Speculation on Reichenbach

[karadinart]

since the obvious fear is Sherlock's literal death, and since we can infer that Moriarty is out to discredit Sherlock, taking in account Benedict's words 'may find it difficult to come back' I'm gonna guess that Sherlock's Fall is his inability to serve any longer as a consulting detective, which would certainly burn the heart out of him. In some ways, death would be kinder.

Interesting. I enjoy the way you think ;)

Innnnnteresting. This is the first speculation on what will actually happen (other than Sherlock actually dying) that I've heard, and I find it intriguing.

I have so many speculative questions, none of which are really possible to answer until the episode airs. Like: is the fall literal or figurative? Or maybe Moriarty wants to permanently disable Sherlock in some way but not kill him? Or maybe capture him and make him insane, pushing him over the edge in that way?

I can't help but wonder if Moriarty will get away, too. I definitely like him as a main antagonist who is mainly in the shadows, and I don't want anything bad to happen to either of them...I'm so curious as to which direction the writers will take it.

EEK! I've got to hurry up and get caught up so I can weigh in on what looks to be a very interesting conversation.
