Talk about this episode.

I think this about sums it up...

*Sobs*

I'm dying, I just watched it

I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry.
This is the most feels-y thing of all time.

There's a part of me that was fangirly sad, and then the Sherlockian in me was ecstatic. BY GOLLY THEY OUTDID SIR ACD! BLESS THEM! BLESS THEM! So yeah, I'm very conflicted about this episode.

I honestly cried for 30 minutes after this episode, even though u find out everything, I was still a mess and had to resort to funny Sherlock posts on Tumblr

Don't outlaw me, but I think I was more stunned by Moriarty's death. (Of course that might have something to do with the act that I was, am, and always will be, head over heels in love with Andrew Scott)

So I was talking to my mom, and I said: "So, mum, you know Sherlock dies in the season 2 finale?"
And she says, "He dies? But I thought there was another season?"
And I say, "Well, yeah, but..."
"They can't not have Sherlock. It'd defeat the point of calling it Sherlock. They'd have to call it Watson."
And I was like:

I nearly cried. Then I saw Sherlock at the grave site and was like "OH MY GOSH HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And then I cried out of relief.

SO SAD!!! But I, too, was more shocked by Moriarty's death. And how did Sherlock survive?! Crazy!

ah ah ah ah stayin alive staying alive

*sniff*
His survival is a mystery we'll all have to solve, once season 3 comes out.
AND NOOOO!!! I WATCHED THE TRAILER AND MARTIN FREEMAN HAD A MUSTACHE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAVE, JOHN, SHAVE!!!

lol @ mustache

My depression comes from the fact that Andrew Scott said in an interview that Moriarty is dead and not returning. I almost can't believe this--after all, how does Sherlock exist without his shadow? Then again, it is that most-evil Moffat pulling the show's strings, and he's unrelenting in his decisions.

You had me laughing pretty hard there at mustache. Seems to be that's the only thing that the fandom really cares about at the moment.

Has anyone pulled off a mustache in a modern role in the past decade? I'm struggling to think of one.

I saw that interview! I paused it and pouted for awhile when it was confirmed. But there would be a pretty big uproar from the original ACDbook fans because (spoiler)

in the books that really was Moriarty's downfall and he really dies. Although Holmes does end up with his hands full with Moran--Moriarty's right-hand man--during and after the great hiatus~
(end of spoiler)

Sherlock in the books is defiantly bored after the 'final problem' as Jim called it. Poor guy. I'm sure that many fanficers out there have made countless fics about how Holmes would drug himself more than usual because he was extra bored! lolz-
I agree with you totally though~
It may just be Moffat being all meh again and messing with us. Darn him!
BUt what made me really sad and almost sure that they won't bring back Moriarty is another interview I saw.
They gave us 3 words that provided hints on the next 3 episodes of season 3 "Sherlock."
Rat
Bow
wedding
My guesses..."The Giant Rat of Sumatra." which ACD teased us with many times but never actually did...hmph- ACD can be almost as cruel as Moffat sometimes!
"wedding'...my best guess would be
(spoiler?)

John's wedding. Married some girl named Mary that Sherlock helped on a case called the "Sign of the Four." He left Holmes all alone!!! Holmes was devastated~

(end of spoiler)
And "bow"
This one is the saddest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
"His Last Bow"
nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm almost sure that the next season will be the last!
It's the end of an era.....
mah.............

HAHA-
I know~ If it comes up for discussion than it could be worse than...1972.
better than any political debate I can tell you that.

ummm...
The Pink Panther (2006)?!

It very well could be the last season given how British tv series work. It's unfortunate that Sherlock wouldn't go-out with Moriarty; makes however they end the series feel anticlimactic (unless Moriarty left videos or some other kind of 'Lazarus' trope that lets them convincingly bring the character back).

However... we could always hope that Sherlock goes the same way of Doctor Who and is such a cash cow that they keep it going several more series. I doubt it though. Cumby and Bilbo are just too big of stars now to stay attached to a serial. And heavens knows those episodes must be expensive to produce.

LOL!! I agree I do NOT like that mustache!! But I heard that it is only in the first episode, and John shaves it after Sherlock returns. Thank goodness!! After I heard that I think I can handle the mustache a lot better now. ;)

I heard an interview where Benedict Cumberbatch said he could get in trouble for saying this but he is signed up for a season 4 and 5. Moffat did what I call 'Damage Control' after the interview saying they really do not have it planned that far.

I agree about being more shocked over Moriarty's death.

I've watched this scene over and over, and I bawl.every.time. I love imagining how John is going to flip in the third season when Sherlock comes back. He'll be so happy!

Something like this, times 3220358708757271294621.


Either that or he'll, you know, punch him again.

AAAAHHHH JANUARY 19 IS SO FAR AWAY BUT AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

There's a flippin' release date? AHAHAHAH!(That was a combination of laughing at the gifs and wailing in agony, and happiness)
Myself I was heartbroken. Not reeally you know but, arg. It was twenty minutes of pure suspense, I cannot simply wait even to hear the theme playing honestly.

January 19 is the US release date. No date has been announced for the UK, but it will be earlier than the US date.

I'd actually like for John to punch him again. hehe :)

You have quite the well thought out theory!! I have heard several theories similar to this one, but you include more detail about everything. Now I want to watch it again and look for all the details you point out.

One more thing to add to your theory. John gets a call saying that Mrs. Hudson is hurt, but she is actually fine. I think this is to distract John and get him out of the way so Sherlock and Molly can set up for the fall.

That's one of the best put together theories I've seen. I can fully believe that.

Y'all are some smart potatoes. I've had similar theories, but thanks for putting it all down. I agree completely.

I cried so hard. :'( I can't believe I am just commenting on this, though.

I want to punch a wall. Or Steven Moffat. Or anyone really. Except I'm too nice, and I will go to punch them, but then be like, no, I can't punch someone, it will hurt, then turn around and leave. But, anyways, MOFFAT, WHY?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

I finally saw this! If I hadn't already read the books, I would have been so upset. o.o What an awful thing to have to watch. It made me sad.

I believe it's called a 'mournstache' as well. :) And, SO MANY THEORIES! I defiantly believe Molly had something to do with Sherlock and the fall, he did go to her before meeting with Moriarty.

And I kinda wish Moriarty was still alive as well. :(

Well...Did anyone ever see the trailer? The newest one, which happened to come up(I think, hoping it's not faked), today.
(Ahem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vq4s8...)

That. Mustache. I-hate it. Grr.

*gasp* How can you hate a mustache? Mustaches are awesome!

But-it's...ludicrous...

I hate the mustache too. Martian looks soooo much better with out it!! I saw an EmergencyAwesome video were the guy says the mustache is only in the first episode and Watson shaves it after Sherlock comes back. That is the only thing that has made the mustache bearable for me. And it better be right!

Just a side note, does anyone else find the trailers really lacking? Maybe it is just the way Brit TV does things, but the trailers are so...so...dull, boring, uninteresting.

I hate to say it, but yeah. The trailers could be more exciting or explanatory.

Maybe they're so blah because someone knows we don't need them to be excited about this. xD

Very. very. true.

Dear Lord, this episode was an emotional rollercoaster that ran out of track at the end and dumped you off of it saying "Have a nice life! Try to function properly! Wheee!"
