About that code... Just a thought: is there any Grimm's tale that has angels in it? I just googled it, but couldn't find anything. Maybe someone else knows more. (But then, I guess, if there was a fitting tale, someone on tumblr would have already found and posted it )

Am I allowed to say that you are very cute? If I was a man or if I liked women, I would definitely ask you out on a date.

You are right about both 1) and 2). Especially the first point really hit me. Of course. It has to be an easy explanation. The easier the explanation, the greater the "Oh! Of course!"-reaction, while still being believable. Oh, no. Sorry. I must have expressed it confusingly (happens a lot with me ). No, there isn't a laser on Sherlock. At least I haven't found it yet. But there could most definitely be one. The sun shines on Sherlock's face at the same time Moriarty sees or realizes something, so we - the audience - can't see Sherlock's face clearly. So the laser theory is possible. I'm not sure about it, though. But what else could Moriarty see, that makes him think he lost the game, unless he kills himself? The crucial thing is: What is Moriarty's weakness? Is it his fear of losing? Is it his fear of boredom? ... He surely doesn't have a loved one, he wants to protect, does he? In my theory: when Moriarty acts fast enough and kills himself before Sherlock can threaten to be killed (and convince Moriarty to stop the whole thing), then Moriarty can't call off the killers, because he is... well, dead. And then Sherlock has to jump, to protect his friends. But the theory is not perfect. ... The main problem is: when Sherlock is killed by his own sniper, what would make Moriarty call off the killers? Nothing. So Moriarty must know Sherlock is only bluffing. ... ... Well, I still have to work on this theory.

It sure is creepy!

I like that theory. But I don't understand how it fits the Moriarty quote "Yes, you are me!". How is it like Moriarty to fake his own death? And also it doesn't fit what he says after that "As long as I'm alive you can save your friends." Moriarty doesn't kill himself, because he lost. He kills himself in order to win. I don't know how that is, yet. However, I have a theory about a laser point on Sherlock's forehead. Sherlock has his own sniper on a roof nearby, showing Moriarty that he, Sherlock, is prepared to be killed by this sniper. If that hapened, Moriarty would lose, because Sherlock would not die in disgrace. Sherlock would die as a hero. Although Sherlock doesn't care about his reputation, he knows that Moriarty does very much. If Sherlock was killed by a sniper, the public would think, Moriarty was real and Sherlock not a fraud, and then Moriarty would lose the game. Sherlock is bluffing, of course. At least, partially. He is sure, that Moriarty would rather call the killers off, than lose the game that way. So? What happens on the roof? Moriarty sees the laster point on Sherlock's forehead (the "Yes, you are me!" refers to the laser pointer thing, because it's Moriarty's "style") and realizes that Sherlock found a way out. And Sherlock is right: Moriarty wants to win the game so badly, that he'd rather call the killers off (and continue playing the game later). But then Moriarty finds his own way out. Before Sherlock can get himself killed by the sniper or threaten to do so, Moriarty kills himself, which leaves Sherlock no choice. He has to jump. ... ... Just a theory. It's not perfect, but I like it.

This is fun! I absolutely love looking for and finding such things, although I don't believe that they hold any significance. Anyway, are you sure all of the facts are true? The internet lies when it comes to "strange conincidences", assuming - very rightly - that people won't do their own research. Kennedy really is an interesting person... All of the Kennedy family are. How many of them died young and tragically!

I like the movies, but I don't love them. I think they are fun to watch, but I could never be a dedicated fan, because overall they are just too much (too much action, too much Crazy-Sherlock) and don't feel real.

I became a great fan of "Starsky & Hutch" when the DVDs came out.

When I first heard, what they were going to do, I thought: "This can't be good!" I imagined a Sherlock listening to Hiphop in his pimped-up car and sleeping with hordes of women. Back then, I didn't know who was behind the project and I think I hadn't noticed that is was a British show, not an American version. When I finally watched the first episode and the first scene came on screen, I thought: "Okay, probably, it will be a way too serious show, without lovable characters." Honestly, I don 't know what made me think that. I just remember thinking that. How wrong I was! From the second scene of the first episode to the last scene of "Reichenbach" I was hooked and I've been ever since. I love everything about it. I love every single character. I think they did a perfect job in modernising the original stories. It's dramatic, and funny, and heart-warming, and unnerving, and smart, and surprising, ... I could go on and on.

My name is Kathi. I'm a 23 year old student from Southwestern Germany. I live here with my husband, two hamsters and lots of books. I've always been drawn to "buddy cop"-shows, but I've never watched a series as good as "Sherlock" and now I'm totally hooked. Now being a fan of the BBC-show, I've decided to read the original stories as well. My other interests include photography, books, cats, movies, skiing and travelling (if I have time and money, which I really don't, being a student). Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

I can't really choose. The reason why I love the show so much is because all the characters are great and fit in perfectly. This show's Sherlock is absolutely brilliant. He is a genius, but a human one. He is - at times - unbelievably arrogant and uncaring, but you also feel that he has a heart, which makes him so lovable. That being said, I have a soft spot for John.
