Cumberbatche

So that's Treasure Island, followed by Sherlock, followed by Ab Fab!!
Oooh a night in front of the telly for a change. Yes susiecb, it has been dire

Oh dear gave him an e on the end whoops sorry Benedict! It was excellent but very involved so need to watch it again for the subtleties I missed. interesting how clever men like cruel women.

A lot of sex is in the brain, and clever men use their brains a lot.

My husband is a clever clogs - what does this say about me. Treat them mean keep them keen- I tell him everyday haow lucky he is.

Loving Sherlock - but last episode

Yes it really didn't meet expectations, gracesmum. I thought the ending was just silly. Not entirely sure I understood it!

I think the ending of the last episode was meant to reflect the Conan Doyle novels. Wasn't it in the story of Reichenbach (sp?) Falls that Conan Doyle killed off Holmes, only to resurrect him later in a further book because of the public outcry at his death?

I have to watch this thorugh agin - why did Moriaty shoot himself?

I'm confused

Shocking ending - presumably, there will be a resurrection of some kind?

Presumably that was not a ghost lurking in the graveyard!

Zephrine you are not alone in being confused! He will be resurrected and there will be more, but I do find it over-complicated, maybe I am just a bear of little brain.

If you go over a waterfall there is a remote possibility that you might survive but jump of a building and splat on the pavement? or was it all a drug induced dream?? I actually found last night's episode rather boring/predictable and got up in the middle to do something else which probably added to my confusion

They will definitely have more episodes, I think about 5 million or so watch it. The ending followed the original book. He had been to see the girl in th lab beforehand, so obviously had some trick up his sleeve. The baddie shot himself so he couldn't phone the assassins not to shoot Sherlock so he therefore had to jump to save his friends. I loved it.

Nope,.... still confused!

And me!

I loved it too Hattie! Was it my imagination or was there a bit of a twinkle in Sherlock's eye for the girl in the lab? Watson's scene at the grave was very good, especially the 'Just don't be dead. OK?' bit, which had me snivelling.

Theory.....the girl in the lab supplied him with a chemical, temporary 'bone rubberiser' (and some blood) so when he hit the pavement, no bones were broken.

Why not?

Or was it Morarty in a Sherlock Holmes mask (as worn when children abducted by "Sherlock" thus explaining why the girl reacted like she did when she saw him)? And why did John have to stand just where he had to - so that the cyclist could run him down? Was he concussed so that he "saw" what he expected to see instead of looking closer at the "body" ?? The scene in the graveyard echoes Watson's belief that Holmes was dead in the novel. Clever!

Oooh! gracesmum how did you work all that out? Inspired! It would make sense if it was Moriarty he chucked off the building.

...but Moriaty shot himself didn't he, if it wasn't him who was it? and if Sherlock had put a mask on him and thrown him off the building wouldn't someone have spotted the bullet wound.. er half his head missing. P.S. if anyone has some of that "bone rubberiser" could I have some please?

Mere technicalities Zephrine! I'm waiting with baited breath to find out what really happened.....so confused.

What was all that stuff about 'I am you'? I can't help thinking that there's a clue there.

I may have to watch this again and consult my very clued-up DS1 who will no doubt have some kind of explanation!
