The Ending to Sherlock was bad

I thank you for your arguments, SimplyE. To be honest, but not at all modest, I was almost given to considering that I had provided far too solid a case for the resolution in my opening round. But as Holmes himself states in the episode 'The Great Game' of the series, "People don't like telling you things. They love to contradict you," and thankfully it seems that that quirk of humankind has come to my aid - Sorry to be so condescending, but it's Holmes! And I must fit my lore in somewhere...But yeah, you're wrong. The ending was in fact bad. (And I meant the ending to the Holmes/Moriarty beef, sorry.)Brief Summary and Refutation of Hypnosis Argument Yeah, I'm actually right here. I'll expound though. See the first video here please. It's bad. It's a mix of the song Call me Maybe with clips of Sherlock and Moriarty together throughout Sherlock. But at 0:39 - 0:40 there's a very important scene as regards, well, what happened, that you must see. In this second we see Sherlock and Moriarty face to face, the sun at Sherlock's back shining into Moriarty's face. This is textbook hypnosis, or storybook hypnosis anyway, as per Hannibal Lecter and Clarice for one, but more relevant, as per Moriarty in his meeting with Inspect MacDonald in Doyle's 'The Valley of Fear,' the bright light shining into MacDonald's face all throughout the meeting. Indeed, it seems that throughout storyland the bright light offers much manipulative support, and thus this makes a good case for interpretting this ending to Sherlock as I would have it, rather my opponent. That is, hypnosis. But taking it further, there's all the suggestion that went with that bright light too, such as Holmes' claiming to be just the same as Moriarty when he very clearly wasn't. QED, it was hypnosis. (Also, yes I do actually like the Call Me Maybe video.)Refutation of Cadaver ArguemntWe see Holmes afterwards and he's very much alive. He couldn't have jumped off the building. I don't know what else to say here. Refutation of "YOLO 420 blaze it" ArgumentYOLOBLAZEITSWAG Refutation of "Holmes the Megalomaniac" Argument "Meh... It's possible."It's actually what I'm hoping for, because it's the only way the show can continue to own after that last episode. Refutation of "Freemasons" ArgumentOkay, I'll give you that one. Why the Episode was Good or at least not BadI'll just quote this from my opponent first off: "Not only does the final episode of Sherlock Season two present many questions for fans to ponder during the break, but also culminates with the final,probably final, showdown between two of the most brilliant people in the realistic fiction genre. One of the greatest things about this engagement, is that it does not even end when Moriarty is dead because the mess he left will most likely follow Holmes for the rest of his life, and test the few relationships he had made. All and all it was a brilliant finale that leaves fans in anticipating the next season." Now, I disagree with all of this. But of course it's also all subjective, so that sucks. IMO the questions suck, the showdown sucked, neither Holmes nor Moriarty were realistic (far from it), the future prospects of the show are awful and it's just bad. The show ended with Holmes telling Moriaty to kill himself and Moriarty killed himself. THEY REALLY DID GO THERE. Tacky and bad. No mystery, very little psychology, just pop culture, it was bad. It was bad.The final scene was literally Holmes telling Moriarty to kill himself and Moriarty killed himself. Okay, I've changed my mind. The ending owned. http://www.youtube.com...;Over to you, SimplyE...
