I think, upon rewatching TRF a billion months later, my favorite thing about this is that in the montage, every single other person informed of something unpleasant (the security guard/the banker/the man at the prison) spills his coffee as the situation dissolves.  But Lestrade?  No sir.  Not only does he not lose his head because break-ins aren’t his area, but his coffee has a lid.  A fucking lid, motherfucker.  No unnecessary spillage for this HBIC.

Lestrade, motherfuckers.  Keeping it real, keeping it clean.

That is literally the best analysis anyone’s ever done about this scene

THE EYE CONTACT

Look at it.

Moriarty has to, HAS TO, slip out of character for just a second to send that sly look at Sherlock.

That ‘watch as I destroy your world’ look.

And Sherlock… Sherlock, for just a moment has that appreciation for Jim’s genius. He saw what Moriarty was doing and admired the flawlessness of it.

They are both so brilliant

this brilliant subtlety of both their looks! 👏🏻👌🏻 amazing!

will you bet none of this was in the scripts? cos i will.

John As An Unreliable Narrator in “Post TRF and the CLUEs”

I write it as “Post-TRF”, because I think it’s possible that in S3 and S4, we’re still on the roof, working through the thirteen possible scenarios.

This is fantastic @221bloodnun – thanks so much for writing this and pulling all the meta along! (and for the tags 😘)

You know, your theory of post TRF is entirely plausible – we had three repeats of ACD’s The Final Problem in Sherlock to date: TRF, the tarmac scene (as Holmes’ goodbye letter to Watson), and TFP. The wheel kept turning and the path has locked around everyone’s feet. The Reichenbach Falls scene in TAB being the exception, a happier ending if you will – my hope is that it’ll end up being a foreshadowing of what likely happened after TRF or some kind of combination with HLV…… TAB being a literal sign of “the four” in modern time to solve the final problem? Who knows, but I have a nagging feeling that the “miss you” dvd at the TFP was actually from Sherlock during his time away 🤞
