Yeah, I don’t know, I’m tending to kind of personally exclude anything that happened during the rooftop scene because he’s lying through his teeth anyway, not to mention at points possibly thinking he was going to die and then having to convince his friend he has was going to die, so it’s all going to be rather effected (but on the contrary, I rather beleive the tears were very real~). Plus, if we get involved in theories on the roof scene you have to start looking at factors such as just how much did Sherlock know or predict and as a result how much had he planned. Was he ever actually afraid he was going to die or was it all a front? It all becomes very relative (which is probably Moffat’s perfect territory, painfully enough).
I’m thinking it’s going to be something that happens before that, conceivably something that happens before the entire roof-top scene which, for me, excludes the theories involving Sherlock tossing his phone, the tears and the call itself as the the ‘clue’.
‘Plus the shirt was purple, but when he jumped it was white’ AKJS;ALKS THIS WAS NOT A THING I WAS ABE TO SEE THROUGH MY TEARS! In a conversation with sherlockscheekbones, we decided the white shirt was most probably an undershirt.
Yes. While I’m not at all glad that he is dead (and I’ll miss him immensely!) in a way I like that that’s the way he went out. It’s just so very BBC!Jim. He would rather die than be beaten, he would do everything to ensure his opponent looses even if he doesn’t live to see it. He lived just long enough to learn that he wasn’t the only one and then threw it all away just to win the game.
Plus, I love that he wasn’t dragged over by Sherlock, he remained in control, and he chose to go.
Moffat admitted he had been following the fevered speculation about how Sherlock, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, could appear alive and well in the last scene of the episode, despite having apparently fallen to his death and, indeed, been buried. But according to Moffat, all the fans’ talk of switched corpses and mystery cyclists has been lacking a crucial detail.
“I’ve been online and looked at all the theories,” Moffat told us, “and there’s one clue that everyone’s missed. It’s something that Sherlock did that was very out of character, but which nobody has picked up on.”
