Everytime i watch this episode i always end up sobbing. And i cry even harder when o see this part in which sherlock is watching john. I have trirmed greatly to contain myself from screaming at sherlock. "OH MY GAWD WHY CANT YOU JUST YELL OUT TO HIM GOF DAMN IT GO LIVE ON YOUR OWN ISLAND WITH HIM GAAWWDD TELL HIM YOURE ALIVe!!" you guys, if they dont reunite in the first season im going to pull a moriarty AND a sherlock. Hmph.
MARTIN, YOU ARE AMAZING. Poor John- he has to live on, depressed, without the man who made his life change completely. In the Empty House, the book after Reichenbach, John fainst when he sees Sherlock.
I loved when John got emotional there. It showed that he had doubt about Sherlock dieing. I just hated to see him like that. I was sad when I saw the head stone. The BIGGEST smile broke out onto my face when I saw Sherlock their looking at John. Cant wait for the new episodes!
my face spread into a huge smile at the end. even though i was still crying, i thought just how john would react after finding out he was alive. he would probobly go find him... and choke him :D
John has lost the one thing that pulled him out of what was basically a sleepwalking existence, and sure, he's nearly been blown up and killed several times, but in the end, he's left without his friend, and thus without much of a life at all.
And Sherlock's lost his home, his friends, his ability to solve cases, which is really what keeps him sane, or as sane as he can get....pretty much everything.
@willkillyoulast But wait, there's supposed to be another season - the third was commissioned the same time as the second.... and besides, this series is just too good to end like this! T-T
@pegasusdreams1 I know, I know, but until we see Season 3...this is all I'll be able to think aboutin relation to Sherlock. Along with how much I LOVE the show, yes, but still...alas, there is more to come! :-)
Okay, I didn't cry during this scene. But I had this awful, numbing pain in my chest that stayed there all day long. Their reunion is going to make me cry, though...lots of punching and hugging. Oh yes. BBC HURRY UP WITH SERIES 3 IF YOU WOULD AND GET IT TO AMERICA NOW
There's a video on John's blog (in the last post 'Untilted'), but I can't play it. Please someone help me find it on youtube if it is possible! Thanks!
I kept thinking Sherlock was hiding behind the tree and that he would pop out and scare John or that he would dig his way out of his own grave. But him off in the distance sulking is good too.
To reference Frankenstein, in honour of Benny Cumberbatch's performance...
"HE'S... ALIIVE!!!!!"
I bet Sherlock's bugged his gravestone so he can listen to everyone that visits him.
(And as much as I love Sherlock, I hope John punches him for doing this. And making us all wait a year to conclusively find out how the hell he did it.)
I watched it like 4 times. Each time I cried really quickly, then stopped, then watched it again and started crying again. >_< Stop being dead Sherlock, I love you.
I think Sherlock is actually really quite guilty and sad, just doesnt show it. If you look at his eyes, they r quite emotional. Still, can't w8 for when John faints!! :D itll be so cute!
howevs, I have heard in the loop that John punches Sherlock in the face when he wakes up. Unfortunately, I find that more likely.
Sherlock doesn't seem sad at all, he looks like " Well this was all planned, too bad John is so sad, he'll be mad at me when he finds out I tricked him same way as with the baskerville hound"
@Aikafly My thoughts exactly. Sherlock doesn't show emotion even if he does feel them. That is what I think is the "out of character" bit that Gatiss is talking about, the fact that he showed emotion only on the rooftop. Rhododendron Ponticum side effects possibly?
@eryberrie Rhodendron Ponticum is the poison from Baskerville, right?
Doubt it could be its side effects because if you look at John's blog, he is writing about the Baskerville case the 16th march and about the death of Sherlock 16th June. I don't think it would last a couple of months before the effects of the poison would appear? But you got a point in Sherlock only showing emotion at the rooftop.
@Aikafly Not sure if RP was the Baskerville drug. It was a name of a flower that Sherlock mentions to John when he is trying to find the disused sweet factory. Sherlock could have administered the poison to himself on the rooftop.
@RoziBadgerNinja24842 If you want to, I can send you a link for the episode. I saw them on the internet too (being the only person in my country who knows about this show). I'm not spaming or anything, I just want to help.
The look on Sherlock's face... oh god, that killed me. You can just tell how much it's hurting Sherlock to watch John say those things at his grave, to hear John literally begging Sherlock not to be dead, and not being able to comfort him in some way.
Everybody knows that after Watson fainted and woke up again, he punched Sherlock in the face. I would like to see them do this in the RDJ version, too!
When i saw sherlock the first time. I watched this, i went into hysterics. Laughing cuz hes alive and i knew it all along, crying cuz its so damn tragic, swearing at sherlock for being such a dick for making john cry, and loving that sherlock knows what he did kils john and feeling visibly terrible for it (even if it was to save him)
you know who I want to talk to? Mrs. Holmes. I mean who's their mother anyway? Who raised these two super-intelligent boys so that they didn't know affection and were seemingly unable to feel compassion for anyone? Is there back story of that in the books at all?
@hereverydayadventure I reckon they are dead, but I have a tiny, random, unexplained hunch that Sherlock was adopted and Mycroft is related. Just a hunch
If they make the episode where Sherlock reveals himself to John anything like "Empty House" it's going to be funny as hell! Although I've got the feeling that John'll probably punch him at some point!
Something i love about this scene is the larger than life trust that Watson has in Sherlock. He doesnt really understand HOW Sherlock could survive. But he has trust that Sherlock can survive.
Anyone else notice John looks like he is limping a little bit again as he walks away? Poor John Sherlock was the one that mad him get over that limp and now without him it returns...
@Salaxxxxx That's what broke me. John's sadness was depressing, but that look on Sherlock's face says it all. I swear, you can see in his eyes how much he wants to run over to his friend and let him know he's okay, but then you see his sadness when he knows he can't. So incredibly heartbreaking...
@Hey93Jude isn't it? :) they haven't released a date yet. the co-creators like to keep us on tenterhooks. it may not be until 2013, though. martin freeman is busy being frodo and benedict cumberbatch is busy being smaug the dragon for 'the hobbit.' :) :)
@Hey93Jude it's just speculation. who knows? but really, three minutes is a long wait imo :D. that's why i re-watch episodes and have become addicted to fan videos :D. so happy that these are here.
I don't think John will take it well that his best friend did this to him, but I would love it if when they reconcile they have a hug. Sherlock and John aren't gay but they're sort of soul mates.
@eryberrie Gah, thank you! I don't think they're gay, either, but I'm pretty sure that, British though they may be, there's going to be a bit of hugging on both sides when they're finally reunited. If John doesn't murder Sherlock himself... :D
@eryberrie If it stays true to the book, he'll be all sorts of pissed but he'll get over it. Also, don't be so sure that they aren't gay. Doyle never said anything to the contrary and it would be sort of adorable if they wound up together.
@KiltAllen if it stays true to books, after his wife dies sherlock will secretly buy his new home from him with a better that expected selling price under a fake identity so that Watson will have no excuse not to move back in with him. seriously. The Adventure of the Norwood Builder.
I imagen John giving him a good punch in the face and then give him the most loving hug in history and then realize how gay it looks and back off akwardly "ahumh...glad you'r back..."
@TindraSan Yeah, so many people have said that a punch is on the cards, Gatiss and Moffat if you are reading, we need a punch and a hug - in that order!
Why do you think Sherlock is watching John at his grave? Do you think it was to make sure John was 'okay'? Because surely it would have hurt Sherlock watching John cry over his grave like that :'(
@Eriks0Angel I think Sherlock is there because he figures if John has to suffer the pain of Sherlock's "death" then Sherlock should suffer John's pain. It's Sherlock's punishment for what he did to his friend.
There are all sorts of interesting ideas in the original stories that were just touched on and I had always wished could be dealt with in much more depth in movies, and in this series my wishes are being fulfilled. This is so satisfying!!!
I have never been so releived to see that culy haird collar-done-up-so-he-looks-cool-with-his-cheekbones bloke in my life, as soon as i saw him i was like..ahhhhhhh, i can breath again.
i wonder if the new series will begin straight after this moment, with sherlock revealing that he is still alive to john, or whether it will begin a while after with john already knowing...the first option will be better in my opinion
@reduolf If they stay true to canon in spirit, which they've done so far, then we'll see Sherlock surprise John with an "I'm alive" moment. And John's reaction should be priceless. Wonder if they'll stick to canon for that one. ;) They've done it so far, even to having Holmes watch as Watson mourns his death...
@kamwrites Part of Reichenbach Fall part 2 is already filmed. At least thats what it says on wikipedia. I honestly dont know if jan 2013 is a definite goal but I certainly hope so.
I think the book reunion is great, and I'd have no problem with it, but this John seems like the kind of guy who would punch Sherlock immediately after he came to. Or before. Whichever is funnier.
@skatinanwaitin that was my first thought. whenever he's gonna see that Sherlock is not dead, he's going to break his nose or something, because he fooled him like that.
In the story "Adventure of the Empty House" which is when Sherlock reveals himself to be alive to John in the books, John faints. I think this would be not only fantastically cute in Series 3 but true to the stories and realistic.
GATISS IF YOU'RE READING THIS PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.
@daffodil977 NO John should look at him and just stare then Sherlock will try to say something and then John will punch him in the face. Cut to opening credits.
am i the only one to consider that maybe the sherlock we're seeing is actually a ghost?
lame, i know, and it's not that i want him to be dead, but of all the theories i've read, no ones said that one, so just putting it out there...let the retorts begin...XI
@bookmaniac2013 I'd say I agree with you if there isn't a third season, I'd accept that...
But, since there will be a season three, we can assume he's not a ghost. XP (Although, I do know that in the original books that the author originally intended for him to stay dead...but his fans wanted more...so he wrote more.)
When I saw this episode and the scee when john says don't be dead I cried. Tears were raining on my face. But whe the camera slided to Sherlock's face I was like OMG ,WTF and I KNEW THAT EPISODE CAN'T END LIKE THAT at the same time. But even now when I know that Sherlock is alive I cry every time I see his jump or this scene. :'(
@iamverysherlocked I literally had the exact same reaction! I was just kind of tearing up for first part, but then he said don't be dead, and I lost it.
I think that when John was pushed down by the biker he was gassed by the same chemical for "The Hounds of Baskerville" that he and Sherlock uncover. John hallucinates the blood, and the spectators where Sherlock's hooligans he hires for intelligence on the streets. Sherlock's "dead" body is whisked away and given to Molly and Moriarty may be in Sherlock's grave instead. There is also no continuos shot during Sherlock's fall, making it even more possible that he was on a wire of some sort.
I was yelling "NO NO NO NO NO!!!" All through his suicide scene. Then I was crying like a baby through the funeral. Then when he was standing there as John walked away I was like "I knew it! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
Am I the only one who can hear Morgan Freeman narrating as the camera circles Sherlock's face at the end? You know, something like "It was then that Sherlock truly realized, after all his years in solitary comfort and painful numbness, how much John had changed him, for he was now able to perform a strange feat against his will - that he could feel more than he could be bothered to feel; that he felt, by some bitter miracle, exactly as his best friend did...."
@Procrastina777 Well, I didn't before, but now I can't not hear it when I rewatched (and again and again). Can't shake it out of my head, and it is AWESOME!
The fact that we knew he was still alive doesn't make it easier to watch it. I really cried a lot... it was devastating to see John's reaction and how lonely he became without Sherlock. Just like he was before Sherlock. >': Benny and Martin = A++
even though i have access to these episodes I just can't watch them. The emotions in these clips is just to much for me to even think about getting 90 minutes of it
jesus this has to be the best thing the bbc have done in a long time. both of them are amazing as sherlock and watson. i think this is better than the films!!!!!!! cant wait for the 3rd season.
@thebearbaiter1 Hmmm...I grew up with Jeremy Brett, so he's my Holmes. ;) But Benedict is plain awesome. I adore what they've done with this series, and it's so fun to catch all the references. Modern day perfection.
Will this ever stop being sad? Even though we know he's still alive, both characters went through the ringer in this episode.
However, I firmly believe Moriarty's still alive. Sure, two supposed deaths and subsequent 'resurrections' might be too much, but we know for sure something will have to make Sherlock reveal his very-much-alive self when the show returns, and what else WOULD bring him out bur Moriarty? I just wonder what it is Moriarty will do? I love watching evil clever people scheming.
@MsSherLocked Probably, when John finds out Sherlock faked his dead, he's gonna punch him half to death because he fooled him. At least, that's what I think he'd do. :)
@viikidavikingful Don't worry. I won't hurt him...much;) I still love him of course<3 I mean seriously I don't think I can ever really punch those lovely cheekbones8D
I love how Benedict has a way of showing all the emotions Sherlock is feeling without saying a word or even changing his expression too much. You see him in this scene and you know that he's hurting for John, even though his face is as stoic as ever. He sort of looks away at the end, and the fact that he's even there watching John...
And Martin. Oh my god, Martin. He is absolutely perfect in this scene. That's all I can say about him.
These two, and their chemistry, are perfect. This show. <3
The most heart-wrenching thing about this is that John knows, somewhere deep inside, that Sherlock isn't dead, but everyone and everything is telling him that he is. So he's pretty much begging Sherlock to tell him he's not crazy, to show him that he's alive and put him back together. He's asking Sherlock for something he doesn't even know is possible simply because he can't handle the alternative, which is living without Sherlock. And Sherlock has to sit there and listen to that.
Everytime i watch this episode i always end up sobbing. And i cry even harder when o see this part in which sherlock is watching john. I have trirmed greatly to contain myself from screaming at sherlock. "OH MY GAWD WHY CANT YOU JUST YELL OUT TO HIM GOF DAMN IT GO LIVE ON YOUR OWN ISLAND WITH HIM GAAWWDD TELL HIM YOURE ALIVe!!" you guys, if they dont reunite in the first season im going to pull a moriarty AND a sherlock.

And Sherlock's lost his home, his friends, his ability to solve cases, which is really what keeps him sane, or as sane as he can get....pretty much everything.

I don't think John will take it well that his best friend did this to him, but I would love it if when they reconcile they have a hug. Sherlock and John aren't gay but they're sort of soul mates.
eryberrie 3 weeks ago 108
@eryberrie Gah, thank you! I don't think they're gay, either, but I'm pretty sure that, British though they may be, there's going to be a bit of hugging on both sides when they're finally reunited. If John doesn't murder Sherlock himself... :D

@eryberrie If it stays true to the book, he'll be all sorts of pissed but he'll get over it. Also, don't be so sure that they aren't gay. Doyle never said anything to the contrary and it would be sort of adorable if they wound up together.

Why do you think Sherlock is watching John at his grave? Do you think it was to make sure John was 'okay'? Because surely it would have hurt Sherlock watching John cry over his grave like that :'(

@Eriks0Angel I think Sherlock is there because he figures if John has to suffer the pain of Sherlock's "death" then Sherlock should suffer John's pain. It's Sherlock's punishment for what he did to his friend.

i wonder if the new series will begin straight after this moment, with sherlock revealing that he is still alive to john, or whether it will begin a while after with john already knowing...the first option will be better in my opinion
reduolf 4 weeks ago
@reduolf If they stay true to canon in spirit, which they've done so far, then we'll see Sherlock surprise John with an "I'm alive" moment. And John's reaction should be priceless. Wonder if they'll stick to canon for that one. ;) They've done it so far, even to having Holmes watch as Watson mourns his death...

In the story "Adventure of the Empty House" which is when Sherlock reveals himself to be alive to John in the books, John faints. I think this would be not only fantastically cute in Series 3 but true to the stories and realistic.

But, since there will be a season three, we can assume he's not a ghost. XP (Although, I do know that in the original books that the author originally intended for him to stay dead...but his fans wanted more...so he wrote more.)

I think that when John was pushed down by the biker he was gassed by the same chemical for "The Hounds of Baskerville" that he and Sherlock uncover. John hallucinates the blood, and the spectators where Sherlock's hooligans he hires for intelligence on the streets. Sherlock's "dead" body is whisked away and given to Molly and Moriarty may be in Sherlock's grave instead. There is also no continuos shot during Sherlock's fall, making it even more possible that he was on a wire of some sort.

Am I the only one who can hear Morgan Freeman narrating as the camera circles Sherlock's face at the end? You know, something like "It was then that Sherlock truly realized, after all his years in solitary comfort and painful numbness, how much John had changed him, for he was now able to perform a strange feat against his will - that he could feel more than he could be bothered to feel; that he felt, by some bitter miracle, exactly as his best friend did...."

Will this ever stop being sad? Even though we know he's still alive, both characters went through the ringer in this episode.
However, I firmly believe Moriarty's still alive. Sure, two supposed deaths and subsequent 'resurrections' might be too much, but we know for sure something will have to make Sherlock reveal his very-much-alive self when the show returns, and what else WOULD bring him out bur Moriarty? I just wonder what it is Moriarty will do? I love watching evil clever people scheming.

I love how Benedict has a way of showing all the emotions Sherlock is feeling without saying a word or even changing his expression too much. You see him in this scene and you know that he's hurting for John, even though his face is as stoic as ever. He sort of looks away at the end, and the fact that he's even there watching John...
And Martin. Oh my god, Martin. He is absolutely perfect in this scene. That's all I can say about him.
These two, and their chemistry, are perfect. This show. <3

LadyTwinklee 1 month ago
The most heart-wrenching thing about this is that John knows, somewhere deep inside, that Sherlock isn't dead, but everyone and everything is telling him that he is. So he's pretty much begging Sherlock to tell him he's not crazy, to show him that he's alive and put him back together. He's asking Sherlock for something he doesn't even know is possible simply because he can't handle the alternative, which is living without Sherlock. And Sherlock has to sit there and listen to that.
My heart.</3
