Probably the most disappointing episode I've seen. I'm not sure what's happened to this season, but the writing is really bad. Such a shame as I loved the programme to start.

A sloppy mess

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was like a compilation of mini-cases, four at least, that come across as badly-formed ideas slapped together haphazardly.
By the final act I felt like I was watching the Word Salad episode from "Boston Legal". Everything required a tedious exposition. From heat and melting paint, to worm species & appetites, to spaceship online strategy game, to bullet proof hoodies made of spider webs!
To ay nothing of the B plot where Sherlock's medical data is stolen, somehow used by an Irish man for paperwork forgery, and that all connects to a nemesis of Sherlock that I don't even remember.
Literally half the plots could've be snipped away and it would've been so much better.
