I absolutely bawled my eyes out watching the end of this. For a long time after. This just broke my heart.
Yes, the ending was completely heart-breaking. I have to confess that my mind still wanders back to the episode -- and it's been two weeks since I watched it!
I look forward to seeing how they explain Sherlock's death. That bike rider who got in John's way, the way the staff wouldn't let John get too close (like you said - although they may not anyway so that they could assess and get to work resuscitating, if appropriate, and family members in the way in a serious situation can be troublesome), and the way we don't see the entire fall (if there's a mattress or awning involved, I'm going to be pissed!).
I'm guessing that all of these things will either play a part in the explanation or will turn out to be red herrings thrown in to confuse viewers. I'm not sure how I feel about a mattress or awning. I think I'd prefer it over some explanations. We did see a body hit the ground, but it could have been dropped from a lower height, unless it was a dead body to begin with...I know at least one person who thinks that we didn't see what actually happened, but what John thought he saw.
I loved Molly in this ep. How Sherlock asked her for help. How perceptive she was.
It was great to see Molly finally being appreciated in this episode, though I think Sherlock has probably put her in a tough position. Hell, Sherlock has put everyone in a tough position. *g*
And John was just fantabulous.
John was incredible in this episode! I think Martin Freeman will at least be nominated for some more awards this year. :-)
Loved him confronting Mycroft.
That scene was great, though I felt bad for Mycroft. Yeah, okay. He screwed up. However, he did it for the right reasons. And considering how protective he is of his brother, I can only imagine how horrified he must have been when he realized his mistake.
I'm glad there's going to be a 3rd series. I just wish we knew how long. Probably not this year, eh?
I heard next year, though I don't know exactly when in 2013. As about a year and a half passed between the first and second series (if my math is correct), I'm guessing they'll air the third series in the spring or summer of 2013.
