silverblaze, I'm a leftie, too. And I can write mirror image pretty well. That's, why I scrutinized that scene intensely.
Yes, we tend to overanalyze, and we should really cut them some slack, if not all the blood patterns match up after two years, when they recreated the fall, but I still maintain, that a continuity clunker, like Moriarty using one hand to mirror write in the 'live version' and using another in the surveillance video of that exact scene, shouldn't slip by. What were Andrew and the editors thinking, lol?

But overanalyzing is what's fun about it. Though people had way too much time on Reichenbach and started seeing meaning in every continuity error. This was a big one but I'd never noticed it before, due to the sheer awesomeness of the scene. 

Honestly, I don't care if they make continuity errors, or that they get some facts wrong or whatever, the storytelling is so good that it's easy to forgive.

Sorry: put past? Do you mean I can´t trust the Moff?

Euh, that's a sort of slang I picked up from tv but I'm not sure if I use it correctly since I'm not a native speaker. (Maybe someone could correct me?) You said 'they wouldn't do this', I say 'I wouldn't put it past them', meaning, 'they might just do exactly that'. 

That was exactly what I feared.

I'm frustrated now, can't imagine what I'll be like after Sunday!

Me, too. And then again two years waiting. Honestly, at the moment I could live with a super mysterious story, which is even finished at the end of HLV. I would definitely go on with discussions and wait on series 4. Why cliffhangers?
Or at least John and Sherlock standing together, like in TGG.
 

After reading the first reviews, comments and the forum the whole day (wasn't very productive at work today ) I am scared, distraught, confused, curious, excited,... did I mentioned scared .

I can't believe how much my thoughts are occupied with Sherlock at the moment. I wasn't so obsessed with a TV show since my "hardcore" Star Trek years - but I was a teenager back then. I am so glad, I have these forum otherwise I would clearly doubting my sanity .

So, although I am really afraid of Sunday because I'll probably be a sobbing misery after the episode, I am at least looking forward to our large therapy group here to whine, cry and rant the whole night . I suppose, I won't be able to find any sleep at all after HLV.

Me too, SilverMoonDragen.

I was hoping for some further development in the relationships of the characters due to the events in this episode. Negative events, but positive development of some sort. But somehow now it sounds destructive and dark. I'm really worried.

There are several big and important...developments...in character relationships.

I won't say who or what they are, or if they are good or bad.  But they are not at all glanced over in this.  In fact, they are very, very important.

I still think Mary will die. I know it's expected for her to die which is why it won't be the main twist/cliffhanger of the episode. I feel like, if they really want to hurt us, it will be something between Sherlock and John...I'm just concerned because Sherlock made his first and last vow to always protect John and Mary (and the baby), and if he fails to do that in this episode (which I'm guessing he might), he's going to feel so personally responsible...and maybe John will hate him for it too. I'm just speculating. But even if the episode ended with Sherlock and John falling out, we know that they're going to be OK again eventually, because there's a 4th Series. We just might have to wait a while.

And then there's Mycroft. I think he's going to play a major part in this for some reason, and he and Sherlock's relationship has been a bit...weird...lately.

And what's going to happen to the unborn baby, omfg, so many questions. I've only read the non-spoiler reviews and they just make me so incredibly excited and scared. Like...scared to the point where I feel sick. I'm genuinely terrified for this episode. But I want it so bad. I know that only Sherlockians will understand that.

I've never wanted an episode to air so badly ever before.  It will make your emotions run the gamut, being new and thrilling yet proper Sherlock Holmes with so many references to canon- however, don't think you will know how everything ends up, because you won't.  I think the biggest difference is that we will see new sides to all of the characters...something you just don't expect out of any of them.

I can't wait for the reactions on Sunday, I really can't XD

We all need therapy!

Don't give anything away! No matter how much we beg! Not to future me either. We might just be addicts who can't help themselves. 

But to recap: our worst fear (collectively) seems to be that something happens between John and Sherlock. Now, imagine the Moftiss, two develish man plotting out series 3. Y'reckon they might anticipate that fear and play with it? Mmmmm...
