Some Sherlock hypothesis
Still Sherlocked, completely, and now, after "The Reichenbach fall" I have to wait for a whole year to get my fix...
Arrrrrgh!
The last episode was absolutely amazing, so angsty, full of tension and fury, and Benedict Cumberbatch was superb.
I really am in love with The Man.
The final episode of this too short second season leaves us with some big question,so, after the cut, watch out for spoilers.
Ok, ok, we knew Sherlock was going to die and at the same time that he couldn't possibly be dead.
Season three was confirmed and, most of all, we knew that after his death in the Canon, Conan Doyle brought him back.
That didn't stopped me from weeping all over the final 10 minutes of the episode, btw.
So, Sherlock jumps from a tall building and smashes his head (T__T).
He is dead as can be and then, at the last moment, when you think Moffat would leave us in the dark pit of anguish where he brought us, he reappears, in the shadows, looking at John on his grave.
Sherlock is alive.
But how?
It's going to be a long wait, so we may as well start discussing theories.
There are details, clues, questions that have no answer in the episode, and usually, in a Sherlock Holmes story, at the end we have all the answers, because Sherlock eventually explains everything to John.
This time is different and we have some big hole.
Why the young girl screamed like that, when she saw Sherlock?
Obviously she recognised him as her kidnapper, but we know this is not possible.
So, are we looking at a doppleganger case? Did moriarty use someone who looked exactly like Sherlock, a double, to kidnap the children? It could be.
But if this explains why the girl was so scared by Sherlock, it doesn't tell us much about the way Holmes may have survived falling from a building.
The man who fell was actually a double?
When did the switch happened?
It's not very convincing.
The second thing we need to look more carefully is Molly.
Sherlock tells her that he needs her and then she disappears completely from the picture.
What did Sherlock needed from Molly?
Did he planned his fake suicide?
It's entirely possible that he anticipated what Moriarty had in mind and then he built himself a way out, a way to counteract said plan. But how? And how is Molly involved?
She is a forensic pathologist (or however is it called), she works with evidences, dead bodies and death.
I think it's too much of a coincidence to be one.
And, finally, what about Moriarty's death?
Can we believe his final words? I think I would not trust him even if he were about to kill himself... And he actually did that.
But did he?
Is Moriarty really dead? If Sherlock is alive, could his nemesis be alive too?
Ok, I know that I don't have many comments here, and this is completely off topic with my usual posts, but I would love to hear your theories.
We have to wait a looong time before Sherlock returns. Let's wait together.
