![]() John Watson in the Sherlock Christmas special, The Abominable Bride, everyone has been asking themselves the same question. ![]() Moriarty has literally gotten inside Sherlock's head.Ever since the BBC released its first look at Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in costume as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Does Moriarty know something Sherlock doesn't? Does Moriarty know how the woman did it? Did Sherlock and Moriarty both fake their own deaths, and Sherlock was simply too slow to see Moriarty's trick? Sherlock faked his own death on that same day with The Fall. Sherlock knows Moriarty can't do that, but. Then Moriarty shot himself in the head, and now apparently rose from the grave. ![]() He knows that's impossible, but he doesn't have an answer for how she did it. In the back of his mind, Sherlock was aware of one unsolved case where a woman shot herself in the head and conclusively died (she got an autopsy and everything), and yet she conclusively rose from the grave to kill someone (personally ID'd by her husband, with information only she would know), before returning to her grave (100% dead), and popping up occasionally to kill others (which could be dismissed as copycat crimes, if only the original crime didn't defy the laws of nature). I feel like they could go the brother angle for Moriarty, if he "survived", but for a lot of the less book-savvy viewers it might feel really cheap, and it sort of would be. Then again we got Joker-esque multiple choice with how Sherlock faked his death (although I think one was meant to THE reason) so you never know. I quite liked the suffragette stuff and randomly guessed at the start that I wonder if it was going to be a mind palace thing with Sherlock really trying to explain how Moriarty could have faked his death, only to come to the conclusion there's no way he could since he doesn't believe in the supernatural. I liked the episode up until the last.10-15. Like the idea that Moriarty is supposedly dead and although logically I'd say yes it's just damnit Moffat! ![]() I think I'm my own worst enemy in enjoying this because Moffat loves to play the con game so much I have no idea when to take him seriously, and I don't really find that constant state of flux any fun or entertaining as a viewer. ![]()
