The name is Theodore. Hi.
First of all let me say that im not here to tell you some amazing theory on how Sherlock and Moriarty faked suicides at each other. Now that we got that out of the way i can tell you my opinion.
First of all let's go back to the roof. Sherlock and Moriarty are on top of it and they are talking about something ( for me to make this point we do not need to say here what they are talking about we all know what it was ), so let's look at this logically, they are both very smart people, neither of which would come there without a plan or a purpose. So we know that they both had something planned out, for Sherlock we found out what it was and for Moriarty we only had a glimpse of his plan in the end of "His last Vow". So knowing this we can say:
1. Moriarty faked his suicide and it is all part of his game.
2. Moriarty is dead but his plan lives on.
3. Moriarty is just dead. But wait, this doesn't just make sence like that. We said earlier that they both probably had a plan. Well knowing Moriarty he could have predicted that his death would be too simple for Sherlock and everyone else since he had a reputation of a very nasty unbeatable spider, and that that reputation would start to confuse them and that they would start making irrational thoughts, especially when someone uses his face after his "death" to scare the crap out of the British government. So basicly 3. Is Someone else is using Moriarty's face.
4. Moriarty isn't who we think he is.
5. Mycroft made all of this up so he would keep his little brother from taking drugs and going mad.
These 5 possibilities are the most popular among all the theories.
But of course im not here to tell you something that was already predicted and what was already told.
Im here to tell you the 6th.
So let's start by saying Moriarty and Sherlock have showed equal intelligence and potential and maybe Moriarty showed even more than Sherlock. But that isn't the topic here.
We have been informed that Sherlock doesn't like riddles and games. Well i can say that that isn't true based on everything that has been happening through all the episodes. Psychologically knowing Sherlock he would do anything just to have a very puzzling crime to solve, and puzzling crimes are a lot like games which Moriarty enjoys playing (which are basicly crimes that are brilliantly done). So why stick to the basic mind pattern "Sherlock VS Moriarty" if we know all of this. Sherlock isn't really known for respecting the law too much and he wouldn't even care for the police and the safety of the government if there weren't any cool puzzles around. So why not start thinking that it is Sherlock and Moriarty playing the game. What better way to play the game than to confuse everyone into thinking that it is over. We all know that Sherlock would have gone on that mission in the end of His last Vow if there wasn't for that clip "Did you miss me?".
So if they are both addicted to the same thing and + are the only two people able to entertain each other, why the hell would they want to eliminate each other?! Why not just play the game on a different level. This to me makes a lot of sense and i really can't figure out any better way to continue this series than going with Sherlock and Moriarty not wanting the game to stop. Which would also make us fans really happy since there would be Sherlock forever and ever and ever and ever. Ok maybe not but you get the point. So i say in the end here for those who didn't want to bother reading this biggish text and just skipped to the end to see the point, "Sherlock AND Moriarty not Sherlock VS Moriarty", The only one who can fool Mycroft is Sherlock Holmes, even Mycroft said it.This is why i think Sherlock won't be so suprised about Moriarty's return. And i think he missed him. So tell me what you think of this i would love to hear your opinion. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
