Last night on our PBS station the episode entitled The Reichenbach Fall from the Steven Moffat’s series Sherlock aired. And, as promised many months ago, I said I would give you my solution to the mystery presented.
This will be behind the cut and I am allowing for spoilers and speculation in the comments. So you have been warned.
A few thoughts on the very short season presented to us. They picked the most famous stories out of the Holmes’ cannon to play off of. The Irene Adler episode was, for the most part, pitch perfect both in story and acting. I had a few quibbles but over all it was quite fun and the ending had a lot of fans either happy or sad. The Hounds of the Baskerville did show how you could take an old story and make it fit into the world today with not much change except bringing modern tech into it.
Of the three I did like Reichenbach the best but then there was Moriarty in that one and they found a jewel in Andrew Scott to play Moriarty much differently than cannon lore but really very much in the vein of the original. And then there was the end which was brilliant and heart breaking all at the same time.
