I feel like that theory about

Spoiler

the man at the end being Professor James Moriarty, whose son was Jim (Jr) Moriarty

has to be true.

Which depending on how it's done could be a teensy bit... disappointing.

It isn't. That's Charles Augustus Magnusson, King of All Blackmailers.

Loved how meta and self-aware this episode was. Fandom represent!

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.

The fan theory is that John's mourning was what was convincing Moriarty's network that Sherlock was really dead, and thus, stopping the kill order on Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, and John himself. Sherlock didn't want any chance of the knowledge that he was alive making his 'mourning' less realistic.

I'm fond of the big hat actually...

I wonder if we'll meet Harry? Could concievably be a bridesmaid.

Am I the only one who thought that Watson's fiancée was Jen from The IT Crowd?

Yes. They look nothing alike.

She was actually in the previous episode. Why would you think that?

My dad did but he has very bad eyesight. They look nothing alike.

Now we just need Sherlock to interact with Roy and Moss from IT Crowd.

I can see Roy being endlessly frustrated over how someone is called "Sherlock" in 21st Century Britain.

I am just thinking of Sherlock mocking Moss's hair. And then John investigates something at the headquarters for From Goth to Boss.

 

[War Peaceman]

I'd prefer to see Sherlock interact with Garth Marenghi and Dean Lerner.

"Thank goodness you're here Mr. Holmes, someone has stolen the internet!"

May as well tag this.

Shame they couldn't fit the explanation into the episode smoothly. They literally just stop in their tracks at the climax, insert the explanation which is not at all relevant at that moment, and then unpause. So awkward.

 

[Akahige]

Watched the latest episode twice, I really hope the next two aren't as disappointing and I really hope the over the top meta fandom crap stops at one episode.

 

[Beaniedude]

Watched it again.
My new theory of how Sherlock survived:
At the end John asks him how he did it. Sherlock replies that he is indestructible.
Clearly Sherlock is an immortal being! This explains how he can still be alive in modern day London even though it has been well documented that he was alive in the 19th century! Also it explains how he can solve all the cases so easily because he had already solved some variant of it 100 or so years prior.
Flawless!

So when is the new episode ?

So when is the new episode ?

8:30 tonight on BBC

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

8:30 tonight on BBC

I'm feeling pretty giddy right now.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Back at University, if my housemates make noise whilst I'm watching they may have to go the way of Sherlock, but without the clever escape clause...

BBC Iplayer don't fail on me again please

So, will this keep up the tradition of being a crappy second episode? The synopsis makes it seems it is another very character oriented episode like the previous one.

EDIT: Ok, the teaser convinced me.

 

[User 100115]

Shit I forgot I need to banish myself from the internet until later. Don't send out search parties unless I am gone until tomorrow, guys.

Can someone make a countdown thing for the new episode?

I don't think so, this time that weaker episode will be the first

50 minutes. I can keep updating this post every minute if you'd like.

How can that be possible when the first episode was awesome...

I love it, but it lack plot and I understand why some people dislike it.

I for myself think it was a necessary episode to make the characters grow and for that i love the first episode.

I think the one he gave at the end was it, but then again it felt so rehearsed. Sherlock would have been congratulating himself.

Then again, considering who he's confessing to, I'm sure he was in a way gloating.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Having breakfast but gonna disappear for a while.

See everyone afterwards.

see you on the other side, folks.

He could have just been showing off to Anderson how great he was. Just like the good old days!

See you fine folks later tonight. Time to go out for my wife's birthday. Then Sherlock for us both when we get back.

Impressions here seemed quite positive about that, although I ended up not liking that episode at all.

Nah, looks fun.

 

[petethepanda]

That grin :lol

 

[Yen]

Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've last seen Sherlock but this episode so far and the last one have been hilarious.

How would Sherlock

know about details like the cyclist, or that Watson took a pulse and on what arm, otherwise?

I think it was it, and the reaction was supposed to be us. "It's too simple".

 

[SuperSah]

This episode is boring and dragging.
