For me the funniest moment in this episode actually comes right at the end...and it made me laugh out loud...

When John and Mrs Hudson are standing at Sherlock's grave...John says he's really angry, and Mrs Hudson says "me too" then launches into this big tirade about how messy Sherlock was and how he was always leaving things lying around and she goes on and on, and John says "ok I'm not THAT angry". I just found that really funny...

Watched this episode again today and I really think the tea scene contains a lot of interesting stuff...

1. Moriarty talks about the Final Problem several times (which was of course the title of the original story), and he tells Sherlock he's already told him what it was but did he listen...what does he mean by that? And what is the final problem - Sherlock himself, and how to get rid of him?

2. Is it coincidence that when he talks about a "fall" he mimics falling from a great height and smashing on the floor (like what happened)...is he talking about a metaphorical fall or is he planning a literal fall - does he already know that a tall building will be involved??

3. What is it about I.O.U.? I know what it means of course (I Owe You) and I know that people use the letters IOU but does it have any special significance within this episode...Moriarty really put emphasis on the words at the end - was he trying to give a clue to something?

Could it be the clue we all missed? Nah, probably not...but fun none the less.

Right - but he's not attracted TO her, just interested in her and interested in how love/emotions work...

Yeah, I think it works that he doesn't wear protective clothing - it fits in with Anderson's comment about him messing up the crime scene. He's too arrogant to wear protective clothing of course. 

And come to think of it - there's that scene in Belgravia when they're talking about Irene being a dominatrix and Mycroft tells Sherlock not to be alarmed, and he says "sex doesn't alarm me" and Mycroft says "how would you know" or something like that...and Sherlock looks a bit put out...indicating that he probably hasn't had any relationships before.

Aaah yes, I remember that now.

John on the other hand, eats a lot more often - although rarely gets chance to finish his food because Sherlock is always rushing him off doing things! I find that pretty funny - the way they're sat in restaurants & cafes and stuff, John's eating Sherlock isn't, then suddenly Sherlock just dashes off and John has to run after him abandoning his food. Poor John!

Does anyone have any ideas about how we can spread the word about this forum and get more people to join??

I've posted messages on most of the Facebook Sherlock related pages and on imDb. Any other ideas?

Not yet, I'll put it on my LoveFilm list I think.

Yeah, they should do it in time for New Year's Day again, or perhaps Jan 6th 2013 - Sherlock's birthday is Jan 6th so that'd be a nice touch.
