Okay that was excellent and everything I hoped for. Unfortunately I think it will make episodes 1 & 2 of this season look even worse by comparison

It sounds amazing! I was really curious when I heard they would be adapting The Final Problem. But I just saw some icons from it, and ... they fall off a building this time instead of a waterfall? Aside from a waterfall seeming so epic, and feeling a bit disappointed at that change, I wonder how Sherlock would pull the trick of being alive after falling off a building? It wouldn't be as easy to lose a body....
I guess you can say it's not as epic as the waterfall scene (or as pretty as filming in Switzerland would have been) but I actually think the way they did it was more emotional than the original...because Watson literally sees what he thinks is Sherlock committing suicide telling him that he was a fake all along (of course Watson believes the suicide part but not the fake part).
How he did it? Well I would be lying if I said I knew exactly but there are definitely a lot of clues that he planned something ahead of time (and you can even take things he said to Watson about being a fake as double talk that what he is doing now was a trick) and I think he worked with the character Molly (who I mentioned above) who works in the Morgue.
But yeah it was definitely amazing on an emotional level.
Oh wow. Poor Watson! That would be so horrible for him. I can't say I'm fully sold on the suicide angle, but I guess I'm just caught up in the intensity of Holmes dying/appearing to die a hero, locked in mortal combat with Moriarty.
I like the idea that he was trying to let Watson know that he wasn't really going to kill himself, though.
Well in this one Moriaty would of had hit men kill Watson, Lestrade, and Mrs Hudson if Sherlock didn't appear to kill himself as the final straw of having his reputation ruined (since Moriaty set it up to appear that he was faking everything the whole time).
Of course he doesn't actually kill himself but the elaborate set up is to save his friends. He is a hero here not dying in mortal combat but willing to risk the name of Sherlock HolmesU itself, since once he "kills" himself everything Moriaty did to prove he is a fake comes off as true. And I think the point of the story is Moriaty thinks Sherlock has nothing without his reputation but that isn't true, even if the world disbelieves him the important people believe in him, such as Watson (who believes in him right to the end)
