faked his death with a doll, it was a hilarious scene and it was nice to see Moriarty again.
Me and my sister had a discussion about his survival and as awesome and clever as it was we honestly don't think its the right way, then again we could be completely wrong and this post could have been a complete waste of my time because the way he does is very realistic and 100% plausible.
1)He jumps
2)Lands on a blow up cushion which is set up by his brother Mycroft and his homeless network
3) a body is thrown on the floor so that John can see it
4) John is knocked over by a bike
5) Sherlock replaces the corpse and places a ball under his armpit that hides his pulse (that is possible but it makes your arm feel weird afterwards)
Its all very real but what didn't make sense was why did Sherlock tell Anderson and not Watson, he explained to the obsessed follower who refused to believe that Sherlock was dead but why? I was thinking that maybe Sherlock gave him what he wanted, the answer from the man himself but that doesn't mean it was the correct one? I took into consideration the 13 possible outcomes on the roof so maybe... faking his death was one of them but could there have been more ways to do it? and from now there are 11 outcomes because we know of 2.
I just thought it was weird that he told Anderson and that it was in the first episode because I thought it might be a secret dragged on until the final episode or even the next series but as I mention before I could be wrong. Here are some things that I thought were weird
1) How did he know that Watson was going to stop running, was it trust? or was the taxi driver in on it as well, imagine what would have happened if John took a few more steps he would have seen it all.
2) the snipers- since Moriarty killed himself the assassins needed to be sure that Sherlock killed himself, how would they have known if he did? the only way I can think of is unless they had a good view of Sherlock to witness his death but does that mean they were blinded like John or did they see everything however that would have meant that the assassins would have had to kill Hudson and John so maybe they were in the dark like John
3) Why tell Anderson? your best and only friend has been grieving for 2 years and you don't even tell him how? instead you tell an obsessed fan who was clearly disappointed.
4) 13 outcomes! there were clearly other ways to escape death... what were they? and was Anderson told the correct one or was Sherlock keeping it all a secret.
I may be over thinking a lot of it but this plan could have easily gone wrong however even if this is the right way it was bloody good, it was clever and for some reason I never thought of it despite its simplicity. I originally thought that he jumped into the garbage truck because it drove away as he landed and to me that seemed a tad suspicious but I do agree that the people there were in on it and its definitely certain that Molly provided a corpse. For some odd reason I just feel that we may not have been told everything.
I am super excited about the new series, its going to be awesome with the introduction of the new villain the great Napoleon of blackmailing, Charles Augustus Magnussen, who is reportedly more menacing than Professor Moriarty. I am hoping for a bit more information about his death but other than that I loved the episode, it was exciting and pleasing and I cannot believe there are 2 episodes left -_- its a horrible thought knowing that we may have to wait another year or 2 depending on the duos timetable and whether a new series will be created, who knows!
I hope you enjoyed reading, this post may have been a bit far fetched or even pointless but I really wanted to talk about it, something doesn't seem right with it and I think that was triggered by 2 things, the fact that there were 13 outcomes I just want to know them all!! and other theories, looking around the web and in this episode a wide range of theories were revealed and it just seems we gave in too easily and another thing to consider is that Steven Moffat is very good at keeping secrets and annoyingly good at keeping us interested, just look at Doctor Who, for months we were teased about Trenzalore and the doctors name he could be using the same ingredients in Sherlock; or maybe not.
Its just a weak theory that is probably wrong but I thought I would get it out there other than that... The episode was fantastically funny and suspenseful leaving us wondering about the new villain, what's he going to do? but next week peaks Sherlock's most difficult challenge... being the best man.
Have a great week! and I will be back this weekend
Until Next time :)
