I watched this series in its entirety on network TV back in the day and now rewatching it. The actors are rock solid, equal only to "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." The best the writers could do was having Moriarty's gang kidnap the daughter of a Greek businessman to force him to kill Macedonia's favorite son and his wife so she can win a huge bet on Macedonian currency. If that wasn't enough, Sherlock figured it out and then he, Joan and all of NYPD Major Case are ALL on their way to stop the assassination...but they don't. The dead couple's security guard made it happen but apparently only Sherlock knows he works for Moriarty. The saving grace is that Sherlock tricked Moriarty and got the last laugh. I can only think the writers were struggling to agree on the major storyline for this episode and ran out of time to improve upon it. Still a great series.
