I think most people would prefer Sherlock over Hobbit, though. Just get another actor to take the place of Morgan. I'm sure nobody will notice.

From what I got, when the helicopters came, Sherlock realised something. It was all in Magnussen's mind. Without a proper archive, there was no evidence against him. And so, even though the entire world could know how evil Magnussen is, it would be impossible to bring him down via the justice system. Sherlock made a decision. To save himself or to protect many more people from Magnussen. Because only in that moment could he stop him. Tell me if I'm wrong. I may have misinterpreted something.

Yep, someone dying is definitely not a spoiler.

You know, someone on the youtube trailer I think suggested that maybe when Mycroft was talking about going against Magnussen, he meant that Magnussen was as smart as Mycroft. Like, Magnussen is to Mycroft as Moriarty is to Sherlock.

How do you view it?...

So, ever since the Sign of Three, I've been having ideas about episode 3. What will happen? How will it end? etc. And I thought it would be fun to write my own little version of "His Last Vow" in script format. I think it gets more emotion if you're just reading a fan fiction of an episode itself. Anyway, the only Sherlock I know is BBC's Sherlock, so it probably won't have much to do with that. I hope in this beginning, I was able to capture some of the essence of Sherlock and John, and if you guys like it, I'd really want to continue and hopefully finish by Sunday. Give me some feedback! I'd love to hear it. It's been a while since I've written fan fiction. Sorry for the long introduction, here it is:

EDIT: I've put it up on Archive of Our Own now! Tell me what you think: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1127959

Well, the last part is made up from what I'd expect (speculation), but the rest is more actual theory , though I do hope that nobody does get killed.

Hmmm... I suppose. I thought that if most of the makeup was done while he was lying down, why not all of it?

Plus, what about Mycroft? Again, if it was so simple to get rid of the snipers, it would have avoided the whole mess.

No. I don't think what Sherlock told Phillip was true. You know Sherlock. I'd think he'd always take the simplest option out. Mycroft just used his power to get rid of John's sniper? Why wouldn't he do that for the others as well? It would have saved a lot of trouble. A Sherlock corpse that was replaced by the real Sherlock? First, there was no blood on the corpse, and if Sherlock had the "window-dressing" done on him while he was lying down, he could've just started off there. And in that case, why not just use the corpse. Sherlock wouldn't overcomplicate things, would he? But wait, if he did just want it to be more complicated, Molly still wasn't a key part as the corpse wasn't needed.

In fact, I'm questioning whether that encounter was real or not. I've been trying to figure out when it happened. And it's almost impossible that it happened before Sherlock and John were with the bomb. Sherlock knew it was a plot to blow up parliament, he said so himself, by which time, he had figured most of it out. Sherlock would waste no time. So if that were the case, why would Sherlock visit Anderson of all people. So that leaves 3 possibilities as I see it:

A) It's not real

B) It took place after the events on the train

C) The scene is more important than we think
