Am I the only one to say that Benedict was superb in that final episode? Martin gets the plaudits quite rightly but Benedict gets overlooked.
Benedict took a while to grow on me - probably because he's such a different Sherlock to those that've gone before, plus when Sherlock started, I'd not seen him in anything else. But yes, I think he's great and his performance in this episode was excellent..I think it must be quite a challenging role because he often has quite a range of characteristics and emotions to portray; I've come to really like his acting. |

I found Sherlock's disappearing act with John on the bench interesting. John turned to Sherlock but he was gone and before that Sherlock came back to John so it seemed as if it was in the wrong order.

What about Mycroft, Lestrade and Molly?
They would be expecting a body. If it didn't actually happen and Moriarty didn't die on the roof then that leaves a lot more questions as to why Moriary just disappeared and non of them mentioned him again, especially when Sherlock returned. |

Who said they didn't find a body? If Sherlock can produce a dead body out of thin air to fake his own death why can't Moriarty? There's quite a nice bit of Sherlock-like humour to the idea of them both simultaneously faking their deaths so neither one notices the other is doing it (at the time at least).
Molly would have had full access. Mycroft probably would have had some details on him also that could be used to prove authenticity. |

I've always loved Martin Freeman's acting - he can portray so much emotion in such an understated way ( I know he's not to everyone's taste, though).

It can be his quiet moments when he sits in his chair and thinks, simple as that but difficult to do for some, though Mrs Hudson's tea must help sometimes.
![]() actually I think Una Stubbs is a joy in this, too![]() She never really seems to age much, either. |

Janine is a tough cookie, if anything it looked like she was fooling Sherlock and Sherlock was fooling Janine.
At the wedding she even said he would be useful.

I'm just after watching The Hounds of Baskerville on RTE. Looking at the way Henry Knight's character behaved, (especially the way he nearly ate his gun), I wonder if Moriarty was a victim of whatever drug was in that fog. It would explain the unhinged behaviour and the suicidal tendencies.

About the key.
There was only two versions of it. The one in the fire is the only one different then the others. If they had to redo the scene and the original prop was burned, the logical response would have been 'we simply won't do a close-up because people will spot that'. Possibly what gomezz suggested that it was the other side of the stick; if it's an enormous prop mistake, that's probably the excuse they're gonna use. IMO there's only three options: -it's an enormous and imbecile prop mistake -it's the other side of the stick in the fire -Watson switched and it's going to have repercussions later |

Still don't understand why Magnussen had 'Hounds of Baskerville' as a pressure point for Sherlock. |

He's been the best Moriarty I've ever seen btw - it takes some fine-tuned acting skills to portray him being that unhinged without turning the character into a complete parody. Much has been said on these threads about the outstanding acting in this whole series, and I comprehensively include Scott in that list. Ah come on let's have Moriarty back. He is after all Holmes's ultimate nemesis, and he's just such great fun ![]() PS not sure about the sudden suicidal tendencies - again, that doesn't really add up, does it? |

I do like the idea that Sherlock was responsible for the video of Moriaty so he could stay behind.
So he arranged to commit one last crime from beyond the grave - and he filmed himself for it in advance. |

Perhaps Redbeard will turn out not to be very important but we don't know the full story yet IMO |

Surely Andrew Scott's Moriarty has been completely unhinged right from the start?

Re the bit in bold - the HOUND thing started back in the 1980s so Moriarty could have been a victim of it right from the start. There's just something about the way that episode ended, with Mycroft saying let him go, and the cell full of Sherlock written all over the walls, that makes me think hmmmm.

Toward the fun of scratching our heads over details
![]() ![]() I think I may be on to something here though. There's really no need for that scene at the end of Hounds of Baskerville at all, its comletely superfluous because we never even saw Moriarty being arrested. Last time we saw him he was wandering round in front of Big Ben merrily taunting Mycroft by text message. So why the need to show us Moriarty being released from a cell at the end of an episode about government mind control experiments which drive people mad? |
