Moriarty saying to Sherlock "...You should see me in a crown" in this episode is what inspired the famous Billie Eilish song, "You Should See Me In A Crown". 👑
Back when Sherlock was originally airing/being produced, over here in America I hadn’t discovered it, yet. (I was engrossed in Supernatural at the time.) …I remember all the Sherlock fans on Tumbler “making such a noise” over having to wait for Season/Series 3. I didn’t know, then, how loooong you were having to wait, I thought it was just a few summer months like a show in the U.S. normally would pause. NOW… (being horribly, hopelessly ADDICTED to Sherlock forever)… I have SO MUCH RESPECT/EMPATHY for what you guys had to ENDURE back then. Absolute TORTURE.🙏
@@marciebulsaraorcuttit may not have been as long as that but it felt like it lol Benedict was getting well known so I think they had to wait till he was available to film but every series was worth the wait.
Talking about this is giving me ptsd 13 year old me was in tears and hyperventilating and I ended up having a seizure mum made me addicted to this show and me thinking why only 2 series and when I found out that a 3rd was happening I almost burst with excitement super fuming about having to wait from 2012 - 2014 but my gran made me addicted to dr who so I have most of them on dvd so while waiting for a new episode every Saturday of dr who
"GOT YOU!" was the tweet Mark Gatiss tweeted right after this episode was aired, after saying for weeks in the press that it would be hard to film another series with Benedict and Martin doing so many film- and other projects. We 'only' had to wait two more years, but hey, we became good at that. But first watch the fun little extra of 'Many Happy Returns' aired on Christmas Eve, 2013, to give us something to look forward to New Years Day 2014.
This is the episode that sent the Sherlock fandom into the stratosphere. For two years, the internet was crammed with theories on how Sherlock could have possibly faked his own death. Even more fun were the theories of how he would have done it if Moriarty were alive. Martin Freeman's performance in this episode was stunning: even knowing that Sherlock had faked it, John's grief tore me apart.
This is my favourite Sherlock episode, by far. I utterly adore Andrew Scott and this was what I watched him in first for him to become my favourite actor. Seen him live multiple times and he is an utterly lush man in person, just the sweetest!
What is great about this episode (and the Jeremy Brett series) is that the public shock mirrored the shock of the reading public over 100 years ago when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off his literary creation. Except that they didnt know that he would come back until Doyle revived him through popular request a few years later.
I was going to mention that. Conan Doyle had grown sick of Holmes and decided to kill him off, but the public outcry was so great that he was then forced to "revive" Holmes.
I really have to argue against this for the final episode Season 4 as a whole has issues but if I have to pick one episode where it totally falls apart it's the final one. I'll happily defend the first three seasons despite the occasionally indulgent writing but don't pretend the finale of season 4 didn't disappear up its own arse.
Off subject, and since you mentioned it at the end of this great video; My brother is a former pro-wrestler, and his favorite response to people who talk about how pro-wrestling is fake is "You can't fake gravity." He is right. When they hit the ground, it's real. Like you said, the determination of who wins and who looses is already decided upon before they even get into the ring. But PLEASE understand that these trained professionals... YES, PROFESSIONALS (you need to go to a wrestling school and get a license to practice, true story) do get into serious accidents and some even get paralyzed if they don't do the moves correctly. They have been famous moments throughout the years where horrific accidents like that have happened even on live shows on WWE. There was one famous moment where a WWE wrestler accidentally performed a DDT wrong on another wrestler during a live broadcast match, and the wrestler receiving the DDT became permanently paralyzed The one who administered the DDT chose to never wrestle again and retired from the business. Yes. It's a stunt show. But as we all know, sometimes professionaly trained licensed stuntmen can and some do die on sets while filming. The same can be said about pro-wrestlers.
“I might be on the side of the angles, but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” The delivery of that line was👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽The whole interaction between Sherlock and Moriarty and their dialogue was a masterpiece. Moriarty was willing to die to play the game to the end and defeat Sherlock. Sherlock was ready to risk everything to save his friends. In the end who played who? Who was ten steps ahead of the other? The first episode of next season will touch on that. Season 3 is my favorite season along with season 2. I can’t wait for your reaction to that one. Specially ep2&3.
You guys are the best Sherlock reactors out there! You're right on top of every little nuance, some that honestly took me a couple watches to get. This ep just a preamble to the next, can't wait to see that reaction!
Now imagine having to wait for two years to see the next episode. 😠 Really enjoying your reaction to this great series. If you want to see the best version of Sir Conan Doyle's original stories, I'd recommend checking out Grenada TV's series from the 80s and 90s, starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes.
So glad you guys finally get to see the glory that is Andrew Scott. He is our generations (and many other generations) most accomplished actor. You should definitely react to Fleabag next. He's only in Season 2, but it's worth watching Season 1 to get there.
Public felt shock, satisfaction and massive speculation about this episode. Didn't know there would be another series. The clues of Moriarty being tired of life, were there? Sherlock being a temporary distraction from the boredom?
He also had to jump otherwise they would kill John and Mrs Hudson. So Moriarty wanted Sherlock to complete his alibi of the fraudster detective who gets found out and then takes his own life as a result… or else he loses everyone he cares about. What I want to know is what plan did he and Molly cook up before hand? And probably Mycroft as well. I think he pretended to play into Moriaty’s hands but knew what he was after the whole time, he would never be stupid enough to just give him everything Moriarty wanted to know about Sherlock. The 3 of them have been planning how to get ahead of Moriarty’s plan for a while.
😅 so glad I got hooked on this show when season 4 was about to end. Yes Benedict was becoming famous and doing amazing movies and all. But after that cliffhanger I would've flipped a table 😅
Love the episode, love the series, love your reactions. Remember, we had to wait at least 2 years to find out what happened! That said, at least they showed us Sherlock was alive! FYI - Sherlock fans too to leaving flowers at the scene (St Barts Hospital in London), Don't forget - there is a minisode to watch before series 3 (called Many Happy Returns).
Mercury is a heavy metal, while heavy metal poisoning is extremely serious it's treatable with chelating agents, stomach pumps and dialysis. On an adult, those treatments can be rough. For children it's torture in its own way.
This is actually the only episode of this series I really felt satisfied with, but that is neither here nor there. This episode is loosely based on "The Final Problem" but takes the Moriarty trial from the Rathbone movie, _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,_ and Moriarty and Holmes's meeting in Baker Street is a bit from "The Final Problem" but also from the scene with Holmes (Rathbone) and Moriarty (Henry Daniell) in _The Woman in Green,_ which Moffat and Gatiss thought was "too good not to steal."
We also had the Sherlock Holmes TV series version to refer back to with a similar "fall" but some place else. It was to be the end of the character as desired by the writer, but it did not work. It is hard to come back after a "final problem". So we have at least two solutions. And then it moved on and we got more stories. I can see wanting to write the end of a major character to complete the lifetime arc. I have seen the series several times over. Short seasons, but with depth.
I don't remember when it originally aired that they showed Sherlock at the end. I remember as we didn't know if he was alive or dead and we didn't know if there would be a continuation of the series and we had to wait SO LONG until the next series.
11:46 Nothing. Absolutely Nothing. Moriarty had so many enterprises and aliases that although Sherlock would've caught wind of him eventually he probably wouldn't have caught him until he slipped up. Moriarty like Sherlock gets bored and has a major God complex and Sherlock is the only person who could ever match up to him and so the only way he could cement himself as above man was to utterly destroy Sherlock. He knows Sherlock doesn't really care about his reputation so the only way to truly destroy Sherlock is to make him choose between the two things he loves John or himself. He failed at the end of series 1 so he had to raise the stakes this time. My running theory is that Moriarty above all was lonely but knows that Sherlock might be a bit of an anti hero but not a bad guy so would never team up with him. He would've even allowed the entire world to think that Sherlock was the mastermind of all his infamous acts. Every time he puts them in situations where they're forever linked always at a stalemate. I think Moriarty was ready to die but he didn't want to go alone he wanted a messed up version of a partner to go with.
We did see this in pretty much real time. A lot of us watched it online pretty close to when it aired, and even PBS, I think, aired it close to when the BBC did. Fans from all over the world theorised about how Sherlock faked his death.
They announced the 3rd season after the Doctor who 50th anniversary special in November 2013 that was a fantastic day because over a year had passed and they were like more to come yay
Now.... Season 3 isn't for 2 years, and everyone on the internet were throwing out theories as to "HOW??" and Steven Moffat USED a bunch of the theories in season 3, Episode 1. Have fun! You only have to ponder for a week! Lol!!
Sherlock Holmes in the stories had the Great Hiatus, a three-year period when he was presumed dead, but for the reading public, it was ten years before "The Empty House," when Holmes officially returned from the dead. _(The Hound of the Baskervilles_ was published between, but that was a posthumous adventure that took place sometime prior to Holmes's "death.") I do prefer the book version of Moriarty, who is aggravated because Holmes is getting in the way of his business rather than being an obsessed with Sherlock and game playing. The killer obsessed with the detective is a modern cliché, I'm afraid.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wanted to kill off Holmes, having grown sick of the character and the obsessive fandom. He wanted to be known for his other imaginative writing. So he wrote The Final Problem which has Holmes and Moriarty plunge spectacularly to their deaths in the Reichenbach Falls, in the Swiss alps. The fans went nuts… Holmes was brought back from the dead in the early 20th century.
"The only reason he's still in a prison cell is because he chose to be there." Are we talking about Moriarty, Loki, or Khan? Or was it The Joker? Maybe Silva from Skyfall? Such a tired trope.

The wait after this episode was ✨EXCRUCIATING✨

Wait. WHAT?! Didn't know this before. Ta, 💟
Really??? That's awesome
I was just thinking about that song and his line. Crazy
i love making up lies too
Didn’t know Eillish was such a massive fan of British drama series , especially one that came out when she was about 8 years old 😂
We had to wait, I think it was 2 years for the next series. Didnt know if there was going to be another series.

the BBC did a good job with this one. Another good Holmes rework is Elementary, I really enjoyed that one too.
TWO BLOODY YEARS we had to wait!!
This channel is CARRYING right now🔥 you guys need to do Broadchurch asap
Oh yes, yes, yes, please
@@NickwBush omg that shows amazing
@@NickwBush yessss especially since they watch Doctor Who, would be very interesting
Yess if they like the other uk shows the will love broadchurch plus David Tennant in it
Sherlock is a 9.8 show in every episode and season, almost perfect, my favorite tv show, glad that you like it
I really have to argue against this for the final episode

"You go to jail? We go to jail" hahahahaha yall are crushing these reactions!
I love that Rekkai said he Palpatined him!

At least you don't have to wait 18 months to find out how they did it like we did when it was first shown.
Some of the fans felt so bad for Molly that someone wrote some fanfics where she gets with Mycroft
That was an interesting pairing
😅 so glad I got hooked on this show when season 4 was about to end. Yes Benedict was becoming famous and doing amazing movies and all. But after that cliffhanger I would've flipped a table 😅

Now.... Season 3 isn't for 2 years, and everyone on the internet were throwing out theories as to "HOW??" and Steven Moffat USED a bunch of the theories in season 3, Episode 1.
Have fun! You only have to ponder for a week! Lol!!
you're really gonna hate the cliffhanger at the end of s3. And s4? Can't wait to see you react to them!
Score is correct, unless there's a difference word for TV vs movies: it's the music you hear while watching 😊
Sherlock inconvenienced Moriarty. Simple as that. He interfered with his plans and disrupted his criminal empire.
Please watch "Many Happy Returns" short, before the third season.
Reichbach is in Switzerland not Germany.
Sherlock Holmes in the stories had the Great Hiatus, a three-year period when he was presumed dead, but for the reading public, it was ten years before "The Empty House," when Holmes officially returned from the dead. _(The Hound of the Baskervilles_ was published between, but that was a posthumous adventure that took place sometime prior to Holmes's "death.")
I do prefer the book version of Moriarty, who is aggravated because Holmes is getting in the way of his business rather than being an obsessed with Sherlock and game playing. The killer obsessed with the detective is a modern cliché, I'm afraid.
And Doyle fully intended to leave it as his last story. He killed him off to put a line under it. But public opinion changed his mind, eventually.
Do watch the Christmas special.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wanted to kill off Holmes, having grown sick of the character and the obsessive fandom. He wanted to be known for his other imaginative writing. So he wrote The Final Problem which has Holmes and Moriarty plunge spectacularly to their deaths in the Reichenbach Falls, in the Swiss alps. The fans went nuts… Holmes was brought back from the dead in the early 20th century.
Another rough Cliffhanger.
Late to the game, don't feel the Pain.
Sherlock could have hired the actor to date Molly, though.
Without spoiling, Season III is my favourite, especially for Ep II - I'm a sucker for that kind of story! You'll see.... ❤
Theory ... Did they replace the joker with Harley Molly Quinn?
The last good series of Sherlock (series 3 & 4 are bad)
What is hapaning the wild robort video
Don't worry. The episodes only get better. The next one is so much fun!
"The only reason he's still in a prison cell is because he chose to be there."

Relatively new to the channel but why does he always stick his tongue out when he laughs?
