* BizarroEpisode: The episode leaves behind the show's usual 21st century setting, instead initially appearing to take place in the late Victorian setting of the original Sherlock Holmes novels. It is then revealed that the entire plot is in fact an elaborate construction in Sherlock's mind to try and figure out whether or not Moriarty could really be dead or not.

Only to then reveal that the modern part of the episode was the Victorian Sherlock's attempt at imagining what the world may look like a hundred years in the future.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: The militant Suffragettes. Either you think that they are sympathetic (and TruthInTelevision) and acceptable given the current state of gender politics, or you think it's sexist and it hurts the feminist cause. It's further complicated by the FridgeLogic that their methods wouldn't have done anything to help anybody but themselves, which makes hard to understand how they're supposed to help women in general, which the episode claims they are doing. At best they provide a mythology copycat killers can use to cover the murders of their own husbands (which is exactly what Sherlock suggests as the reason for further murders early in the episode). This however carries a dose of FridgeHorror, as there is also nothing preventing it from being misused to kill innocent people.
** Even once one thinks about it from the perspective of the whole thing being a ridiculous product of Sherlock's drug-addled hallucinations, the question is what that means itself- does this show Sherlock's deeply disturbed ways of thinking about women and complete lack of ability to relate to them in a way that makes sense, or is it just incredibly random and not meant to actually mean anything (all the drugs talking), or a combination or something else entirely?
