"I'm just his-" "Hostage!" "Yes, hostage! That works."
Wherein Jack reviews a movie and talks about some theories.
This post will have spoilers so if you've yet to see Sherlock die and don't wish to know about it, don't read.
I've mentioned some of my theories on how I believe Sherlock lived through the fall and read on some others. But I've never done a proper review of The Fall or explained my theories. So, I shall do so now.
First off, I liked this episode a lot. Not as much as series one, but it was a lot of fun and excited and had some interesting twists. I liked how Sherlock and Watson's friendship was displayed - and I loved the part where they ran away from the police handcuffed together. (And Sherlock pointing his gun at Watson's head and Watson not minding, that was cool too.)
Moriarty shooting himself surprised me - and I don't know HOW they will manage, but I've a feeling they will bring him back.
How Sherlock survived the actual fall still has me stumped. Moffat said he does something very out of character and it is obvious and no one has noticed yet. (I cannot see an obvious clue to save my life - this is what I need my sister for - so I likely missed it with the rest of you. I did notice some things though.)
It was VERY out of Sherlock's character to start crying and telling Watson he'd just made everything up to impress him. Sherlock, impress people? I don't think that is high on his list of characteristics.
The other things I noticed though was the little girl - I mean, EVERYONE noticed her. But when Sherlock walked into the room she screamed. I believe her kidnapper looked a bit like him. I mean, it wouldn't be hard. It was night. She was scared. All Moriarty needed was to hire a tall fellow with dark hair. When she sees Sherlock later she would still be so scared that she wouldn't bother looking too long and hard at his face. A tall fellow with dark hair. He reminder her of her kidnapper and she screamed.
THE SCARF! Okay, so he had the scarf in series two, I saw it in pictures of the Adler one. Why did they give him a new scarf? They blue one was SO much better.
The camera kept narrowing in on the tea. This is a long shot I know, but there is a drug I believe which can slow down a person's pulse. It is probably not connected with the tea, but I think Sherlock took some - in his tea, see, the tea might be something else.
But I do believe he took some kind of drug like that. I think that is why he went to Molly. Also, when he "died" he would want someone who knew he lived to keep someone from burring his live body.
The drug though, I think he took it, and somehow got down - how he got down alive, not sure. He planned for Watson to leave so he could get it all set up (this is Sherlock, he would have suspected Moriarty's motives.) When Watson sees him jump someone hits him on a bike. Now, not only is Watson CONVINCED his best friend is dead - he saw him jump - but he is discombobulated and grieved. In The Dying Detective Sherlock tells Watson he trusts his medical skills so much he knew Watson would realize he wasn't dying. So, I believe he did all of that, so that by the time Watson got to him, he would be so upset and dazed he wouldn't be able to feel even the slightest pulse in spite of the drug.
Lastly, someone pointed this out, Sherlock wouldn't let Watson come close to the building. He wanted him to stand in that exact spot. Maybe so he couldn't get a good look at his face? Maybe Sherlock somehow found the kidnapper and pushed him off, then ran down the steps and took his place? Okay, so that one is a bit crazy, but I think the kidnapper will end up playing some part in all this.
(Someone also said it is Sherlock laying on the ground after the jump but isn't him when they are lifting him to the stretcher. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't have netflix anymore so I can't look.)
So, there they are. What about you? Have you noticed something I missed? Did you find the obvious clue now that Moffat gave a hint of what to look for? Has this even been Sherlock in series three or some look alike kidnapper?! (Hey, I need at least one crazy theory.) Am I the only one who misses his old scarf? (Which one did he have in the Hound? Does anyone know? I can't remember.)
I'm going now. I've a good book and a couple days before I have to edit again. I plan to enjoy it.
Allons-y!
