I love the Moriarty sequence too. I think it was beautifully done, and the wipe from one scene to another is flawless. I also love the scene in the court's bathroom, because I was actually thinking that she was really a fan, and then Sherlock just deduces her into pieces LOL
I got the feeling that Moriarty will be acquitted, because how else are they going to orchestrate everything with him behind bars and the red tape of bureaucracy? And I was spoiled for the location of the final confrontation as well, so yeah, I thought it's highly unlikely he would be found guilty.
I admit that I was a little confused when they brought Mycroft into the picture, and I couldn't quite get the part about the assassins. Who hired them? Moriarty? Some rival gangs that wanted to get their hands on the so-called code? We found out later that the code is a red herring, but does that mean that he hired them just to take the other out, or something? And I never knew there are many hired guns in London at the same time! Now I'm wondering if Mycroft would just group them together and eliminate them all.
You know how I feel about Donovan and Anderson and Lestrade LOL
Molly is such a BAMF in this episode, and she doesn't even have to hit anyone to get that title. I like how she deals with Sherlock for the past 2 seasons; she uses the soft approach, and I think eventually Sherlock, as shown in this episode, finally sees her for who she is. Adorable.
Sherlock's distressed noises. Seriously, LISTEN to him. One thing I love about this version of Sherlock (and the thing that sets him apart from all other versions of Sherlock) is the fact that they weave in this slight autism to him...and those distressed noises strike at the core of that.
Exactly, the little details. And yes, I do love this part, the whole part of the rooftop to be honest. It was real, it was highly charged, full of suspense (that seems to be my fave word for the week :p) and that unexpected twist for Moriarty committing suicide, brilliant!
.....This is beginningto sound like a review and not a comment LOL
And the fact that Martin Freeman made my throat tight just by making his own throat tight is really saying something for how amazingly accurately the emotions in this episode were written and acted.
Oh yes! I was discussing with a friend that Martin Freeman, in Sherlock, always let his sentence trail off at the perfect moment, so much so that you could believe that he was actually surprised/shocked/emotional etc This is something that I don't often see in the US shows, where they left the words (not sentences, but words) unfinished. In Supernatural Jensen likes to cut off his sentences in emotional scenes by swallowing, or breaking his voice, but I can't really remember if he has ever let his voice trailed off, leaving silence to fill in his reactions.
