The only one I didn't like as much was 'The Blind Banker' one, with the Black Lotus crime syndicate. I actually liked the toned-down original unaired pilot of 'A Study in Pink' the most.

@1488bill Ah! See I love The Blind Banker, more so than The Great Game. I just really like the pacing and dynamics even though there are massive plot errors and out of character slip ups. Like John abandoning someone he is supposed to protect just to see if Sherlock is okay. I get it, Sherlock is your best friend, but dude, military training, PROTECT CIVILIANS. *shrugs* The original pilot is a lot of fun, similar to Granada Holmes but I dont like the Cabbie vs Sherlock scene in that.

Looking forward to this one - sounds like the darkest episode yet ...

Still haven't found it online though.

@1488bill Try having a search on tumblr. They usually have several options. I watched it on the BBC iplayer so sorry I can't be more help! Good luck!

@Willish Hey, thanks for replying back. I tried Tumblr and VeeHD with no luck. Previously, I found all the others on StageVu : A Scandal in Belgrade and A Study in Pink are my favorites. You must be a REAL "Night Owl" to be up this late in the U.K. !

@1488bill Im in Australia actually so I wake up at 6:30am make sure that the net is good to go and then stream away. So it works out to be about 7:30am when I watch the episode but I am a night own in general anyway so you weren't wrong.

My take on the cigs and drugs thing: First, when he talks about paying people off, I understood they were talking about people who might sell him cigs. Second, Sherlock had a smoke the previous episode, that WOULD make an ex-smoker's resolve to quit crumble a bit. Last, this COULD be happening after Moriarty's trial, since its never clear how much time goes by between the theft and the end, but the last scene suggests it could be after, and Sherlock could be more emotional if so.
