MAJOR SPOILERS and SPECULATION for Sherlock 2.03. Images may be disturbing to some readers.

( Right, here's how I see it. )

Wow! Quite amazing speculation! The person knocking down John was definitely on purpose, even without analysis I can conclude that. I just didn't have the patience and mean to analyze the rest of the things. I think the thing you mentioned about the ball was right, otherwise it was quite random. I guess Molly helped as well.

I see that you didn't wait until the US air date to watch it ;)

Couldn't. If I had waited, I would have to stay offline until I'd seen it to avoid spoilers and that's simply not possible. I'll be buying the DVDs when they come out in my country for sure though.

I know what you meant about staying offline. When will the DVD come out in Canada?

I really enjoyed reading this, and I think you're right. Good call on the paramedics being rather unprofessional. I would never have noticed those two guys following Sherlock in on the gurney without your screencaps.

I've compiled a list of every variable involved in the Fall I could think of here, so I hope you don't mind if I link to this theory post! :D

I really noticed the paramedics because I've got a couple story WIPs where there's a risk of spinal trauma so I've looked into some of the first aid to try and keep things realistic, and while I'm still very fuzzy, that was not an appropriate transfer to gurney for someone that's hypothetically that injured. All flopping around and unstabilized. They didn't even lower the gurney!

I don't mind if you link at all! I'll have to check your post out once I've got a few more things settled in my mind regarding the episode as mentioned at the end here, but I'll add it to the repository of things to check out later. :-)

Oh very much so. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

I am very very slowly going through your Reichenbach posts -- trying to make them last longer. There's one more thing that you might want to look at. I can't tell if it's a production error or intentional. If you can go frame by frame at 1:23:07, it seems to be someone else on the gurney.

Heh. LJ flagged you as a spammer. XD

Yeah, I noticed that a few weeks back when I was going through it for details on a few other things, and I'll be making some comments on it when I can get something pulled together.

Loved part 1, by the way, trying to see how long I can last until part 2

p.s. Spammer? WTF?

I've been speculating on this too, and I figure Stethoscope wasn't really a doctor, either. For one thing, why would he be moving him like you mentioned, and another- he has a stethoscope, why didn't he use it instead of checking his carotid pulse with his hand? I think it is to prevent anyone else from checking his pulse there, and the stethoscope was more because when people see a stethoscope around your neck, they tend to do what you say, even if it doesn't make sense. The second responder guy may have been looking for Sherlock's femoral artery to check for a pulse there ( ... )

I did not know that about the honey thing, that's awesome.
