Like it has been said, episode 2 was NOT written by either Moffat or Gatiss hence the not-so-good story...
The cliffhanger was unexpected but at least when I saw the series on TV (in early September in Canada) we knew by then that a second season had been approved... the British had not known it when they watched episode 3 in July...
Personally I loved episode 3 for the pool scene and that brief moment when you can see that for a minute Sherlock felt betrayed thinking JOHN was Moriarty and behind all this until John revealed the Semtex underneath his coat... but episode 3 was very talkative and was a bit harder for me to follow all the deductions. For that, episode 1 is my favorite.
Episode 2 I only liked the scene with the Sherlock holding John's head and trying to help him remember what he saw on the wall (I hope to god you downloaded the series not watched the PBS version or else you won't know what I am talking about since PBS cut it like many other scenes they cut).
As for fanfiction, there are great stuff over there.
