--- Quote from: Meryl on May 22, 2012, 10:49:57 pm ---I just watched a repeat of the show. Somehow, Sherlock faked his suicide, with the help of Molly.
Another small thing. Moriarty shakes hands with Sherlock before shooting himself. The assassins that saved Sherlock's life both touched him before they were shot.

Rumors have been flying since the show aired in the UK in January.
In his live chat, Moffat has been hinting that Sherlock has all he needs in the episode to show how he saved himself. But people have also said Moffat is a troll and likes to mislead fans. Still no one can figure it out without jumping the shark. Rumors are about dopplegangers, a switch with Moriarty's body, landing on a cushion on a truck roof parked in the bus lane 20 feet away, while Molly dumps a dead body dressed like Sherlock out the window where John and the sniper can't see, just ridiculous stuff that I'd hate to think will actually prove to be the case.
Why couldn't they have just used a waterfall like in the original ACD story? >:(
Yes we love this series, and want to make sure it's done right.
I can't imagine how the body got ID'd as Sherlock's without Molly doing the post-mortem, though she's not a pathologist and is just a lab tech and would have no way to fix the records. Unless Mycroft helped, since he would be the next of kin to ID the body and claim it at the morgue. But considering how he completely fucked up his brother's life, I wonder that he would dare show his head.
Anyway, lots of questions, don't see much of a way out without it being a groaner.
Meryl:
Interesting theories, but who knows. It's fun to speculate. But I definitely think there's a point when Sherlock knows he'll have to fake his death and goes immediately to Molly to hatch something, so we'll see.

i always wondered too about the original story, when he jumped off the gorge and took Morierty with him. If there was some
other way it was going to end. If there was another story somewhere to change it all. I don't really believe it, but as with Watson, I was always hoping it would turn out differently. Show us one more trick Sherlock, just one more.

I recall reading somewhere that ACD really did want to kill off his creation--he was thoroughly sick of Sherlock--but somehow even "back then" the fan uproar was so great that he was more or less forced to bring Sherlock back.

The series final and I am sure more of the others as well are now available on Itunes, for $19.00
I think I may purchase those, I love this series of books, and this series of televion shows has been wonderful. I will then be
able to revisit it at my leisure.
