The Anderson version was definitely the real version. All the other explanations used a blue-ish grading for the scenes while the real explanation had regular colours.

Anderson version was the best version. Too bad it wasn't real

Eh? I'm not saying it's 100% real (more like 90%) but I'd say it's pretty much that.

...Course, I wouldn't mind it if Derren Brown did have a hand in it somehow.

So apparently not only was Watson's fiance Martin Freeman's real gf, Sherlock's parents were BC's real parents as well.

wow​

granuiad​

such baker​

very nurse

doge > cat​

likes to lie?​

Yep.

Moffat & Gatiss had Amanda in mind when creating Mary, so it's no coincidence. As for BC's parents, there was something about his mom at least being there for filming but no one knew what for.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I need more.

SUNDAY IS TOO FAR.

Another little detail I liked: Sherlock upgraded to an iPhone 5/5s this season. I like how regardless of everything else going on with him, he's got time to upgrade his phone.

It's a 5 (they were filming before the 5s came out) and yep, they did that in S2 when he was rocking a 4.

I laughed when they showed his text during the Anderson explanation. After being used to iOS 7, I laughed at the look of iOS 6.

HA. Totally forgot about that.

Well, he did throw away his phone during the rooftop scene, so might as well get the new version.

I wonder if he was thinking to himself while talking to John: "Hmm, fake my death and I'll probably be able to upgrade my phone after I clean up Moriarty's shit. Done." *tosses phone*

 

[Quick]

Sherlock had a Blackberry Curve (or Bold) for Series 1.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Sherlock had a Blackberry Curve (or Bold) for Series 1.

It's a BB Bold (9700).

 

[Exterminieren]

Another reason why Sherlock's explanation of the fall to Anderson was the real deal- it was the only one with the correct score over the top. The other two used different cues, but Sherlock's had the authentic Prepared To Do Anything from The Reichenbach Fall.

 

[VanquishUK]

Nope.

Spoiler

After he leaves Anderson realizes that he was lying.

"How would you know John would stand in that exact spot? And even if it were true, I'd be the last person in the world you'd tell it to." Or something to that effect.

Spoiler

Isn't it possible that the taxi driver was in on it too? He might have just stopped where Sherlock told him to.

 

[Quick]

It's a BB Bold (9700).

And Sherlock would pick the best Blackberry product line.

Nothing but the best, man...

Really good point. Why the hell did they have him say he didn't expect Moriarty to kill himself, dammit. I just can't get past that.

True. Then again, POI fans don't have to wait two goddamn years between cliffhangers.

So! How many people here are ready for this coming Sunday's episode?!

...I'm not completely sure I am just yet.

 

[Feran]

Let me rewatch 3.1 and get back to you.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I'll probably rewatch this Saturday. In the meantime, I'm listening to Pink Martini's Donde Estas, Yolanda? (which is the song for the restaurant scene)...

That's a tough one. Didn't John have to fight someone else off for it?

No. Basically the moment John tried to run for it, the bicyclist was there to knock him over intentionally.

He was referring to the taxi John commandeered once he realized Mrs Hudson wasn't shot. He had to shoo away a potential passenger by claiming he was police.

Gotcha. Serves me right in forgetting about that. Actually never got around to my rewatch of the previous seasons prior to S3 so last time I bothered watching Reichenbach was maybe... Four or five months ago?

Still, considering how much of London both Holmes seem to have their personal "spies" in, I wouldn't be surprised if over half the city could be mobilized in some shape or form with a simple text.

 

[War Peaceman]

It is ridiculous how good Rupert Graves looks in this. He is so slimy and awful looking in Death at a Funeral.

Yarly. Just look at the proof

I hid something in the url that you and Fiction won't approve of

Ahh the Wall of Shame and we're only one episode in... Such amaze. Much post. Quite fun.

Its good to be back. Terrific episode

 

[The Real Abed]

I just marathoned the entire series to catch up. So totally worth it. 10+ hours of goodness.

Cannot wait for sunday. And then next sunday. And then the sund-- aww... now I made myself sad.

Wait what wall of shame? and I'm in it?

I have been slow. Only reason I got so high in the other one was stretching it over a few years.

I meant back at Baker Street when John yelled "POLICE!" and got the other dude away from the cab, but I suppose either way it's conceivably possible.

 

[Altazor]

I wonder if Sherlock complained about the lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard after upgrading his phone.

yeah, stupid question

Guy has a memory palace, he doesn't need a physical sensation to remind him where the buttons are on his phone!

I actually replied to this earlier but short version: I forgot about it because I haven't seen RF in like 4-5 months.

In any case, given Sherlock & Mycroft's networks, they could feasibly mobilize a number of people with a text or something.

 

[Linkhero1]

Best thing about the episode were the fan fiction scenarios. I lost it at the Moriarty and Sherlock fan fiction. Can someone explain why Watson was kept out of the loop of Sherlock's death? I think they mentioned it in the ep but I missed it.

He didn't trust Watson to keep the secret. You know, being a blogger and all. Plausible deniability.
