Thanks. I wrote down my other thoughts about the episode in my first review but then realized it was fast becoming incoherent, so I thought I'd compile everything here to see if I'd missed anything. :)
I love all your theories, too. I read a spoiler before I saw "Reichenbach" that "there's more to Molly than meets the eye" or something and was pleased because I thought it meant she was actually Moran/Moriarty. But regardless of whether she is or not, at least she gets more screentime now! :D
I was wondering why Mycroft/Sherlock were fighting when they seemed to get along so well in "Hounds." But now I think that Sherlock deduced that Mycroft had given away his history to Moriarty and was angry with him.
Ohhh, duh *facepalm*. Thanks very much for the correction; I've edited it, lol.
...so whatever the answer turns out to be it's certain to be good.
I'm sure there will be some ridiculously simple explanation that no one has thought of, just like the non-explosion. But I really want to know...sigh. Too obsessed with this show. :)
Sherlock Could of asked molly to drain blood from a body. And then bring a body to the the roof, dress the body like sherlock and then throw the body off the roof and into the waste disposal truck then sherlock could run out from the garage and pour the blood on his forehead and hair and then put some on the pavement and then fake his death. And you have to admit that the people with the stretcher came out awfully quickly don't you think?
Ooh, interesting theory. The people definitely showed up suspiciously quickly.
My only issue is that to me it definitely looked like Sherlock was the one who jumped. He could have jumped and also simultaneously pushed a body or a dummy or whatever off, but we didn't see something like that.
Obviously, that could still have happened, it just that we didn't see it. Perhaps they're expecting viewers to act like they've been Hounds-drugged too, though. :D
This is probably so not important, but I found it odd that Sherlock actually sings to Moriarty when he says "I've got you". Made me think of the song "I've got you, under my skin." Nice list!
Whoa, I had totally forgotten the singing, despite the fact that I giggled when he actually did (and found it incredibly sexy). Good point, very good point. Very out of character. I'll add it to the list. :)
I totally didn't even pick up the singing because clearly am epicfail at detective work... *must rewatch because if you say it is SEXY although how can the Batch be any more sexy as Sherlock than he already is with his speaking voice, let alone singing*
well spotted, I puzzled over that one, and I'm not sure it is OOC. He is gloating at his apparent success in beating Moriarty, which is very much in character. Is singing itself OOC or just something we haven't seen him do before?
Another throw away OOC line "I've never liked riddles" to Moriarty when he is leaving Baker Street after taking tea with Sherlock. I suppose on one hand that could be true since riddles are pointless puzzles, and Sherlock solves crimes not riddles, but it seems to me if anyone likes riddles its Sherlock

Re: Sherlock's OOC moment. Moffat also said that they would lie. So he could be lying when he says that the fans have missed something
Re: Molly. She could be the real Moriarty and Moriarty could be Moran, and when we think Sherlock is getting her help he is really getting rid of her.
Re: Mycroft. The refusal of both Sherlock and Mycroft to reconcile could be a ruse to fool (characters and fans alike) that Mycroft isn't involved
