PBS "Sherlock Holmes" Updated for the 21st century
Marina:
I know, it's like everyone can see that they are a couple. :)
I liked this episode too - a more traditional Sherlock Holmes story update. Sherlock also seems to be gaining just the tiniest bit of sensitivity to others' feelings? :) I love him.

OK, anyone understand the last episode of this season? ???
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
What is Moriarty's motive? He has absolutely NO reason to kill himself.
How in the world did Sherlock fake his death? I know the thing with Molly is a hint, but he didn't switch bodies on the roof, he actually did fall and that was too far a fall to survive without serious injuries. Did they not have an open casket funeral? John knows a dead body when he sees one.
Was Moriarty pissed off because Sherlock WAS actually smarter than him? And just as amoral? Sherlock was a 'doofus' not because he couldn't figure out Moriarty, but because Moriarty wasn't as smart as Sherlock expected him to be? He was expecting Moriarty to be some genius criminal, but he wasn't? Is that why Moriarty killed himself?
I can't believe Lestrade would EVER doubt Sherlock. He was right too many times with just cold explanations of people that were right. He can't have 'faked' that.
I love how John NEVER doubted Sherlock.
While the reporter/actor thing was clever, the woman was a crappy 'investigative reporter' because she accepted a notebook full of easily faked 'documents' as evidence Richard Brook was an actor.
I do love how Mycroft was used to destroy his own brother. I can't imagine how Sherlock could ever forgive him. BTW, where was Mycroft for the funeral?
Any help guys?

Me too - this is my favorite episode so far, and now we have to wait till next season for the answers!
I think Molly is involved too in the faked death(s), but I'm still considering this episode. I have to watch it again.
I love when Sherlock says "I may be on the side of the angels, but I am not one of them". Benedict is great, and so is Martin! :)

I think it's my favorite as well. It's puzzling. I'll have to watch it many more times to try to think it through.
I do love the beginning where Sherlock is following John's lead on everything,
Sherlock: "Diamond cufflinks, all my shirts have buttons..."
John: "Say thank you."
Sherlock: "Thank you."
Lestrade: "We all pitched in..." [and got a deerstalker hat]
Crowd: "Put it on, put it on!"
John: "Just get it over with."
Sherlock puts the hat on
I even like John's protectiveness of Sherlock when he has to go to court and testify and has to run the gauntlet of press.
Meryl:
I hope I can catch a repeat of this episode. It all goes by so fast, and there are so many details to consider.
Just a thought, but when the little girl screamed at the sight of Sherlock, there was something said about an idea having been planted in her by the kidnapper. What if the last bit was all some sort of hallucination? At any rate, if Sherlock is alive, I'm sure Moriarty is, too. Also, Moriarty would be a fool to get rid of the one person who can appreciate his machinations.
