Mycroft and the Fall

[hells_half_acre]

Maybe it's just me...

...but I like the idea of Mycroft not knowing that Sherlock is alive. I like the idea that in this version, only Molly (and the homeless network) know.

Of course, in order to keep 221B, someone needs to pay Sherlock's half of the rent...or all the rent, if John doesn't return...and that sort of lends more to a Mycroft-arrangement. I suppose there's a really sadistic part of me that wants Mycroft to think that his brother is dead.

In other news: I'm loving all the speculation out there about how Sherlock pulled it off.

Sherlock's bloodied face was shown after hitting the ground and there was an awful lot of blood on the sidewalk. I honestly have no idea how it was pulled

One theory suggested that somehow Sherlock had dosed John with the hallucinagen from Hounds - so he saw what he feared...another suggested that Sherlock wasn't really dead, just bloodied and with a pulse-stopping trick (which you can do with a rubber ball - which Sherlock had been playing with earlier).

I don't know...I think we're all going to drive ourselves crazy coming up with theories until they come back with S3.
