Ugh. My point was that if you're going to start bringing hallucinogenic drugs AND scenes that are entirely one character's POV, you can basically make up any storyline you want, and the mystery of trying to figure out the solution is completely lost.
That was what I was trying to point out with my "theory" of what happened - not that I really thought this was the answer, but that basically anything was possible if you start to liberally use the above two factors. Hell, why not have Sherlock the one infected by the drugs, and the entire episode was imaginary? Where does it end?
Yes, but the "clever" part is that Watson hasn't realised is that he was drugged and thought he saw Sherlock die.
Its not like they drugged him, stuck him in a room and just told him a story over and over again.
But its faking a death what exactly do you expect, jump off a building, he lands on something soft, puts a different body there, has to make the only real witness believe he saw something else.
Not really sure why people are talking about it being "3 films" and therefore a lot somehow. Firstly its got a very small cast, easy/cheap locations. They aren't shutting down whole street's to do scenes with loads of extra's most of the time, a lot of it is two guys talking in a room, with only a couple of "stars" talent cost is low and 90 mins is only 2x 45min american shows, considering your average 22 ep season in america, 6 ep equivalent is pretty pathetic all told.
On the acting, most people are pretty good in it, Moriaty I'm torn on, either he's brilliant or crap, I think its the voice more than anything, they've got someone who you just can't really take seriously and they keep putting him in utterly ridiculous roles as the fake boyfriend and the actor.
Also in the book was Lestrades boss supposed to come across as completely retarded?
Lastly, still irked by the not interviewing the kid nor coming up with any theory on how he might have been framed. Nor why a genius who the kid had seen would go in to interview her, nor the rather poor reasoning of faking everything to get away with it. He deems them all his intellectual inferiors, how does faking Moriarty and getting away with it well, do anything for him. He's solving crimes he doesn't know about which is interesting, or faking crimes and not getting caught by cops he considers stupid, it makes no sense, there is no puzzle or mystery involved so where is his motive....... none at all.
