I'm sticking to my theory that "the other one" Mycroft mentioned is a sibling but not necessarily a male Holmes...and that Janine is actually Moriarty's sister and is the one behind Moriarty's digital return!

Magnussen was a fantastic villain. Many viewers didn't seem to get the point that Sherlock being unable to outwit him was totally canon, but the fact that he shot him eventually didn't mean he managed to beat Magnussen, it was all about self-sacrificing by protecting John and Mary, that is keeping the promise made in the previous episode.

I think I had mentioned to Chani it would be a good twist of the tale to make Janine the twin to Moriarty back after the Beeb aired the finale; she's clever enough to be, I think.

I think PBS kind of dumbed down the live actor reveal-it had more shock value after waiting through the thankfully short BBC end credits to see Andrew, rather than just showing him right away. I had no clue what was coming, so was running through a few scenarios in my head but didn't think to see him onscreen. Though in hindsight, was that for the fans and not really meant to be a live Moriarty??

Mycroft acts likes the eldest. I don't think the Holmes family has an ancestral home anymore that the eldest child would be hanging around to look after, at least the attached home they were celebrating Christmas in looked like the family domicile.

Sherlock kept his promise, he did what was right instead of what would have been easier, turning away and waiting for someone else to do what had to be done. (which was canon,right?) In the long run, he could not have sat around and watched John's life be complicated by Magnussen holding Mary's fate in his horrendous hands. I think I am more dismayed by Mycroft protecting the bastard than anything, though it's quite possible Magnussen was blackmailing him too.
