Sherlock 2x03 The Reichenbach Fall
Okay, I have hot chocolate, my cuddlepillow and tissues. I can do this!
And I already paused! *breathes* God, I'm such a wuss. But the first thing we get is John looking sad and the weather's all sad too! I wonder if this is a scene from later or if we're being fooled. You know, since we're having expectations we think something bad happened, but actually in this scene everything's still alright. That weather is a bit cliché. Okay, time to click Play again.
Oh, it's Ella! Ha, that's a character I had forgotten about, all the others I wanted to see again. Nothing against her of course, but obviously not having to go to psychologist is better.
I can see John is wearing black. And OMG, his voice. My god, I can't believe it, I'm already crying! But he said "my best friend", that makes me happy. DOESN'T STOP ME FROM CRYING, THOUGH!
Ha, a painting of the waterfall! Mmm... John in a nice suit. "Diamond cuff links? All my cuffs have buttons." - "He means 'thank you'." John Watson: interpreter. Sometimes I think he should get paid by Sherlock ^^. Oh god, I feel guilty for laughing. Ooh, John got Sherlock to say thank you! Ah, more laughing feels good.
Ah, more newspapers to read, I like that.
Oh, hello, Lestrade! Nice to see you again. Hopefully more than last episode.
I see Donovan in the background (nice to have her back too), but that next to her doesn't look like Anderson. ... No, wait, it is.
All the attention and the gifts he doesn't want must annoy Sherlock. And now it's the hat! XD
Ha, Sherlock's called a boffin. I don't know if this is a Hobbit reference (it's a hobbit family name), but I'll just take it as one. XD
There's something wrong with the lighting. The living room doesn't look cozy at all in this light.
Haha, Sherlock wondering about the hat. Some sort of death frisbee. XD
Ooh, the press will turn, they always turn. That's interesting, haven't thought about that.
Or maybe it's not the lighting but the color grading.
Ooh, the Tower, I walked past it when I was in London. It's so cool to see familiar things.
Ah, the music makes me all nervous. Hm... guy with black hair. Is that Jim?
It is! Tourist!Jim, hee!
Ooh, freshly showered John. So that is the bathroom door next to Sherlock's room. I love it when I know a place's layout.
John's wet hair is kinda cute. Haha, what's with the hanging dummy behind him?
I should stop pausing to ask questions that are answered as soon as I click Play.
Oh Jim, you're so wonderful. But he isn't gonna steal the crown jewels, is he? Not himself?!
Heh, this guy has a keep calm mug.
Oh, Jim! He knows how to do things in style. How can he be so wonderful?! The only thing missing is blowing bubbles. Come on, that's what you do with a chewing gum!
Heh, Lestrade on break.
Oh, the chaos. Hehehe.
Jim writes "Get Sherlock" and makes a smiley out of the o. Jim, have I told you recently that I love you?? Before he walks out of there he should take a bow in front of the security camera.
OH MY GOD, JIM ON THE THRONE WITH THE CROWN JEWELS. There's gonna be icons!
"Intelligent, fine. Let's give smartarse a wide berth." - "I'll just be myself." - "Are you listening to me?"
Oh god, a creepy fangirl? Probably something else. Two types of fans, huh? Sherlock, you need to get out more.
Ah, I was right about the creepy fangirl. Didn't suspect her to be a journalist, though. I expected a bad guy. But maybe she's both?
Hee, witness!Sherlock does the lawyer's job too.
"Do you think you could survive for just a few minutes WITHOUT SHOWING OFF?" and the answer is the next scene. AHAHAHAHA! I've so seen that coming.
I wonder if the video we saw in John's blog will ever play a role in this episode.
OMG, Sherlock is making tea? He's gonna be a nice host for Jim or what?
Ooh, the shadow from the opening sequence. Ha, I knew that was Jim.
Unf, Jim pronounced Bach right.
"The final problem", hehe.
"How hard do you find it having to say 'I don't know.'" - "I don't know." XD
"The man with the key is king and, honey, you should see me in a crown." God, that crown. Jimmy, baby, you're my favorite psycho in the world!
My god, Sherlock's shirt! Look at those poor buttons. Sherlock, wear something that fits.
Haha, oh Mycroft! ATMs!
Heh, John asks that old guy at the Diogenes Club something and the guy is upset.
Hm... looks like Kitty the journalist really also is a bad guy, in a way.
Four assassins in the neighborhood?!
"Nicked all his smurfs?" Heh.
Oh, a camera in the livingroom? Who put that there?
Poor Miss Mackenzie. "You have to believe me!" - "I do, I just wanted you to speak quickly." hahaha, oh Sherlock, for a good guy you are pretty evil.
Ooh, the boy left a trail!
Molly? Molly!
Haha, Sherlock called little bags of chips a lunch? Okay, so Molly didn't know what Jim had been up to recently??
Ooh, Molly sees that Sherlock's sad. And she offers help, aw.
The girl is screaming when she sees Sherlock. Ooh, did the kidnapper dress up as Sherlock?
No, Donovan, stop thinking that Sherlock kidnapped the kids!
Whoa, Sherlock got the creepy cab with Moritarty TV.
And Moriarty as the cabbie! Oh, this show! Making you afraid of cabs since 2010.
Wait, wasn't that the assassin who just saved Sherlock from getting run over?
"You can't kill an idea, can you?" Isn't that from Inception?
Dammit, Donovan, I always liked you although you're convinced Sherlock would commit crimes, but now it's enough.
Haha, John punched the police boss guy. Yay, John!
Oh wow, John and Sherlock cuffed together and escaping from the police. This is crazy, this is awesome. It's crazy awesome! Heh, IOU sprayed on a wall in the background.
OH MY GOD, Sherlock and John turn up at Kitty's house and who turns up a bit later? Oh, Jim! Hahahaha.
Jim Moriarty says he's an actor. And he's on kids TV. Ahahaha. You guys, I swear I read a fic like that or at least heard of it!
"There's only one thing he needs to do to complete his game and that's" to make it look as if Sherlock killed himself out of shame?
Yay, more Molly! "You do count. You've always counted and I've always trusted you." Aaaaaawwww.
What, now Mycroft has fucked up? Did he really? I mean, thats one humongous mistake to make and should he think for one moment that Sherlock death is his fault then he deserves all the pain that thought brigns him.
Ah, now the last episode's ending makes sense. Although I'd still like to know how they caught Moriarty.
John comes to the lab and Sherlock's there, but Molly isn't. Aw, do I have to wait to find out how she'll help?
Wait, what, a few taps are supposed to be that awesome code that can crack every computer? I'm not an expert, but I'm really sure that a code that could do that would be quite long.
Meeting on the rooftop? Awesome idea - what could possibly go wrong?! So I guess Sherlock already planned this.
Oh god, it's the fake letter. The call about Mrs. Hudson is the fake letter from the book. And Sherlock obviously knows she's fine. But it doesn't even look like he put two and two together. Did he know about this call? Is that what Molly had to do for Sherlock?
Oh! OH! *facepalm* MOLLY! Of course! That's what she does for Sherlock: helping him fake his death, isn't it! My god, I'm slow. She'd be perfect for it. Holy shit, how important that makes her! :oD FUCK YES, MOLLY! Which means that she knows, while poor John doesn't.
Oh, Richard Brook! Now that Jim says that nobody seems to get the joke, I get it. Mmm... Sherlock gets the pronunciation of Reichenbach right.
Oh, good, there is no code. I'm relieved. Really, a few lines!
"You're insane!" - "You're just getting that now?" XD
Oh, now comes the bit where people important to Sherlock are threatened. Yay!
Noooo D:. Sherlock's death is so important to Jim that he kills himself ;_;? Is it possible to fake this? I don't want Jim to be dead. I'll miss him!
I... I have thoughts... but... words! I can't! Too many tears!
But yay for rewatching! I'm coherent now, hooray!
God, that last call. I noticed when I first watched that there's something weird about Sherlock directing John to a certain spot. And when John moves for some centimeters Sherlock says that he should stay where he his. Making your best friend watch your suicide is also not nice.
Okay, Sherlock really jumped. Is it possible to plan to survive that? What I failed to notice the first time was that John was behind a building, so he couldn't see Sherlock hitting the ground. I also wondered what that guy on the bike was about. Probably to slow John down to get and get the blood on the pavement and Sherlock and to get other people to Sherlock who'll keep John away. So actually, there are several people in on it. Oh god, how John sounds when he says the second "he's me friend" *sniffle*. At least Sherlock really was forced to fake his death. I would have been so pissed at him if he had done it without it being absolutely necessary. Hey, there's a lot of blood, but I'm sure it should be possible to see that there are no wounds.
We see Mycroft reading the paper with the story about Sherlock's death. The way he doesn't seem to care at all must mean that he does know.
Oh, good, Mrs. Hudson kept Sherlock's stuff. Aw, John still believes in Sherlock ♥. *sniff* John asks Sherlock to not be dead. I bet Sherlock heard it, I bet he's there.
HA! There he is! I knew they wouldn't end the episode without showing that Sherlock's still alive.
ETA:
Can't believe I forgot to mention this one: A rooftop, a song and jumping... am I the only one reminded of another good TV show?
ETA #2:
Jim only killed himself to force Sherlock to jump, because then the only way to save his friends' lives was to kill himself. And I'm still wondering: In case of Jim's death, who was supposed to let the assassins know if Sherlock killed himself, and his friends could live? Sure, John's assassin could see it and let the others know, but could they really have known that John would be near Sherlock at that moment? I think someone else there must have been there and it's lucky that person (and John's assassin) didn't see that Sherlock faked his death. Or maybe Jim also faked his death and could call off the assassins when he saw that Sherlock jumped? But from where he was I guess he would have heard Sherlock's soft landing.
Also, what would have happened if Jim hadn't offed himself? Sherlock wouldn't have been able to pull this stunt!
And I already paused! *breathes* God, I'm such a wuss. But the first thing we get is John looking sad and the weather's all sad too! I wonder if this is a scene from later or if we're being fooled.

no subject
No, this is a word they use here in England. Wikipedia tells all (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boffin). And it was a hobbit family name? Clearly Tolkien referenced this!
I had forgotten about the Inception references! I noticed them totally.
Thanks for this blow-by-blow account. Helps me relive everything without having to rewatch. Which I can't yet cope with. :-)
no subject
Personally I couldn't cope with not rewatching. Rewatching meant that it would make more sense then. ...Not that I'm okay now, just a tiny bit better. As Moffat said: "It's just a TV show. Only the emotional damage is real."
no subject
Yes, I was thinking of Life on Mars. And today I watched the Reichenbach scene with the Bowie song. Works a bit. I wonder if someone already made a video.
But the important thing is that Sherlock also had to fake his death so that John, Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade would live - which makes it easier to forgive.
I wonder about Molly. It must be hard to keep a secret that hurts people. But the good thing is that she's unlikely to meet John now.
Mmm... yes, King Jim. Thank you for posting this gif, I've enjouyed it for at least 5 minutes now. I can't wait for my DVDs and make a Moriarty Is Our King layout!
And I love how it was proved again that music makes everything better. ...Which makes me wonder if Jim really likes Glee.
no subject
Hm, I'd like it if Molly and John became friends. But poor Molly's conscience! Hee, Molly/Lestrade.
I don't actually know Glee, but I just love the idea that Molly introduced him to the show and it's really to his liking. I'm trying to imagine Jim as a shipper, haha.
