Sherlock

[Barmaid]

OK, so how did that work then?

[pastafreak]

But how could Moriarity be the one who fell-if that is what we are to think. His head was blown off-hard to hide that!

[firewatch]

ah but falling from that height would create enough extra damage to amtch and cover a gunshot wound

[Slapshot]

I'll watch it a night this week but it's the best houir and a half's concentration I get in a week...it is superb!

[Barmaid]

His head wasn't blow off though, the back of his head would have been a bit of a mess, but no one would tell, initially when he hit the pavement.

[pastafreak]

Hmmm...I'm still not *totally* convinced....his clothes would have had to be changed also.

[joko]

...either a cadaver from the morgue that she worked on or a latex mask etc, maybe fingerprints etc, and a fake paramedic crew...

the cyclist designed to stop john seeing him actually hit the floor... perhaps the shooters view was obscured by a bus?

not sure what stopped his fall though...?

[joko]

sherlock arranged the meeting place... he knew that moriarty would expect him to kill himself - thats why he tried to ruin him... he had the body etc set up in advance with the lab girl

[tiggerblue10]

I've just finished watching it (paused it while I was busy doing other things) and its all very confusing. Like others, I'll have to watch it again too. There had better be another series!

[Khandro]

The body on the pavement definitely was wearing Sherlock's overcoat, I saw the red stitching on the lapel buttonhole, - not easy to get a corpse into an overcoat ! but then Sherlock's capabilities are seemingly limitless. Does anyone agree that the choice of actor for Moriarty was a poor one? he seems to me to lack the depth required for the part.

[lynbrown]

Could the girl Molly in the lab have produced a clone of Sherlock?

[tiggerblue10]

I think Andrew Scott who plays Moriaty is quite good Khandro although I can't make out where his accent is supposed to be from.

[starone]

You really must accept that it is magic. That's what television is!! Don't bother to question it, you will find out eventually. Do you think it was his ghost standing at the side of the graveyard, watching?

[stuffah]

Sherlock jumps- we see him fall. However, we don't get a continuous cut all the way to the ground- because he never hits the ground. Instead he lands in the handy rubbish truck parked in front of the hospital. At the same time a body prepared by Sherlock and Molly is dumped out of the truck onto the pavement. We see the truck drive away, taking the real Sherlock with it. Elementary ;)

The only odd thing is that hitting Watson with the bike doesn't seem necessary- it would be most useful as the body hits the 'ground', but I guess he was too far away/his view was blocked anyway.

[joko]

andrew scott is irish. he played paul mccartney i think

i too doubted the casting...not sinister or enough 'megalomaniac' looking... but he wasnt too bad

[Sammy48]

Brilliant programme, keeps me interested from start to finish, and there is not many programmes that do that. Also love the music.

Shame it was the last one in the series tonight.

[TheOtherHalf]

I knew he wouldnt die but couldnt work out how it was done. Brilliant, but does that mean the end of the duo or will he pop up like Randall and Hopkirk ?

[NOX]

I can honestly say that I've never watched such a load of utterly unbelievable sh1te in my entire life and I'm glad I'll never biother to watch anymore- that was embarassingly bad.

[emmie]

how did sherlock second guess that moriarty would kill himself, because if he hadn't you have no story ending.

[emmie]

I loved it, as with the other episodes, hope they make some more, poor watson thinking his best friend was dead

[mikey4444]

I too hope that the BBC makes some more of these. If we can produce such good programs here in Britain, why do we have to import all that American crap for ?

Can I speak up for Martin Freeman here ? He is such a good actor. He can do more with a look than a lot of actors manage with a whole sentence.

Can't wait until the Hobbit opens !
