hard Holmes fans since long before Sherlock: What a pseudo-intellectual load of sh*t. To fans of Moriarty's character in the show (he was awesome): Look at how they had him go! And if you think Moriarty lives on: You're basically calling Sherlock a big retard. There is no ending besides the obvious. There cannot be. If there were, the belittlement would be criminal, an affront to the eternal Holmes, unacceptable. And so I rest my case. It's down to you now, voters. Do Holmes proud!Aside (not to be considered with regards to voting): The show actually owns. Lol Sherlock said "kill yourself, Moriarty" and Moriarty killed himself. Awesome ending. And I'd like to thank SimpyE for accepting the debate. It was fun, dude. And I'm glad to see you have an appreciation for this awesome show. You got this, man ;D
