God, Sherlock had so much potential but it was fucked up so badly. The Mofftiss Dracula "adaptation" was pure liquid tit as well, and for similar reasons.Sadly I can't find a clip of it, but he had a similar moment the same year on DWTS AU
Someone was dressed as Freddie Mercury, with a chest rug to put Vito's to shame. Craig said something about wardrobe going overboard with ridiculous fake chest hair that looked like it was trying to devour him, but it wasn't fake

I 100% agree she was miscast and totally unbelievable as a deadly superninja, the ice cold thing was right up her street though
Honestly the shark jump moment for me was the solution for how Sherlock survived the Fall. He set up a big blue airbag right in front of Jim and all his snipers, but Jim conveniently shot himself before he could see it, and Mycroft easily got rid of all the snipers with one phone call but Sherlock still had to convince John he was dead for 3 years anyway.
It was plain they either hadn't written any conclusion and just wanted the exciting cliffhanger moment and didn't care there'd never be a satisfying resolution, or they had initially written a more believable answer but some fans guessed it correctly during the hiatus so they threw their toys out of the pram and made up a new ending just to say no one had predicted it.
Then it only got worse and worse with the 'Mary's actually an assassin who saved Sherlock's life by surgically shooting him but he still died for a minute anyway and she still tried to kill him again later but she's still good... or is she?' tit
I loved some of the characters on that show but God the writing was hilarious at times at that's without even getting into the unspeakable mess of series 4
BUT, this is a Strictly thread so that rant can go elsewhere!
Any late guesses for songs/mentally scarring themes (Witch Doctor *shudder*) for Halloween? Who's going to end up in a furry costume?

....oh yeah it was!
