Was it all a dream? I don't know, don't much care. There were some good comic moments, and how they made Mycroft look like he was 400 pounds was really good work. The repartee between brothers was good too. But the main thrust of the story was lame. I hope they don't do this kind of thing again. They also used some mechanisms one does not see often, such as seeing the event as it's being related after the fact. I liked the camera work, and they worked hard to get the costumes and locales right. In other words, good production values. But, alas, the positives cannot make up for a story that, in the end, one does not understand what the point of it was. Perhaps it's just me, but I hope in the future they stick to more traditional story-telling.
