![]() Toby Jones delivered a fantastic performance as Culverton Smith. I can't put my finger on why "How long have you worked here?" was so intimidating, but my skin crawled every time he asked that. He was positively chilling, as he vacillated so easily between normal and terrifying. The man was creepy beyond words.Ĭulverton: How do you catch a serial killer?Ĭulverton was a magnificent villain. ![]() We saw him confess to a room full of people that he drugged. The uncertainty of everything also applied to the mystery that Sherlock had to solve, that of the serial killer Culverton Smith.įrom the beginning, we knew that Culverton Smith was the villain, that he was a killer. I'm amazed that the writers continue to surprise me, especially in a show where I know every detail matters. So who is Euros? Why is she so terrifying? Is Euros actually their sister? Will Sherrinford turn out to be a place or someone else, or is that her first name and Euros her middle name? Heck, is she another misdirection? In Sherlock Season 3 Episode 3, "His Last Vow", during Sherlock's goodbye to John, he recounts to John the story of the east wind, a "terrifying force that lays waste to all in its path, that seeks out the unworthy and plucks them from the earth." ![]() Was that a memory?Įuros said that her name was Greek for "the East wind." So really, we've had hints of this happening since Sherlock Season 3, as this brings to mind a story that Mycroft used to scare Sherlock as a child. There's also the fact that during his conversation with her on the bridge, during his withdrawal attack, he had a flash of a child running through water with a dog that looked suspiciously like Redbeard. However, he casually dismissed it as "letting herself go" due to her trauma, and as such, we dismissed it too. Sherlock noticed that the woman in his living room was different from the pictures of Faith Walker, noted the difference in her hair, her weight. That gave us enough time to forget the finer details of her face, and accept the prominent round glasses, brown hair and cane as belonging to the same person.Įven when we had reason to pay attention, we were easily misdirected. The scene prior to her visit, where she's struggling to write the words down before she forgets, was deliberately blurry and unfocused.
