First of all I think Sherlock will not let John know he's alive in a subtle way little by little. I don't think he'll drop little clues of his existence. He'll appear to John head-on some place (he's hiding behind the bathcurtain as John's taking a leak) and I think John will react heavily like he's been betrayed. He'll shout, maybe punch him in the face and then storm off. "I never want to talk to you again!". Then later Sherlock will save John in some way an he'll eventually forgive him for faking his death.

Or then the Sherlock we saw at the graveyard is actually a cyborg Scotland Yard built to fight crime with nothing left from the original genious than his brain.

Oh god....if that happens I doubt I would be able to stop laughing


I agree with the head-on approach though, Sherlock would first make sure to kill the assassins after his three friends/friend and acquaintances and then go back to reveal that he's still alive.

Too bad that will bring even more publicity to him....I wonder if Sherlock and John would go live someplace else to hide from the publicity of it all...anyone have thoughts on that?

Very nice, Silent.Ecstasy.   Especially the "Well obviously!" - kind of along the lines of "perfectly sound analysis, but I was hoping you'd go deeper." 

And any reunion scenario should definitely include a punch in the face!

The acting all around has the potential to be stellar, as you point out.

I've often thought about how the writers are going to structure the reunion scene.   The writers have a lot to play with if they work in the Mrs. John Watson/ Mary Morstan angle.   If they decide to kill her off before they re-introduce Sherlock, (since John is a widower by the time of the 'Empty House' story),  I can see it going along the lines of:

Open with John, at a gravesite (familiar now to us),  but as the camera pans back we see he is actually in mourning over the recent sudden death of his new wife.  In following scenes, via flashback (maybe even via more therapist scenes), we learn of that chapter of his life, how she really was special, and did fill the gap of losing a best friend,  how they shared a lot in a short period of time. We'd get to see just how good she was for him,  and how she appreciated and knew instinctively how much he missed Sherlock when she first met him.

Anyway, however Sherlock re-surfaces, to this doubly-grieving Watson, I would hope there is a nod to his dear Mary.   For however grand this off-screen romance may have been,  his Sherlock graveside wish "Sherlock, please don't be dead"  should resonate with an understanding that Dr.&Mrs.W share - even if unspoken,  "Mary, please don't let Sherlock be dead"…

After the punching, and whatever between them, I do hope there's a scene which was suggested previously,  that someone gets to say 'Let's have dinner.'

Group hug?   well maybe.  But only very briefly, later, and if Mrs. Hudson is involved.

Thank you! (and please, call me Sarah ^_^) I quite liked it, I'm trying to actually get it down on paper, maybe prefect it so I won't go absolutely insane just

When I think of it in my head, it happens something along the lines of this:
John can't move on from the fact that Sherlock is dead, he's still living in the flat with Mrs. Hudson, and one day, Mrs. Hudson kicks him out of the flat, telling him that he can't sit around like a miserable puppy anymore (yeah..puppy xD) so he goes shopping for groceries (it seems to fit, since he usually shopped for Sherlock x3) and when he's coming out of the store, Sherlock is behind him and suddenly starts "Observing" him, immediately saying things like, "I've noticed you lost a lot of weight, clothes seem roughly worn out, which means you haven't really been taking care of yourself, your limp is back, which means you've been dealing with quite a lot of emotional stress, you aren't dating, or you would've gotten newer clothes and you would be (probably) be living with the girlfriend/boyfriend in question, but instead you're shopping for yourself and Mrs. Hudson, so it's safe to conclude you haven't gotten over my "death"" (while he puts quotation marks around the word death in the air

John is speechless, and all of a sudden he drops all his groceries and just stands there for a while, and rushes over to Sherlock and tentatively touches his hand, and when he sees it's actually Sherlock, he says, "Bloody hell, you're alive!" And Sherlock just shrugs and says, "Well, obviously! I'm here, aren't I?"

And all of a sudden John punches him in the face, yelling things like, "Why would you do that to me? Do you realize how it felt this past year? (it's only a year in my headcanon because 3 years is waay too long x3) How the hell did you do it?" and finally, when he calms down a little, Sherlock asks, "Better?" and he says, "Yeah.." and they do this sort of awkward hug, and they go back to Baker street together, Sherlock explains everything, and they go back to solving crimes together x3


Thr script sucks, but it's basically how I see it happen xD
I think John's part when Sherlock comes

Moriarty by far, I love his quirkiness and crazed manner, I love how he plays with Sherlock, how he finds almost everything fun (in a sort of insane way, but still x3) and mostly, I love how he's basically on the same intellectual plane as Sherlock, which makes him a worthy opponent.

My second favorite would have to be Lestrade because he has to put up with Sherlock and he does it quite well, better than I would have ever done at least ^_^
and because he truly does care for Sherlock, no matter how hard Sherlock can be to put up with, which I find amazing, and he doesn't get enough recognition imo

Hey~

My name is Sarah, I'm not really new to the fandom of Sherlock, but this is the first time I'm actually craving more of the series....both of the main actors are played amazingly, and I totally ship them together x3 (sorry if this offends anyone, just my opinion) so again, hello, I'm Sarah, and I look forward to talking to you all! ^_^ See you around!
