I was just wondering if anybody on here watches the BBC television show "Sherlock". If not, I strongly suggest that you do because It's a pretty amazing show!

It's so good. Too bad there are only 6 episodes. It sounds like there is going to be a 3rd series though!

The writing was a bit too cheeseball for me. I couldn't keep going when they ended the second episode on a freeze frame of Holmes and Watson bounding toward camera. I felt like they should have been clicking their heels.

Heard season 2 is supposed to be better though. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

There are actually a lot of hints/clues that show how he did it. Re-watch it or look it up on youtube (worth it)

Probably one of the best renditions of Sherlock Holmes ever made. The actors are incredible.

Sherlock threw down Moriarty's body before Watson arrived. When Watson approached the hospital, Sherlock was busy keeping him behind the small building so Watson can't see the dead body. Then Sherlock kept him busy until the biker arrived. He then jumped into the truck which was waiting at the bus stop - out of sight of Watson - and was obviously filled with garbage bags. Watson runs towards the scene, gets knocked down by the biker, who was part of Sherlocks homeless network, and now - half conscious, seeing a dead body on the ground - believes what he just had seen, that Sherlock jumped of the building into his own death. Sherlock leaves in the back of the truck in the meantime.

to add to that....

Sherlock begins planning this the night before. He picks the meeting place. He gets Molly to help him fake his death ect. there is a chalked out line where the truck needs to be parked. you can see the truck only briefly before it pulls up and away.



There is a scene where Sherlock is bouncing a black rubber ball. Magicians use this to cut off circulation and hide pulse by holding it under their armpit. this is how Sherlock fools the people who check his pulse.

^read that from an interview with the director of the series mind=blewn

Yeah, it's just one of the theories I have.

The writers are far more creative and ingenious than you or I am, so guessing is most likely futile, but I'm sure they have something amazing explaining what happened. Really looking forward to season 3.

Molly is definitely a central figure in it.

If Moriarty's dead I'm going to kill someone. Easily my favorite villain of all time.

I know right? I could see them bringing him back somehow... maybe that pistol had a blank in it?

Yeah, they never did show any evidence of him actually being dead.
