The scene at the beginning was just a theory being put forward by another character (the ex-policeman). It was a theory that was instantly rubbished by Lestrade. It wasn't a real flashback.
The scene at the end was an explanation given by Sherlock, it may or may not be a real flashback.
The first decent program I have watched over the last 2 weeks. I agree with some that it was far fetched and style over substance.
At least it had some style.
Great episode, if a bit "style over substance". Hope it rates well. Terrific music from David Arnold and Michael Price. Shame about all the Underground continuity errors.
Not my favourite Sherlock basically because time had to be spent "reinstating" Sherlock so to speak, but it was still great to have it back on our screens. Looking forward to Sunday's episode.
Damn you Moffat and Gatiss for not making it absolutely clear how Sherlock faked his death!
