Sherlock: The Reichenbach Fall
SPOILERS. More incoherency than usual.
Mum keeps saying, "At least you know he's alive." Like that makes it better.
It doesn't. Because John is on his own and he is fucking broken.
I am having shakes that have nothing to do with Mystery Illness #327. I actually am having trouble typing. Let alone forming coherent sentences.
I was, you know, OK. Considering. Until John lost it at the gravestone, Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry. But John has always been my favourite. He has. And he is so hurting. And it is so cruel and me knowing Sherlock is alive does nothing to help that. Or stop it. Or anything.
Also, I did not think they were going to start the episode there, but my God it was effective. Loved it. Great opening. John in pieces with his therapist, yes. (If it didn't make my throat close up, I would be all over that because the rest of the time he's so strong and solid and - yeah.)
SHERLOCK CRYING. ON THE ROOFTOP.
And MORIARTY BEING A DICK AND SHOOTING HIMSELF, THE BASTARD.
... God, I don't think I'll ever recover from this.
I kept looking at the clock all the way through this episode, just waiting for The Big Thing, and thinking 'But we're only 30mins in, it's OK'; 'OK, we're an hour in, ohgod ohgod'; 'FIFTEEN MINUTE FIFTEEN MINUTES OH GOD IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN A SECOND, AAAAUUUUUGH!!!'.
I was actually sobbing uncontrollably by the end. (As I said, John breaking by the grave. That reflection in the gravestone. *sobs again*) (Fun fact: I don't generally cry tears at sad things in TV/films, but by God I sob. It is ridiculous. I do cry at happy things, though. I think my tear ducts are wired up wrong when it comes to fictional things. :P)
WHEN DO WE GET MORE I WANT MORE WHEN DO WE GET ANOTHER SERIES, PLEASE MESSERS MOFFAT AND GATISS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Mainly, I want to know how the actual fuck Sherlock pulled that off. Things I can infer: the dude on the bike was almost certainly paid to knock into John (so that he wouldn't see a body-switch?); Molly is somehow in on it (whether she knows it or not) (Sherlock asked for her help, and she works in a mortuary; it's a pretty simple equation to solve, actually, that one). Other than that? I AM STUMPED, please tell me Messers Moffat and Gatiss, please please please my brain is going to stew on this OMFG.
... I don't think the 'squee' tag is particularly appropriate. I need s tag that goes more like this: 'my heart just got ripped out of my chest and stomped on'.
On the plus side: I can now write that post-Reichenbach fic I had ideas for! \o/
