For a split second I almost thought that they had caught Moriarty with his pants down as it were, and that he honestly wasn't expecting Sherlock to go to that apartment yet
I did too. Maybe that was what happened and he just IndyPloyed his way out of it?
Hi everyone! I think this is my first post in this thread although I've been following for a while.
It'd be really funny if John fainted when Sherlock revealed he wasn't dead.
When Moriarty first came out of that door and looked all frazzled, I thought they were going to reveal that the Journalist Lady was Moriarty. My immediate thoughts are always like that though, like in the last finale when John stepped out in the Swimming Baths I thought he was Moriarty. It didn't help that the video decided to start buffering for a few minutes there.

You speak of the forbidden art of internet streaming, that cannot be mentioned on this site.
It's legally available on the BBC website, though, with the iPlayer. However, nothing short of an UK IP address will allow you to see it. And it's not like you can just google up and download a free VPN software to have one, or something like that.
Let me explain! ...No, there is too much. Let me sum up!So I just finished watching the latest episode and I have to ask why is everyone on the internet screaming Downer Ending? Sherlock unsuprisingly lives. So what's the problem? Is it just because he won't get to see Watson until the next season? Anyway, I loved the episode even though I was never shocked by the "twist ending" finding it exorbitantly annoying.
You are displaying abnormally high compulsions to over-analyze works of fiction and media. Diagnosis: TV Tropes Addiction.Anyone think it's a clue that the person Moriarty had kidnap the kids was a Sherlock lookalike? I'm probably reaching too much.
I just saw the first two episodes on Sunday, so I'm going to unpack a bit, if I can gather my thoughts on them up after Reichenbach Fall knocked them out of me.
One thing about this three-episode season thing: With a big open and a big finish, the second episode slacks off a bit. It's not nearly as apparent in this season as it was last (I was pretty disappointed with The Blind Banker.)
Glad to see the "Sherlock HUD" was put to better use this season, though I thought some of them went too far. The guy sending off the text "A Jumbo Jet, Mr. Holmes..." by blowing a raspberry was the absolute worst. I'm on the fence about the lights in the station turning off so Sherlock can think. Sherlock and Irene walking around the scene of the non-crime was absolute brilliance. Paul Mc Guigan should direct all three episodes next season.
Grr, I had something about Irene Adler, but I forgot it.

Fresh-eyed movie blogThe meta was dumb.
That was Moriarty? With the sunglasses he looked more like Hugo Weaving.
Fresh-eyed movie blogI know that's a video of a man shooting himself in the head, but the most disturbing thing about it is the face he makes before doing it. It's not... human. Even his corpse has this weird "HAHA" kind of grin on it.
That's some good villain right there.
And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)Finally saw it. Pretty punch-drunk. One question emerges: what the hell was the purpose of the phone call, other than making me want to beat everything in the vicinity with a silver level, assuming I could see everything in the vicinity? I guess that unlike just about every other adapter who's used a final shot like that, they're going to do some serious work explaining themselves later on, and I hope to god that this is part of it.
Hail Martin Septim!Gonna assume you mean the lengthy phone call scene at the end.
Sherlock probably has a plan to prove himself, but he needs time in the shadows to set it in motion, much like what Moffat did with the Doctor in this season of Who. Either he intends for John's statement of his confession to put the rumors to rest, or for it to galvanize John's belief that Sherlock was everything he seemed to be, or both.

Maybe he has a hidden twin, or a lookalike?
Veeery unlikely they'd go with that, though, and I wouldn't like a cop-out coming from nowhere like that - just don't see that happening. There's one thing we haven't considered, though... There is no big clue we missed and Moffat is trolling. Again.
Yeaah, but a convernient corpse - not some random guy killed for the occasion.
edit:... Just had a truly awesome idea. Imagine Matt Smith as Moriarty.

You know how when the journalist lady said "there never was a Moriarty", did anyone else think, even for a second as I did, that they were going to go down the "Moriarty is not a man, but many men" route?
