Oh, so I missed something! When did she say so? It's hard for me with no subtitles.

Could that be someone helping Sherlock scape? That was my first thought after "F*cking alive, what?"

OMG OMG OMG, I still don't know what exactly to think, I don't even know what I'm feeling, but it looks like the best so far, this is my first reaction, let me watch it subtitled and I'll be sure.

Let's talk about the part where Sherlock starts insulting himself. I've never seen so many insults in one only phrase and, come on, no true reason to do so. I don't consider a man who does justice and helps the police to arrest murderes a ridiculous one, he does a lot of good to compesate for his flaws. IMO, the part of the speech where he says he's rude is acceptable, the part where he says he never expected to be somebody's best friend is understandable, but when he says he's a ridiculous man and he puts it all together seems too dramatic and exagerated to sound true to me. I just don't see Sherlock Holmes doing this, because he has no reason to (actually, I don't see anybody doing this).
Well, I'd be really touched if he simply said he never expected to be someone's best friend, John is the kindest and bla bla, after all, the speech was supposed to be about John, not him.
P.S.: "idiot and obnoxious ass"?? I've met people who deserve these words more than him.

But but but...they can't leave it like that. They have to actually tell us at some point. It would be a really big cop out and a cheat if they didn't.

I agree. At this moment I'm a bit disappointed too, because I don't find it clever to leave it open, not after the 2 years they spent stimulating our theories by saying that "something was missing" and etc, it's not clever if they were just pretending to do something concrete all this time. Unfortunately I don't have much hope they will continue this 

Correct me if I missed something, but Sherlock calls Moriarty to St. Barts rooftop, doesn't he? And the possible dummy John is looking at is on St. Barts rooftop, isn't it? Does it mean Sherlock moved M's body to the other rooftop you say he is on, or the moment we see S looking at M's body while talking to John on the phone is also the cameras fooling us?

I think the American agent only fell once. Lastrade asks how many times because Sherlock had nutted him and possibly hit him (fractured ribs, punched lung etc ) so he looked like he had fallen multiple times. He was after all just a burgular that fell out of the window.

At the very first time I watched Scandal I had the same thought, but I think I got used to the idea then haha.
The reason I didn't put away the theory that he really falls and lands is exactly because nobody seems to believe it's possible, but we're talking about Sherlock here! Oddly enough I've seen - besides the "miracles" that seldom happen - some things 1. a person healthy/athletic and young has more chance of survival, 2. relaxing and bending the knees help, 3. land on the feet drives a leap, it's a chance for the person to protect the head and land sideway (which "could" explain why he was in a different position). John couldn't see the complete fall and shouldn't see S was manipulating the land. And I still need to think of everything else.
But I'll come back to reality now, ok?

I don't have a complete theory, but I wanna tell you what I was thinking. Some things (but not 54 pages) I've seen here and agree, but I hope to bring something new too. Sorry about English.
First, I don't wanna believe we have been fooled by the cameras, this is too easy. As far as possible, everything we see actually happened.
My thoughts:
Sherlock has been planning everything for a long time, since the pool meeting.  I think that during the great game Sherlock learned that: 1.Moriarty could use his friends to get to him ("I was informed I don't have a heart." "We both know it's not quite true") 2. M wanted to see him dancing, so Sherlock should be always one step ahead, but letting M think he was lost in the game.
Sherlock planned everything with Mycroft’s help. We see S asks for Mycroft's help in Hounds (An ironic "Hello, brother, dear. How are you?" phone call) but Moriarty didn't participate in that case, he wouldn’t know that. The initial plan: not letting Moriarty realize that the brothers are together.
Apparently John read the newspaper and confirmed that Sherlock’s life history was correct (“There are some things that only a close person would know”). It makes me think that Sherlock and Mycroft planned it, which could explain why Sherlock tells John he is a fake. They could control Moriarty and gain time when giving him an extra: why just kill Sherlock when he could ruin S’s reputation?
Sherlock acts in front of Moriarty the entire episode. While they’re having tea, do you think S would see Moriarty’s fingers and ignore that? No! They were talking about Bach. Sherlock plays violin, he should know Partita N. 1. Now he recognized that, he wouldn’t consider that while thinking of the code. But when he was talking to John about the code and once more the fingers come to the talk, he sees that that was M’s red herring, the Binary Code (and there’s no code). M convinced the jury, he could convince everyone of everything.
Sherlock said, “

Wonderful! Loved that, I could see him speaking while I was reading you captured the spirit of Mr. Holmes!

I don't think he's pretty. Still, I've become his fan! I think he's charming, oh yes (!!), those eyes, that voice, but the reason I admire him that much is because, being handsome or not, the man is simply full of talent, and he works on good stuff, every film I've watched so far I don't regret... (I could continue )
