Nah, Moriarty's not coming back...he did kind of blow his brains out.

He does have a couple of brothers though.

Brothers. That would be interesting...

Is that from canon?

I agree. We need more political parties in the US, and it needs to be less corrupt. And people need to actually know about the candidates and system. If people are just going to vote along party lines, nothing's going to change.

On impact? If a net or similar was used to break the fall there would be no impact, just a time when the body eventually lays on the ground.
& what you see is just one camera  angle; you don't 'see' many things, lol.

True...but unless there's a time lapse between shots, it would be pretty hard to make the net work.

My point is that if they did use a net, someone on the street probably would have seen it, and reported it. Therefore there wouldn't have been those news reports on John's blog about Sherlock dying.

I think Moffat or Gatiss said something about there possibly being a long stream of swear words on John's part, too...

Well, it makes sense that Sherlock's afraid of Moriarty, doesn't it? I mean, he's kind of just like Sherlock, except he doesn't care about other people, and he doesn't care about dying. There's a thread somewhere about Sherlock having Asperger's vs. Moriarty being a high functioning sociopath. I guess that's why Sherlock's afraid of him.

What I don't understand is why the movement of the bow doesn't fit the music AT ALL? I fully understand that BC is not a violinist, but when you watch him play We Wish You A Merry Christmas, it's just completely out of sync. Surely after going through all the trouble with the coach etc., they could have told him beforehand how the scene would be scored?

I think he said he played violin in the SiB DVD commentary...but you're right. It makes no sense that it's out of sync.

Keep it folded till needed; use it & then toss it in the truck leaving.

I went back and watched the fall yet again. There's a shot right at impact, and there's not sign of a net anywhere. There's no sign of any people, either.

Thanks. Partially...my username has three meanings  . I'll post it in Meet the Members eventually.

If he had taken the Rhododendron Poticum, it still wouldn't have saved him from a fall from the top of St Bart's. So if he did indeed use it (which I personally don't think he did), it still wouldn't be the whole solution.
This brings us back to the question of how he survived the fall itself. A lot of people have suggested that the homeless network used a net to break his fall. I suppose that would work, but a net would be hard to conceal, so even if John didn't see it, other people would have. Also, in the shot from above right after Sherlock fell, there's no sign of a net anywhere, and it's pretty hard to hide a net in a second or two.
So how else could he have survived the fall?

I know it was in Boston. Definitely in a church. Although I'm not sure on the specifics.

Finally got around to registering on here, so hi 
I'm from Iowa, in the USA. I live in a city, not on a farm or one of those stereotypical small Iowa towns.
I've been obsessed with Sherlock since the second season aired in the US.
I have no idea what else to put on here, so goodbye
