Shapupa

No, no political boundary, they're both in the Borough of Camden. Streets in the UK aren't called the same way for all their length like they are in the US. If you scroll south on your map you'll see that Gower Street suddenly turns into Bloomsbury Street, then Shaftesbury Ave. No reason behind this (that I know of). For most Europeans it is confusing to have streets as long as they are in the US, especially with house numbers in their thousands. I really enjoyed reading this thread. You did a great job at capturing all the details they change to turn North Gower St into Baker St. I went to uni on Gower St but never went down to see them film, so it was nice to have all the changes they make put into one place

From a former forum admin to another admin, . This is a really nice looking forum with lots of functionality and personalisation options. Didn't see the correlation till I read your post. Why, yes, I'm a Snape fan. Besides the already mentioned common physical features, they're both two dark characters who appear to care only about themselves but who would actually go to great lengths to protect the people they care about. Who doesn't love a dark character with a twist? I'm actually with Carol, I now prefer fan instead of fangirl. Fangirl makes me think of the Twilight fans and as y'all probably know they're a bit...out there. That fandom really scared me for life Not enough to not get involved in another one though. I blame Benedict!

Thanks! I was wondering if there's a Sherlock forum anywhere for a while, but resisted actively searching for it till yesterday. I've been in several fandoms actually, the longest in the HP one. The one that didn't go so well was Twilight :blush2: Well..because it was Twilight and I'm actually surprised that that fandom didn't self implode already. A momentary lapse in judgement

I don't think he does. I think they both know that Sherlock doesn't actually know the recall code. If Sherlock actually knew the recall code, wouldn't he have used it instead of going through with his elaborate plan to fake his own death? No need for that if he could have just called off the killers. I actually wonder how Sherlock convinced Moriarty that he could get the code out of him or he could get him to recall the killers. Why Moriarty thought he has no other option to up Sherlock, except death. It's why I'm so curious if Moriarty's intention was to kill himself all along, after making Sherlock do it. Am I making any sense? I swear I do in my head :blush2:

Hi, thanks for the warm welcome! I've changed my SN to Shapupa, I might as well keep my twitter SN, less confusing After reading some more theories on here, I've seen that other people have said the same thing re:Moriarty killing himself. While I have no doubt that he did it to force Sherlock's hand (unknowingly that Sherlock had the upper hand all along), I can't help but wonder if that was his intention all along. Guess it's one of those 'if things would have gone a different way' that we'll never know

Hi everyone I've been trying really hard not to let myself get sucked into yet another fandom (the last time didn't go that well. it's so addictive!) but rewatching the eps and speculating in my own head would have drove me insane soon. So here I am, in need of a new home. PS. Whoever made these emoticons -> , I and you!

That does make sense. Moriarty believed that Sherlock had no way out. Moriarty knew what a lot of people didn't fully yet realize. That Sherlock did have a heart, he did care and this was his Achilles's heel. If Moriarty could die being thought an innocent killed by Sherlock Holmes with no hope of redemption then he would have indeed won the game. Sherlock would take Moriarty's place as master criminal and Moriarty would be forever painted as the hero who brought him to heel. Hi, I'm new here I'll run to introduce myself in a sec.. I think you're onto something here. But I have a slightly different view on Moriarty's motives. He kills himself to force Sherlock to kill himself as well. If Sherlock really knew the recall code, he could have recalled the killers himself, but he needed Moriarty ("I don't have to die if I've got you"). Then Moriarty realised that they are two faces of the same coin, both in it for the game ready to do whatever it takes to win. Except one looks towards destruction and evil and the other towards good and saving people (sorta..). Sherlock really cares about saving his friends and they both know it (Moriarty:"As long as I'm alive, you can save your friends, you've got a way out. Well, good luck with that."). Dying is a small sacrifice if he gets to win the game and have Sherlock commit suicide (and as you mentioned it, with no hope of redemption, since the only two people who could redeem him are dead).
