Subject: Molly had a crush on Sherlock and used to date Jim Moriarty
In reply to: Lij 's message, "Ok... I see what you're saying...." on Sunday, May 27, 09:32:02pm

but he never "saw" her which allowed Sherlock to fake his death with her help. She definitely provided both a corpse and a false post-mortem record (an echo to Irene faking her death)but I'm pretty sure it was Benedict Cumberbatch's bloody head that we saw through John's eyes! My money is still on using the Baskerville drug to better fool a dizzy Watson. Even dizzy, John would have seen it wasn't Sherlock, unless the dead guy was teh spitting image of Sherlock.

I think, like AS, that the "double" Moriarty used to kidnap the kids might have played a role, but that would mean that Sherlock (or Mycroft?)had had him killed prior to the big showdown, which would be kinda OOC...unless Moriarty killed him first after using him, and Mycroft had found the body (because you can't conceal bodies from Mycroft!).

But the faux Sherlock might have been just a red herring, and a meta clue rather than an actual mean to fake Sherlock's death. We'll see.

I believe that the place, where he ended up and hid, had been arranged before so Sherlock wouldn't injure himself.

Anyway, he obviously didn't improvise (I think he even signaled his accomplices at some point, when talking to Moriarty)so my main issue here, is: how the hell did Sherlock foresee Moriarty's demand, and also his suicide?

Because Jim could have asked for something else than a big fall; and if Jim hadn't killed himself, it would have been much harder for Sherlock to fake his fall, wouldn't it?

At some point you have to suspend your disbelief, even with the genius that is Moffat.

There's also a plothole about one of the snipers – the one who was supposed to shoot John – settling in the building in front of the hospital instead of following his target around (the other hitmen stayed close to their target!), as if he knew John would come back anyway, to witness the fall...

Ok... I agree with y'all.
