The Scriptorium

I watched this last night. Amazing episode! Thanks for the review. I didn't pick up all the allusions to the books and films, of course, being a mild fan not a "geeky fangirl" in this case!

I'm really happy you enjoyed the episode! :-) And I wouldn't worry about not being a geeky fangirl as it probably means that you get out more than I do and lead a richer and more fulfilling life. *g*

Actually, I'm still trying to work out how the fuck Sherlock did it? It definitely looked like Sherlock lying there dead.

Yes, it looked that way to me too. radiogaga80 is arguing that we saw was what John was expecting to see. Maybe the body on the ground was similar to Sherlock (e.g. height, build, clothing, suitable wig) and John bought into it. However, that still leaves the question of where Sherlock went after he jumped off the building because it certainly looked like him taking that leap!

my favourite painter of all time, J.M.W. Turner! Mine, also!

Really? That's AWESOME! Small world, eh? :-)

I'm worried about Lestrade! With Sherlock supposedly a fraud won't Lestrade be sloshing around in the proverbial soup?

Yeah, I'm worried about Lestrade too. As I said to bwblack, I think there's going to be an inquiry into all the cases Sherlock was involved with. I also wouldn't be surprised if Lestrade was suspended and possibly even fired. bwblack predicts that John and Lestrade will work together to clear Sherlock's name, which would help clear Lestrade's name in the process. John would do it out of devotion to Sherlock (though I'm sure he would like to help Lestrade out as well). Of course, I'm sure Lestrade's motivations wouldn't be entirely selfish and he'd be doing it for both Sherlock and himself.

As John didn't want to return to Baker Street, I hope he becomes Lestrade's flatmate. I'm pretty sure that won't happen in the show, but I bet it will happen in fic. *g*
