The Abominable Bride
3 Jan 2016 01:25 pmJust wanted to quickly post something about The Abominable Bride.
No spoilers - just two things.
One is that a lot of critics have been carping (not to say whingeing) about the stuff towards the end. Won't go into details, but wanted to say that the stuff that some people feel "spoiled" the episode was exactly the stuff that I found most exciting and which I most liked (okay, loved) about it.
So don't be put off by people who just wanted a cozy Victorian mystery as the Christmas special, because it's not like that at all and that's exactly what's truly great about it.
( 2nd thing under cut because it's spoilerish - no details but may give away a little of the plot direction )
Anyway, just wanted to say - because I've read a lot of tosh in the last day or so about this episode.
Which, by the way, I thought was simply brilliant and can hardly wait to see it again, so I've already ordered the dvd.
