I'll say something about 'Tea Party'
Clues (to me) are also in the actual visuals/shot as well as music and costume. When Jim enters 221B downstairs, you first see his shadow (reference: Cesar in The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, but also Hitchcock's The Lodger).
Other moments/references that struck me: Rooftop scene: Hitchcock's Vertigo/Molly regularly wearing touches of red/music also appeared in 1999's Thomas Crown Affair/Casting/The Prestige/Key figures in the story lines are women (more so than in Doyle's time).

I think you might need to be just a little bit more specific.

Yes, please. I'm always eager to hear new theories.

Can I query the part where you mention about the person Angelo, who is prepared to go to prison for Sherlock's sake. What does this relate to? When does Sherlock require someone to go to prison for him?
When is it implied that Sherlock has killed The Woman? It is implied that his actions may have very indirectly have lead to her death but even that is debatable and as it is we know that the opposite is true in reality. He saves her.
I agree totally with the idea that Sherlock has fully prepared his 'experiment' in the Fall with Moriarty prior to going on the roof. So what is the weakness of Moriarty that Sherlock is able to exploit? His arrogance? His insanity? His ability to play such a dangerous game of chess?

I have got it.
The clues are everywhere. The writers have resurrected Sherlock. Take his words as gospel. Listen to everything that he is saying. And when you are very, very lucky, he might even talk to you. I heard him talking to me. He might tell you that you are in sparkling form and it's billiant. And when he talks to you, you will do anything for him Think.
The writers are very, very clever. I can't be the only one who has seen it.
If you find the connections in 2013 you will kick or kill yourself. Please is anybody out there who knows what I am talking about?
"what Sherlock's saying" - what do you mean? Expecially on the roof or through all episodes?
I'm sorry, no, I don't know what you are talking about...

I knew I should have left this thread closed.

"Be".
You are hinting that BBC Sherlock is made similarly to 'Lost', with clues & twists being planted throughout the entire series thus far.
You are well off the mark.
The series is shown as a 'what you see is what you get' show. It is made with the essence of the ACD canon in mind, and everything we need to know is on-screen in each individual episode. It is an exercise in logic, not in fantasy.
From Davina's post, I deduce that you posted some of your theory and have now deleted it. Obviously you had some things wrong & have removed them. So perhaps you need to restart & listen to your own words and "think".
The best way to "think" about this series is to embrace the canon idea of seemingly complex stories unravelling to simple &logical conclusions, not the other way around.
By not posting your supposedly brilliant ideas you have painted yourself exactly like another member who only posted briefly in a very similar fashion. If you had real answers that you believed in you would share them & place them up for scrutiny without deletion. To not do so is both tiresome and suggestive of their validity.
We welcome all ideas here, but we cannot discuss hidden ones & you will quickly find, as "s.he" did that the forum community will not be bothered entertaining your posts for much longer.
In short, state your case or otherwise let people get on with forum life.
