There is no way a genius like Sherlock would treat a gun like that. I mean, he’s literally scratching his head with it. He may walk on the wild side, but he’s not an idiot.
I watched this again the other night to prepare myself for Reichenbach Falls, when suddenly it hit me.
Where on earth did Sherlock get a gun from, anyway? Not John, definitely.
And then it hit me:
OH.
MY.
GOD.
HE’S BLUFFING!!!!
(via not-a-tardis)
Sometimes I let myself imagine they had Sherlock throw his phone away just so he’ll need to borrow a phone all over again the next time he “meets” John.
Thats why I dont think he recorded Moriarty on his phone.
(via not-a-tardis)
I can almost hear him shouting “Sherlock!” in the last gif…
Three years of thinking Sherlock was dead.
This is breaking my heart.
oh god.
Ouch.jskædjg I’m in pain.

All your Reichenbach theories are now invalid. HOW COULD WE HAVE MISSED THIS ONE?
ALL THE FUCKING AWARDS EVER

#His Face Always Gets Me #Like He Just Realized How He Makes Molly Feel. #How She Has Even Started To Think That She Doesn’t Count. #This Scene Is Completely Amazing. #Breathtaking.
It’s so well acted…
Can I be a wet blanket here?
I think the idea was for us to think that^ at this scene. Reinforced by the emotionally loaded “What do you need? -You” further into this episode. But I think this is bait (I won’t go into how there are so many forced intentions for the viewer to lay eyes on Sherlock+anyonebutJohn in this series, but I will say this:)
I think this is Sherlock’s face while he realizes “you are right, you don’t count. I don’t think you do. SO… Moriarty wouldn’t think you count either.” And that’s the exact moment when Sherlock plans his face-to-face with Moriarty on the roof of the hospital. If Moriarty had thought Molly counted, he would have added her to the list of Sherlock’s friends and there would have been a fourth sniper. But he didn’t, because Molly is actually right when she says she doesnt’ count. Paradoxically, the exact moment she says so, she becomes the most important piece of the Sherlock’s plan for defeating Moriarty and surviving it. (How he did that is another story and I genuinely have NO IDEA what they’ll come up with. But I’m sure Molly was very much important in that plan)
Less romantic, I know, but I think the reason why Sherlock was “sad” as Molly says is because he hadn’t yet figure out the whole fake-my-own-death plan.
So…
What they said.

FACT: It was all planned.
Sherlock knew all along that one day the danger would be so great that would involve his death so he would have to fake it somehow, and of course he would use his brother’s help, who worries for him constantly.
Mycroft would’ve never sold his little brother out, they together agreed to give Moriarty anything he wants… of course they had to make John believe otherwise.
And that is why Mycroft always called John instead of Sherlock, so John would start to doubt Mycroft, he should’ve doubt Sherlock too, but that didn’t happen, even when he told him that he lied all this time.
It is also obvious that it was planned, because Sherlock is the one who called Moriarty and told him where they should meet. It was perfect because there was another building in front of the hospital to block the view to John when he sooner or later would’ve come.
There are a few times when Sherlock looked down, to see if there is the truck that should be there so he could jump in. There wasn’t so he took time and talked to Moriarty. But then Moriarty shot himself and Sherlock panicked, because that wasn’t in the plan, and had to act fast.
Then John arrived and he made that phone call and lied to him so John would loose his trust in him and would start to (let’s say) hate him and go on with his life, except that didn’t happen.
The truck arrives and Sherlock jumps, at the same time a bicycle runs over John.
Now, the body. At the beginning of the episode there is that dummy pending in the middle of Sherlock and John’s living room. If watched closely, dummy’s cheek-bones are identical as Sherlock’s, and dummy’s expression look a lot like Sherlock’s when he’s “dead”, and the scar is the same.
The dummy is also tall, maybe almost or exactly like Sherlock.
Mrs Hudson at the funeral complained about Sherlock keeping bloody specimen in the fridge, so with a little help (or not) with all the specimen and bodies he kept, he could’ve make that dummy look more like a human.
So, when John was ran over by the bicycle, Sherlock (or his people) put there the dummy.
He also asked that favour to Molly, she works in a mortuary and could provide him blood and the scene of his death could look real.
So, with all that it could take nothing to fool John who was also losing his senses because of the bicycle ‘incident’.
So all of a sudden it struck me that I’ve been more successful at getting people to notice an upside-down water bottle in Scotland Yard than I’ve been at getting them to notice the mole Jim Moriarty planted in Scotland Yard.
I should probably try harder. By which I mean draw yellow circles around him like I did the water bottle.
Attention fandom: This guy is a kidnapper and a crooked cop. He messed with Donovan’s head and was going to shoot Lestrade if Sherlock didn’t jump. (Long version here.) And he probably knows how to flip the water bottle onto the cooler, but doesn’t do it because he likes to see everyone else suffer. Just sayin’.
OH MY GOD
HIPSTER HITMANNNN
Guys, I think we found Sebastian ….
[I absolutely have to post this one right now, because thefrailtyofgeniusisaudience, october-the-xmas-octopus, and I are clearly right on the edge of becoming a hive mind. This is beautiful fandom madness!]
The Reichenbach Fall was clearly all about fairy tales, and they mentioned fairies in The Hounds of Baskerville as well. Given Arthur Conan Doyle’s well-known connection to fairies, THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE.
Jim Moriarty was the one who brought up fairy tales. In the original stories, Moriarty’s called “James,” not “Jim.” Moffat and Gatiss know the canon really well, so why would they call him “Jim” UNLESS IT WAS A CLUE?
Jim carved “IOU” into an apple, which is of course connected to fairy tales as well through Snow White. IT ALL FITS TOGETHER, PEOPLE.
The only letter in “IOU” that’s also in “JIM” is the “I.” Remove the “I” from “JIM,” and you’re left with “JM.” HANG ON, BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT TO GET AMAZING.
Sherlock didn’t seem to like fairies when he was talking about Bluebell. But we know that Jim and Sherlock were mirrors for each other, so if Jim liked fairy tales Sherlock must like something that’s similar but different. What are fairies? Little winged creatures. AND WHAT LITTLE WINGED CREATURES DOES SHERLOCK HOLMES FAMOUSLY LOVE?
That’s right: bees! Or if we follow the obvious clue that “I owe you” = “IOU,” then we know that “bee” = “B.” Combine “B” with the word “fairy” and you get “bairy.” Say it out loud. DO YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING?
“Bairy” sounds like “Barrie.” Put the “JM” from earlier with it, and you get “J.M. Barrie.” That’s right, the author who was friends with Arthur Conan Doyle. THIS IS A HISTORICAL FACT.
Now, if you want proof that they went to all this trouble to hide references to J.M. Barrie, then all you need to do is think about the other thing they went out of their way to reference twice in Series 2: pirates. They mentioned pirates in A Scandal in Belgravia and in The Hounds of Baskerville. Two references to fairies and two references to pirates. What story by J.M. Barrie is known for having both pirates and fairies? PETER PAN.
And what is Peter Pan famous for? Two things. First, being the boy who won’t grow up. JUST LIKE SHERLOCK.
The second thing Peter Pan is famous for is being able to fly. And Jim (or should I say “J.M.”) said flying is just like falling. Sherlock fell, which meant he actually flew. SHERLOCK IS PETER PAN.
So if we think about how Peter Pan flew, then obviously that will tell us everything we need to know about how Sherlock survived his “fall” (a.k.a. flight). IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE.
Everyone knows Peter Pan flew with the help of pixie dust. “Pixie dust” is also the nickname of a substance made from pig bladders that can help regrow human tissue. It’s being tested on soldiers wounded in Afghanistan. Sherlock’s best friend is an army doctor who was wounded in Afghanistan. THERE IS NO WAY SHERLOCK HADN’T HEARD OF THIS DRUG.
SHERLOCK DIDN’T SURVIVE THE FALL. He jumped, and died. But he had asked Molly for a favor, remember? That favor was to give him a whole bunch of powdered pig’s bladder, which allowed all of Sherlock’s damaged tissue to regrow and bring him back to life. Which is how we saw him looking good as new in the cemetery.
THEY HAD ALL THE CLUES HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT THE WHOLE TIME. I LOVE HOW CLEVER THIS SHOW IS! BRING ON SERIES 3!!!
How do I EVEN.
(via achelseabee)
the absolute worst thing
would be if moffat and gatiss were trolling about season 3
and it’s not happening
they’re not making it
and sherlock’s really dead.
Okay, as promised, the big clue in Reichenbach Fall to which Moffat alluded.
It’s there. Look at it. Rather, don’t look at it because it’s not there. Do you see?
Suicide. Suicide! That proves tha-… you don’t see it, do you? Okay, let’s back up.
This is The Sun. The media’s been
hounding Holmes for a while now. Moriarty set up a story where Sherlock would be shamed, humiliated and killed. True to this plan, Sherlock commits “suicide”. But here’s the thing. He commits suicide on the same roof on which Moriarty killed himself. To any basic person walking onto the scene, they would see the body of Holmes and the shot body of Richard Brook, his hired actor.
Read the headline again. Suicide of Fake Genius. Not “Murder-suicide”. Not “Holmes kills Brook and then self”. Nothing. No reference to a second dead body. Not one. Why would they skip that? Why would they skip the chance to say Sherlock and his unwilling cohort died on the same roof at the same time?
Think back to Watson, to Hudson, and to everyone else. No one mentions Moriarty. None of them know at all. No one talking about Moriarty, no one discussing it, nothing. There’s only one logical conclusion here: No one knows he’s dead. Why would no one know he’s dead? Because he wasn’t there. Why would there be no body? Because it was moved.
Barring the idea that a henchperson carried away his body, Moriarty is still alive.The missing clue isn’t how Sherlock lived. It’s that they both lived. See you in Series 3.
