In the books it is here in this story Sherlock dies. But then many readers complained to the author about it .... waiting for the next season :D

[@mbavdegrassidc1]

I just can't help myself but add that Sherlock offers John's chair on purpose, knowing Moriarty would take his chair instead. No one sits in John's chair, but john.

[@ilimugur]

Once you're done with the series, perhaps, if you'd like, you may want to give Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock movies a try. A bit of a different take, but I think you may find it fascinating and interesting. This series and those movies, while having similarities, have a different tone, and you might enjoy the variety.

[@janetwilson9208]

All three episodes are classic Sherlock Holmes stories from the books.

[@TheGrumpyHobo]

Now imagine waiting for two years for the next season to come out. All the fans went completely insane crafting theories for how he survived. He definitely jumped off the roof. And the body on the ground didn't have a pulse. So how! We were obsessed.

[@MichaelBond]

It was a rough wait.

[@AlessaParker]

I remember there was this loooong mathematical post on tumblr with estimated calculations inculding the speed of his fall, the height of the building, and other things to come up with different probabilities of his survival 😂

[@SplitSniper7]

100% this! I've seen so many of those theories and I love the beginning of the next season with what they did with them. One of the theories I saw regarding the pulse is if you put a tennis ball in your armpit it cuts off circulation in the entire arm and thus no pulse. No idea if that were the case but that's how I thought he survived

[@ComicCrossing]

Really didnt like how they never actually told the fans what happened and basically made fun of the fans for theorizing. Sorta killed the fandom.

[@Zaza71737]

​@@ComicCrossingI agree. Completely goes against the spirit of the character.

[@CatLady-9327]

I loved the transition from calling him "Watson" to calling him "John".

[@lene_m.r7778]

I read somewhere once that there were scenes where John Watson was supposed to have dialogue, but Martin Freeman just said “oh, I’ll just do that with a look” And it works! Martin Freeman is just so good in this role!!

[@krashd]

Ricky Gervais once said Martin can exclaim an entire sentence with just a look and that's why in The Office there are so many scenes with Martin just glancing at someone and making faces, I imagine at some point he realised he has a very expressive face. They even take advantage of his many scowls in the Marvel movies.

[@Tomani3905]

Peter Jackson alluded to Martin Freeman's talent in "The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies". At the end when the fighting is over, there is a scene where Gandalf sits next to Bilbo to smoke his pipe and Bilbo essentially says "I'm done adventuring. I want to go home now". According to Jackson, they filmed the scene over two dozen times with Freeman making nearly two dozen variations of that line...then Freeman requested that they do the scene without a single word spoken between him and Sir Ian McKellan. Guess which take ended up in the final film?

[@TorchwoodPandP]

Martin did mime lessons as a young actor. He’s unimaginably good! He also had to say no to The Hobbit because of Sherlock. Peter Jackson watched Sherlock, and changed his filming schedule - so Martin could film both.

Scandal in Belgravia is easily my favourite episode of the series. The back and forth between Holmes and Adler is perfection.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I have mixed feelings. If you've read the original short stories. The only character that beats Sherlock was Irene Adler. But in the show they emasculate her and make her look dumb losing to him. In addition they hint or reveal she is a lesbian but they can't have her resist his charm and she switches teams just for him. Don't like the writing, respect the source material or if you want to be modern how about allow an attractive lesbian be who she is without needing to be changed.

[@revolutionairre]

​@@petercofrancesco9812Your last sentence betrays whatever principle the rest of your comment seemed to convey. You don't like that she's, in your view, portrayed as less competent or formidable in the show as compared to the source material, but you're fine with them insinuating that she's a lesbian-also against the source material. Then, you take umbrage with the fact that they didn't treat her non-canonical sexuality in a way that suits your non-canonical preference. Mixed feelings indeed.

[@SchulzEricT]

@@revolutionairre Implying she's a lesbian makes her *different*, not *weaker*. Having her LOSE to Sherlock when she's the only character that canonically wins makes her *weaker*. You see the difference? You see why one change isn't necessarily for the worse, while the other one is objectively bad? I like how she confounds him by being naked, I like how it's not explicitly stated why - you can think it's because she's a beautiful woman, or because it's simply less clues for Sherlock, or because it's simply unusual, or some combination thereof.

[@revolutionairre]

@@SchulzEricT You're responding to claims I didn't make. I didn't say that implying she's a lesbian is what makes her weaker. I didn't even assert that she was weaker. I responded to someone saying that they disliked the departure from canon while simultaneously criticizing the writing for not departing from canon in a way that they would enjoy.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

@@petercofrancesco9812 the show i thought they were implying sex was a power play game for her and the sex of the opponent was not important to the game. more pansexual than lesbian so i didn't have an issue with her interest in him from the sexuality standpoint. agreed she's nothing like in the book either way though.

[@Overlord0011]

My one issue with this show was that when Irene asked "Do you expect me to beg?" and Sherlock says "Yes", he didn't add "Twice." Such a missed opportunity.

Man can Martin Freeman sell it. Funny note; in the book version of this the author did intend to kill off Sherlock Holmes as he'd got sick of writing him but he got so much hatemail that he brought him back.

[@eddhardy1054]

Conan Doyle didn't bring Sherlock back because of hatemail. It was more to do with financial considerations. He finally accepted requests to write more Holmes stories because the income gave him the freedom to concentrate on his real interests...historical and science fiction.

[@lafatte24]

Man when John pulls rank. Martin Freeman got rizz. Rizzzzzzzzzzz

[@MorliHolect]

Anyway the way he wrote the death made very easy to bring him back because there was no body found.

[@noobofalltrades9766]

something similar to Dragon Ball and Super Saiyan Goku happened in the 90s. Toriyama apparently wanted to end it with the Frieza saga, but since it was a hit and fans started stalking him and the company who published it wanted more he was basically forced to introduce Super Saiyan Level 2 and all the way to now. I guess somewhere along the way he just accepted his fate and his tie to the world of DBZ.

The House/Holmes thing goes even deeper. At one point Arthur Conan Doyle was a medical doctor. His mentor Joseph Bell had an extraordinary ability to tell things about his patient's lives and health by noticing little details. An ability that very much impressed Sir Arthur and was incorperated into the character of Sherlock Holmes. With House, the inspiration has come full circle.

[@kwanarchive]

That would explain why Conan Doyle wrote such a logical/evidence-based character, while he himself believed in fairies.

[@mattc3581]

There must be a load of other similarities as well, it was very deliberate. Apart from the names and personalities, you also have Holmes addiction to Opium being mirrored by House's addiction to Vicodin, which is an opioid drug.

[@jlerrickson]

The funny thing about you not believing his death is that every reader of the original stories knew exactly what was going to happen in that episode because of the title: we just didn't know how they were going to get there or how they were going to fake it. The internet exploded with theories and they had two years to stew in it. FYI there's a video short that they released prior to season 3 called "Many Happy Returns". I suggest watching it before the third season. Great reactions!

[@pohia]

this is easily my favorite season out of the entire show. each episode is bang on. fun fact: Arthur Conan Doyle (the author of the original books) did eventually get fed up with pumping out new sherlock stories. He felt it limited him as an author and so he tried to move on. The Final Problem was the last story he wrote, in which Sherlock and Moriarty jumped off a cliff to their deaths together… but by then the Sherlock fandom circa ~1890s was so strong that they quite literally did not accept that ending. They were hysterical and protested, wrote letters and cancelled their subscriptions and basically forced ACD to bring Sherlock back to life and keep writing stories. It was bonkers. Nowadays it’s so stereotypical to do the main character death fake-out, but in this case, the episode is truly just an iconic reference to a well loved character.

BBC One premiered a seven-minute Sherlock mini-episode over the 2013 Christmas period entitled "Many Happy Returns". The episode is available via BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button service, and BBC's KZbin channel,[80] and acts as a prequel to the third series. The synopsis for the episode reads "Sherlock has been gone for two years. But someone isn't quite convinced that he's dead."[81] The 'someone' turns out to be Anderson, the forensics technician from series one and two, who has lost his job due to his obsessive conviction that Sherlock still lives. He had a long-standing mistrust of Sherlock, yet is one of the few people who believes Sherlock is alive, and is seen throughout the episode trying to convince Lestrade. Anderson tracks him via various mysterious events, from Tibet to New Delhi to Germany, in which Sherlock seems to be involved and points out that the incidents are getting progressively closer to London.

One major change from canon is that in the story which was the basis for the "Reichenbach" episode, Sherlock didn't come back at the end. That was because Doyle really intended it to be the last Sherlock Holmes story; he was tired of writing homes stories so he deliberately killed him off. Popular outcry was so great that he brought him back in the next story, but at the time it was written ? Holmes was definitely dead.

Sherlock keeps stunning the watcher, that and your love of the characters makes it amazing.

[@seamusburke639]

Fun fact; Lara Pulver was actually naked in that scene. They told her that just filming skin-to-the-wind would get things done much quicker and she just went for it.

The end of this season was less of a cliff hanger and more of a roof jumper.

[@yitznewton]

Feels so good to be relieving this series with you. Random, have you seen Starship Troopers??

[@loochboy]

Can't wait too see you watch the next episode! Also, there are some great vids of the creators giving some insight into what they were planning/hoping for.

Moriarty with the diamond + gum, I think the idea is that the case is tempered glass, so very hard to break with a blunt object... but if you hit it with a sharp object you can break it. So he does it with style, sticking a pointy object (the diamond) to the glass and then hitting it with the fire extinguisher.

watching this first broadcast on the telly here in the UK there was an eternity between this episode & start of series 3 - it was a cultural phenomenon at the time, the sheer scale of interest and theorising what was going to happen when series 3 started!

Isn't Sherlock just ever so sweet where Mrs. Hudson is concerned?! The way he just casually tosses a guy out of a high window for daring to lay a finger on her. He may struggle with the words but his actions tell all. It always makes me teary when you realise how much he cares for her.

[@XueZackie08]

I'm sooo happy when you mentioned House!! I recently started watching the show and IT IS AMAZINGGG I AM ADDICTED! I can't believe someone would actually mention house anymore since the show ended quite long ago

[@SpiralDogs]

Regarding House, I remembering noticing his door number was 221b (before he moved in with Wilson) which is the same as Sherlock's. Just thought I'd mention that (hadn't seen anyone else mention it so far) because I found it fun 🙂

[@davidcarbee8720]

It had to be mentioned somewhere but don’t miss the RDJ movies. They’re not as Sherlocky but still a good watch. Holmes is one of my favorite characters so I’ll give any iteration a shot. Stay Golden.

[@shaurryabaheti]

You should watch the mini episode Many Many Happy Returns before watching season 3... it really ties in well with the story and is chronologically after s2 e3 and before s3 e1

[@CraftsWithCrafts]

Funny aside - Russell Tovey, the actor playing the character Henry, was ALSO in another show called "Being Human" where he played a werewolf...

[@dees3179]

And he was in Dr Who.

[@Jordashian93]

Once again star Benedict Cumberbatch is magnetic with the quirky, sly demeanor he brings to Sherlock Holmes.

[@anouchka_d]

Sherlock is an amazing series! ❤ Your reactions are so dynamic, I love it 😊

[@tylertalley7198]

Lol I was literally just looking for part 2 yesterday kinda figured it was about that time. Guess I was just a day early! Love this show and re-experiencing it again with Natalie is awesome

[@GerblerM]

The diamond was to focus the force of his strike to a single, incredibly hard point. It's meant to shatter the glass because it's very strong, not very weak

[@krashd]

Yep, though a genuine burglar would have placed the diamond very close to one of the corners rather than directly in the middle of the pane.

[@JohnNolanBruce]

I really like your accent. I may be using your videos as inspiration for finding my own voice during my transition. Love your channel so much. I can't wait for more Korra personally. I would suggest more anime once you finish Korra but if it's not your thing no worries. Your enjoyment is part of the beauty of this channel. Keep up the good work.

[@Metaljacket420]

36:45 the glass is impact resistant tempered glass like in car windows. You need to apply allot of force with something harder than the glass, hence amashing a fire extinguisher into the diamond gummed to the glass.

[@Isandlwana]

Speaking as a Brit and avid viewer of yours, your British accent is very good. Keep up the good work

[@kellysimrell3007]

Yes, yes, yes! Can't believe someone is finally reacting to this! Scandal in Belgravia is my absolute favorite episode of anything ever!

[@williamrosmer5629]

The name of the 3rd episode is the location where sherlock dies in the books. i love that this show made references to the books all the time

[@primmoore6232]

WARNING: Jim Moriarty is NOT the creepiest person Sherlock will have to deal with.

[@ElliotNesterman]

Arthur Conan Doyle had, after many successful stories and novels, thought it time to wrap up the Holmes saga. In the story "The Final Problem," intended to be the last, Holmes tracks Moriarty to Switzerland and while fighting on a cliff overhanging the Reichenbach Falls they slipped on the wet rocks and tumbled to their deaths. The outcry from the public was so great that Conan Doyle was persuaded to write more Holmes stories. He resurrected Holmes in "The Adventure of the Empty House."
