So much good Lestrade fodder for fic with the doubt.
Oh, definitely! I'm looking forward to seeing what fic writers come up with! :-)
I tend to agree on the wasn't sure he believed Sherlock was guilty why else place the call? In fact I spec he and John work together to clear Sherlock's reputation in the interim because Lestrade will need to for any conviction on any case he's handled to be upheld and John out of devotion. Much much much good fodder for fic.
Oh, excellent point! I've been thinking myself that there might be an inquiry into all the past Scotland Yard cases that Sherlock worked on. I'm also wondering if Lestrade might get suspended or possibly even fired. Well, whatever happens, I really like your idea that John and Lestrade would work together to clear Sherlock's reputation. As you pointed out, John would do it out of devotion. For Lestrade, I think it would be partly to clear his own reputation and partly out of loyalty to both Sherlock and John.
Not as much champy fun as Hounds but man that was good.
Yes, "Hounds" was more fun and certainly lighter in tone than this episode. However, I still got a huge amount of enjoyment out of "The Reichenbach Fall".
Also, nice for Molly to have a moment where she genuinely is heard.
Yes, that was fantastic to see. It almost makes up for everything we've seen Sherlock put her through. *g*
