Would Dr. Frankland have offered SH a room in his flat? Does not make sense; Frankland does not even live in London, does he?

I am moving my answer from the "improbableone" thread to this one: Really thanks for providing this video. (BTW it is absolutely realistically made). But again (I now others have recongized before): In the news video it is NOT mentioned that also the body of Moriarty was found. Sherlocks death was referenced to have happened yesterday. So who has removed the body before it was found and why? I hope this will be explained in the next season otherwise it is a severe error.

Interesting topic though I also would guess it's maybe Mycroft ...
-
I fully agree. It would have been no change to the plot if the member of the royal family was young male. (But what a discussion we'd now have).However, they clearly (intentionally) defined a "young female" which in reality does not exist. I would say it is the fictitious granddaughter of the Queen.

I've seen Mr. Bean doing that :-)

Wow the interest in this topic is fantastic! Not!!! (What I've learned so far is that the general Sherlock Fan loves Star Trek more than football...)
-
Thanks, it came into my mind by itself. Though others had the same idea I figured. Well she does look really cute....
-
You can even see in the episode that she is not driving her car can't you?
-
Yes that's a good one. After all I believe Deckard is one of them, isn't he?
-
Harold & Maude (This film is about love, life & death and yet it's funny too)

I like British TV series, films, humour and music. But for football I need to support my own team. (Sorry England) Spain again would be boring right?

Moffat unveils all-nude Sherlock (Spoof Article)
Dexter replied to Undead Medic's topic in BBC Sherlock General Discussion.
Hahaha. (I have to admit I'd watch this) -
Oh great! But now you'll also have to tell how you arranged that? I guess you did not just look her up in the phone book and said "Let's meet in front Baker Street 221B" right? Is that the real door anyway?

Dear all, I am from Germany and I really like this BBC Sherlock series. I have always been into crime stories with either clever, surprising or suspense plots. I've seen a lot of Hitchcock's movies for instance. One of my fav films is "The Sting". Anyone know that? It is really good. Regarding this Sherlock series I must admit that I can't imagine that something similar could ever be produced in Germany! Somehow nobody dares or they are just not capable to do that. Has anyone ever seen something as modern as cool like that from Germany? BTW, the same with funny movies. Another fav film of mine is "Hot Fuzz". Very good mixture of black humour, buddy movie, crime story, action. German films are more severe or rather old fashioned style I think. "Sherlock" is really raising the bar!

Thanks again for your detailed answers. To me this basically concludes the discussion. I agree Moiarty's probably dead; I can't imagine now how this could continue and come to another end. Maybe the authors wanted to leave the question open for themselves, if not then surely for us.
-
That's possible but they'd have needed to give some clues to back that up.
-
Cmon, did you not also think at the pool scene for a second that John was Moriarty? I thought "this can't be true" and "wow, brilliant, did they really make THAT spin to the story?" at the same time...

Used google to deduct more on the second season's cliffhanger. Felt like I really needed some discussion :-)

About Modern Day Sherlock, Were You Convinced?
Dexter replied to Undead Medic's topic in BBC Sherlock General Discussion.
There are so many films in the original time. Transfering Sherlock into modern times is brilliant. You may not like it of course because it is different. But that's exactly what makes it interesting and not just another film. Compare to the recent movies with Downey Jr / Law. They also tried to bring the stuff in kind of modern fashion but I think the result is just average. -
Carol, also here thank you for your answer. What you wrote is exactly what I mean. It is kind of annoying when they think of these really good plots with all the hidden clues we're looking for and then miss something illogical like that.
-
One other thing, when I say the death of Moriarty was so surprising. Yeah. Sherlock figured he did not need to kill himself as long as he got Moriarty. Then he could get the assasing-stopping-code from him. And Moriarty's only choice is to kill himself to avoid Sherlock getting that code? Did he expect that Sherlock would torture him to get the code? Couldn't he have just walked away?
-
Carol, thank you for your detailed answer, I really appreciate that. #1 I do not really know the original stories. Are the modern stories kept close to the original ones? (I think in case of Baskerville it is rather loose). I still think Moriarty's death is somehow worthless. But yeah, you made a good point. I must say it was a very surprising death and after thinking about it maybe better this way than an extended action film showdown or whatever.... #2 In my mind the suicide makes Moriarty lose the game or at least make it a draw. I'd have expected Moriarty's character would always go for a win. And after defeating Sherlock he'd be looking for a new challange. Do you think he thought there was nothing else to come? (The question we're all afraid of is, IF Moriarty is dead, what will come for Sherlock? Can the third season top that?) #3 Sherlock could have known that Moriarty faked his death and did not want to let him know that he knew. But indeed this is all speculation.

I found something strange in the plot of this episode. Is it not Holmes was getting arrested then stealing a police gun, escaping and taking a hostage, etc. but then in the rest of the episode there is no police looking for him? Did I miss something?
-
I can't believe Moriarty is dead. For several reasons. - They introduced such a brilliant nemesis and let him die in this stupid way? A suicide? - Would Moriarty not like to see if his plan works? He really has destroyed Sherlock? - Which is the easier death to fake: Shoot yourself or jump off the roof? He'd just need a blank cartridge and some (artificial) blood. Holmes never checked that he's really dead.
