BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / So, this is the end?!

So for me this sounded like the end I mean there was no cliffhanger and a "final speech"... This episode was so strange! It was fantastic but also so shocking! I nearly died :D They cant end that please just dont ((

What are your thoughts?! Gonna post some thoughts later... Yet I am still to upset

For me it is the end. I am not sure it is THE end though.

Oh, my God, I only want to cry rivers... Don't let be the end! What a wonderful show! But it sounded pretty final to me.

Perhaps its just a joke... I mean we all know the humor of the writers... I just cant believe it! They cant do that to us that way!

I'm in the same boat as Sherlock's Curl here... (desperate trying to find it)

There was a footage of them rebuilding the 221B, then having some clients there, then the two run out of a building, supposedly solving a case.

Yeah, that really had a feeling of being an end. And I can live with that. I thought it was an amazing journey.

And ending is just the beginning of something else.
We saw Sherlock journey from being a great man to being a good man as well.
I am very happy.

You're so mature, my fellow Sherlockians. I can't cope right now with the end of Sherlock. I think there would be material for more episodes and good seasons. I just can't accept this is the end. It's like saying goodbye forever to a very good friend.

I really, really hope this is not the actual end.... that we would get some new episode in the future, a special at least....

We got a couple seconds of Tom Hiddleston after the end of the credits, or have I imagined that???!!

i fear they did but at least they let a new Movie open... this i think is because the 2 main actors ars so buissy it will take ages to get them together for this.

I suppose it can serve as an end... but it was a very open end. And I take my comfort in the fact that the entire team loves doing it.

And we all know the fans can wait!

I broke down crying in the last 30 seconds and then sobbed all through the credits.

It seemed really such a perfect, neat ending, and like we've come full circle from ASIP and it felt very FINAL.

I agree. A wonderful ending.

Yes, my tears started flowing when Lestrade said that and I'm still crying (I just finished the episode, I waited for it being on the iPlayer to have subtitles).

Yes, I think it's the end, and I'm ok with it. I didn't expect what we saw tonight, I'm overwhelmed, heartbroken and overjoyed at the same time. And I think the end was perfect.

Oh, I felt tears at the end but I cried during several other parts as well.

It seemed like an end that would work either as the end of series 4 before a new one is made or the ending of the show, period. There was a sense of completeness, that life goes on and we love the adventures, the legend lives on, no matter what happens to the show.

I would still be a little sad if we never got any more. I would miss the show. But if this is the end we get, then it's a fairly satisfying one.
