This is my review of the rewatch. Bit annoying having to check my first review to make sure I don't write about things I've already commented on.

The exciting soundtrack is really not fair when it's just a theory. The music is so good while the theory is so not what happened, it feels like it kind of devalues the music. Is that weird?
Let me just shout it out, no matter how necrophiliac it sounds: dead Jim is still super sexy, unf! Also, from that perspective I can really see the resemblance between Mary and Jim that people have noticed.
I still find this confusing. Dead Jim features in Anderson's theory, so does this mean he was actually found or was it because the writers decided it was necessary so we'd believe the theories/3x03 ending? If Jim was found, does that mean Anderson's theory would have continued with Jim's body being placed back on the roof?
It seems like a stupid idea to first put the mask on Jim and then cut the mask's eyes open. They totally could have damaged Jim's eyes. Or is this meant to be one of those things that doesn't make sense and serves as a hint that this isn't what really happened?
So, since this is Anderson's theory, does the kiss mean that he ships Sherlock/Molly?

Since Lestrade objects to lots of things, but not Jim's body, I think we can assume that they really did find Jim on the roof.
Anderson starts saying something about paving slabs, but is cut off. Now I wonder if there's actually a clue in that, maybe this theory we don't get to hear is correct.

Will I ever get over how awful the transition from the coffee mugs to John's eyes is? Probably not. If I had enough money, I'd make sure that Paul McGuigan directs at least one episode per season. I want him back, dammit.

When I watched this episode with my mom, it was really amusing how much John's mustache made her cringe. She went "Get rid of it!" all the time!
We still don't get to see any dates on Sherlock's gravestone.

I didn't notice this the first time I watched the episode: the torturer is played by Tomi May. Back when we heard about this casting, we thought he would be Moran.

When I watched this the first time, I wondered what all the Tube scenes were about. That was some nice foreshadowing.

Huh, so Mycroft has an office in the Diogenes Club. Every time he wants a break, he can just step out into the club part of the club, nice.
Oh god, when Sherlock says "you were enjoying it", he does half of the neck thing that Jim used to do. Did Mycroft really enjoy watching Sherlock get tortured? Why would he? I mean, yeah, the brothers don't always get along, but Mycroft really loves Sherlock. Was it revenge for having to do legwork? Maybe Mycroft was aware that the torture wouldn't cause any lasting harm, hm.
Poor John, everyone is hating on his mustache.

Look at all that eloquent dust they put there.

I'm a bit disappointed that it was Mrs. Hudson who kept the flat as it was. I wanted Mycroft to rent it. But okay, what's really important is that the place still looks the same.

Ugh, not funny Mrs. Hudson and writers! Yes, even if it's just plain old heterosexuality, you don't question people's sexual orientation, it's rude. Speaking of that: there are some people in fandom who really fucking annoy me. All John says is that he's not gay, doesn't mean it interferes with their Johnlock shipping. And if he had the hots for Sherlock, that wouldn't have to mean he's gay. It feels like we're going backwards! Dammit, people, there are more orientations that straight and gay! /rant

Ah, watching with subtitles is wonderful. "Jump out of a cake" Sherlock considers for his suprise for John. XD
I don't understand Sherlock's contextless "blood". What, does the coat still smell of blood? Would it do that if it was cleaned? Was there still some blood left? What??

"Does yours rub off too?" XD

Pfft, when I first watched this, I wondered why they're not in that nice restaurant anymore, but then I realized that they probably got kicked out for fighting.
I wonder if what Sherlock is starting to explain here is the truth. But with what I believe about the version Sherlock tells Anderson, I'd say that what John would have gotten was the same half truth with lots of lies. Pointing towards this is that Sherlock excluded the van with the washing bags as a possibility. The van makes more sense than the air bag.
"He would have needed a confidant." says Mary and now I'm pretty sure that she's speaking from experience. So that's why she likes him, she finds it easy to relate to Sherlock.

So was it Sherlock's death that caused Lestrade to start smoking again or was it unrelated?

That transition from the rotating shot of John to Mrs. Hudson scrubbing a pot in circles isn't the best either.

And here we have my favorite theory. That thing felt weird from the beginning, because they recycled the Baskerville music.
Oh, this precious, precious theory! It gave us Jim smiling. We got to see a happy Jim and that makes me happy.
I wonder what the piece of music is called that's playing at the kiss (yeah, I haven't bought the soundtrack yet). Kiss the Guy would be nice. Although maybe a bit confusing, since this is the Guy Fawkes episode. But I want it to be a word with g, because of the Kiss the Girl reference.
Not that this kiss actually would have happened. They're at the wrong angle towards each other. At least in this take.
Chill, Anderson, no need to get into ship wars, just because you don't like hers. And it's not as if Laura had said anything against Sherlock being still alive. Though she did say something against Jim dying on the roof, hm.

Oh god, if I start making icons from this episode, you can expect to drown in Mary icons. I love her so.

Excuse my ignorance, but where would homeless people go to charge their phones?

I've seen people comment that they actually thought Mycroft and Sherlock were playing chess. It makes me wonder how anyone could not notice how the chess board is in focus, but the Holmses aren't.
So they were playing Operation without looking. I'm trying to imagine how that came about. That they're playing this game, I mean.
God, imagine Sherlock thinking he's an idiot. Well, I guess that explains why he always wants to prove how clever he his.
In my headcanon Anthea and Mycroft still are friends, even though Mycroft doesn't seem to care about having friends. Speaking of intelligent people without friends: when Mycroft talked about slow people, he reminded me of Jim. He had a goldfish once (in another life, where the blind hostage was his neighbor, ha). God, why couldn't Jim, Mycroft and Sherlock be BFFs? *sniff*
I can follow the beginning of the hat deduction and that they're talking about each other/themselves, but at the end I'm lost.

That intercut scene of Sherlock and John is fun. With the middlefinger, "F" - "Cough", "complete and utter" - "piss pot".

It sort of fucks with my brain that in the story Sherlock really was the book guy, but on the show he isn't but John suspects him to be. Because it's as if John read the books and now he's suspecting this guy who doesn't even look like he could be Sherlock to be Sherlock, because the story said so.

Ugh, Sherlock, you're as bad as everyone else. Haha, huge geek probably doesn't have a girlfriend. F *cough*!

Someone in the crew must be obsessed with using the purple and yellow light.

I wonder how Sherlock convinced these 2 to lend him their motorbike and helmets.
I like how the text messages are getting more fire-colored. And with the "stay of execution" text it's back to white and starts again.

I like you Zoe.
Always check for hedgehogs before you set a pile on fire!
You can see how serious the situation is, because Sherlock doesn't take his precious coat off.

Poor parents. Must suck when your kids avoid contact with you.

Oh god, I just saw when Sherlock switched the bomb off. Way too early. Makes it even less forgivable that he let John believe they were going to die.

I don't beliiiieve Sir Boast-a-lot's storiiiies. I don't believe that the Holmeses had the upper hand all the time, because that would ruin the best Sherlock Holmes villain and would take all the fun out of The Reichenbach Fall. If there's no risk in the story, the victory doesn't mean that much. Nobody is perfect, not even oh-so-clever Mycroft. I think he really did make a mistake in telling Jim about Sherlock's childhood. And Sherlock really did only figure out Jim's plan after he left Kitty Riley's flat.
If this version of events is true, that would make Sherlock a major asshole. Sure, letting your best friend watch your suicide and let him think for 2 years that you are dead is pretty much level with letting him think you're both gonna die in a bomb blast, but no. Just no. I like Sherlock jumping to save his 3 friends better than doing it for a mission.
At first I was ready to believe Lazarus and its flaws, because I was so desperate for a resolution.
So John wouldn't have heard the fan (or whatever it's called) for the air bag?
Haha, Sherlock said paramount. Great, now I'm getting Cabin Pressure feels, because that show is about to end.
While I really like that they mentioned the Sherlock lookalike, I don't like the idea that he was needed. It's a ridiculous waste of time. Why wouldn't Sherlock just lie down himself? There's no need to go somewhere else first, there's no need for a stand-in.
The reason for the cyclist wasn't for Sherlock to switch places with the corpse, it was so that Sherlock could be decorated with blood and that enough people gather around him to block John out.
Of course Molly was in on it! Someone had to fake a death certificate. I like to think (because that "whoever he was" sounds suspicious) that the Sherlock lookalike was actually the loyal Sebastian Moran and that his usefulness would never end, that he's not someone who Jim would get rid of, so Seb would take Sherlock's suggestion personally. Haha, now that I think about it in the most shippiest way... as a MorMor shipper I find the idea that Jim's boyfriend looked a lot like Sherlock very amusing.
O rly, "lots of coats"? ô_o
I still wonder if that sniper is Seb. Which of course would mean that he's not dead, because you can't convince me that we'll not get Seb in S4. Not only do I doubt the sniper was invited to reconsider euphemistically, I also doubt the literal meaning could be true. Because with the sniper being no threat, Sherlock would have truly put on that show only for John, which would be too fucking cruel. No, I think the sniper did see the whole thing and that's why the air bag wouldn't work. At some point he would have seen it.
Closing off the street wouldn't keep the people in the buildings from seeing it, though.
So... this whole version of events. I like finalproblem's theory that the point of the lies Sherlock told Anderson was so he would get them out there. That's why I think John wouldn't have gotten the truth either, because John has a blog and he would have typed up what he's heard from Sherlock. And since John didn't care how Sherlock did it, the latter had to find someone else to make that story public.

And I still wonder if Philipp really is Anderson's first name. Maybe he just didn't correct Sherlock, because he's a fanboy.
Look at Anderson doubting that Sherlock told him the truth. Anderson really is fandom now. Or at least a part of it.

I wonder when Sherlock called the police. It must have been before they walked into the station, but I'm assuming that between leaving 221B and going into the station he was always with John, so John should have noticed.

Oh John, it was you who was put in the bonfire because that would be burning the heart out of Sherlock. And no one will ever convince me otherwise!
"Unlike your nicely embellished fictions on your blog, John, real life is rarely so neat." He could be talking about that alleged Fall resolution there.
