Putting spoiler tags on my reaction as it hasn't come out in the US yet.

Spoiler!

Wow, what an episode. Didn't think they could match the twists of the previous season's finale, but they managed to do just that.

Magnussen was a tremendous villain in this one. Such a great acting job by Mikkelsen. Stomach turning really was a good way to describe him. I found myself throughout the 90 minutes actively rooting for somebody to put a bullet in him and amazingly Sherlock was the one to do it in the end.

Also good to see that Moriarty will be apparently returning (as I think there is much more the writers can do with that character, he fits this version of Sherlock so well) and that we'll only have to wait a year this time for the new season.
