The Final Problem, Or: Rock Season
AT LAST, the thing our stupid faces have WANTED to say every time we've tried to say the name of this dumb show is UPON US, and NONE WILL BE SPARED. CAN Holmes and Watson survive the MALEVOLENT MACHINATIONS of the mysterious Moriarty? DID Mycroft rent that cabbie outfit or is it one of those things where if you masquerade as a hansom driver more than like three times a year, owning your own is just more cost effective? WILL the 1:15 Swiss Boy be on time? And Nick levels the most piercing question of all at himself, his cohost, the audience and the world: WOULD you download a dragon?
Oh also we examine the nature of fandom and its tendency towards toxicity as well as the narrative mechanics of reading a story that was supposed to be a finale while knowing that it wasn't, it's actually a really interesting episode and we're pretty proud of it.
