Sherlock - Series 2

My take would be :

Molly has access to drugs and corpses and Holmes had asked for her help.

Holmes threw a corpse from the roof - either one supplied by Molly or Moriarty.

The crowd around the body were the Homeless Network / Baker Street Irregulars who were in on the plan.

Watson was delayed by the cyclist to allow Sherlock time to get downstairs, into the crowd and replace the corpse.

Sherlock slowed his pulse (using drugs from Molly ?) to fool Watson, saving his life.

The corpse was buried as Holmes.
What do you think ?

Something like that, yeah. We didn't see Sherlock's whole fall so I also suspect that at one point he got switched with a corpse.

Fantastic episode. I was in tears at the end although I knew that Sherlock would be back somehow. Excellent acting. And I'm also satisfied that the whole "a few lines of code can open any door" thing was a fraud.
 
It was bloody brilliant and until the very last scene I thought this may well be the final episode but thank god its not

Series 2 truly ended with a bang between Moriarty's latest devious plan aganist Sherlock, Sherlock and Moriarty's confrontation, and the heartbreak that occured in the midst of it.

I'm happy to hear this. How the show is going to resolve all that's left hanging by the end of the final episode is what I'm looking forward to the most in Series 3.

I wonder how much time within the show would pass since the events of the finale when Series 3 opens?
 
I've seen all three episodes now, and while I'd love to get into a really long review about it, I will refrain. I just will say that I thought series two was brilliant. The last two episodes featured fantastic performances from Benedict and Martin. The actor who plays Jim is awesome sauce! I can't wait for the series one soundtrack release at the end of this month...there is also a rumour that the series two score will be released next month, as the mastering has been finished. Although I stress this is just a rumour at this point. I can't wait for this on DVD. The Moff and Gatiss better make a season three. I'm willing to wait.
 
i didn't see Moriarty blowing his head off coming, but i knew as soon as Sherlock told Molly that he needed her that he wouldn't be dead that she would some how be involved in faking his death.

i'm also glad the code was a fraud.

funny, though, that both of Moffat's shows involve the hero becoming too 'big' and too 'famous' and having to fake their deaths to defeat the villains, isn't it?

Well to be fair in the case of "Sherlock" that had little to do with Moffat and more to do with the source material. As Holmes led everyone to believe he had died during his fight with Moriarity at the Riechenbach Falls.
 
^ The similarities though are still there. It's just interesting that he had done this on both of his shows, just in differing ways. Also it took Moffat and Thompson to make this work the way it did in the episode even with the source material...so I think Moffat deserves a little bit of credit.

Specifically like a regeneration episode where he knows it's coming - Logopolis or End Of Time

Best thing on telly - hope there's more than one more season.

Pity Moriarty's dead though - the show fairly fizzed when he was in it. He is dead isn't he ? I take it there's no chance he was a front for the 'real' Moriarty ?

:)
 
Going by various interviews and comments in the press, I expected the ending to be left a lot more vague. So I guess that last shot must have been added at the very last minute.

An interesting comparison to Logopolis. I got the same impression. A normally fun adventure show that suddenly takes a totally somber turn. I enjoed it, but it was maybe a little too dark for my taste.

I do hope theres a third series, though I wonder how Holmes is going to go about rebuilding his reputation.

And I'm with Relayer. Moriarty was an amazing character and I'd love to see more of him. Unfortunately hes much too dangerous a character to let live. I couldn't see him simply muttering to himself and slinking back into the darkness after being outwitted by Sherlock.

Watson watched Holmes jump. There was no body picked up[ & thrown off.

And Moriarty could have faked his death too. Blank in the gun, blood cap to the back of the head. Yep, he's that crazy. Would you be surprised?
 
So I guess the biker who ran down Watson was meant to daze him to the point where he wouldn't be able to clearly ID the body?
