Sherlock, Season 3, Ep 2: The Sign of Three -- WTF??? (Open Spoilers)

I fast-forwarded through most of it. I like the characters for the most part, but man, the stories suck.

Putting Sherlock in an ordinary situation like a wedding was entertaining. I liked the part where he bonded with the little boy over crime scene photos.

The disaster was when we find out how much Sherlock is a plaything for Mycroft.

I remember at the time thinking of S3 was a kind of triptych - IIRC, the middle panal (E2) represented amusing/whimical Sherlock.
