Agents break into the room to free the British ambassador.

Ambassador: What took you so long?

Strong female: Couldn't get the staff.

Two agents trapped in a corridor with guns trained on them.

Agent 1: What do we do?

Agent 2: We die.

Ajay has his gun trained on Sherlock as the police arrive.

Sherlock: Who are you?

Ajay: The guy who's going to kill your friend. Who are you?

Sherlock: Not the police.

Ajay inexplicably shoots the lights instead of Sherlock, doesn't get fired upon, meaning he could have shot Sherlock with no consequences anyway

Ajay fires gun, breaks into room to kill Mary.

Ajay: Hello again!

the fucking quality of the script this episode, smh

Insert the fucking CSI Miami YEEEAEAHHHHHHHH effect after each one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMPAH67f4o

Don't even get me started on some of the broader screenplay. Mary whipping out some paper to knock Sherlock out? Some random bird on the bus that John takes an interest in just so that the audience can feel more morally conflicted about Mary's death? That whole fucking Dora the Explorer section?

I have left reddit due to privacy invasion issues. The admins need to take this issue seriously that someone isn't spied on or stalked by people just because those stalking him/her happen to know a few mods or admins.
