Sherlock Reichenbach Falls

[ravelqueen]

I have nothing really coherent to say aside from I LOVED IT!!! 

And I cried so much. I was sobbing the last 15 minutes and couldn't stop. It's amazing because in general I as most people knew what would happen. But the performances and the writing was just so top notch I cried again just talking it over with my friend.

I can't even talk about the "note" because my thoughts mainly consist of words of wonder interspersed with loud crying and sniveling and loud shouts of JOHN! and SHERLOCK! and all the love between them (be it platonically or not, they love each other so much and you felt it) so I will talk about other things

1)Moriarty:

Andrew Scotts performance was flawless. Like, I totally called the "Not Guilty" and that Sherlock would be framed, but his performance especially in his robberies and in the courtroom blew me away. I just remembered that he largely had no dialouge in those scenes but he managed to communicate so much with just looks, especially to Sherlock. I totally didn't see his suicide coming and his acting as the "actor" was so real, that you nearly couldn't tell, but not real enough that you couldn't also see Moriarty benath it. 

Also he managed to give one of the creepiest performance of a fake-children I have ever seen. Jesus

2)Molly:

Can I hug her? And give her all the chocolate? And then beg her to be my friend? Seriously Louise Brealey has blown me away in these last few episodes, but I loved what they did with her character here. Not just someone who can't get over her hopeless crush, but a loyal woman who met someone extraordinary, who she just loves and likes despite everything and who notices and wants to help and is just so lovely and understanding. While still being awkward and endearing.

3)Lestrade:

Not my division! that is all (thank you for given me at least a few laughing forever moments)

4) The rooftop confrontation

I loved it, but I think I will need to rewatch it like a million times, because so much of the subtle undertones went over my head. Like was Sherlock proposing of joining forces with Moriarty at the end, with that "in hell" line? Why did that suddenly not make him ordinary, if Moriarty could see through it? What the what what? SO MANY FEELINGS!

5)Graveyard (aka Martin Freeman you perfect human being)

What can I say about this scene that hasn't been said a hundred times? It is moving, perfectly acted and heartbreaking. It uses very few words to say so much abou the relationship these two man had. This beautiful symbiotic relationship whose loss will tear both of them apart. The writing and acting was just so wonderfully in character for this version of John Watson. The repressed emotion that still can not bear to be fully contained. The military rest. Everything

I don't think I can say anything new about the amazing work both actors did in this episode, but I can't let a review this wordy go, without at least mentioning that they should get all the awards, that they killed me and revived me, trampled my hearts to little pieces and making me enjoy it
So in conclusion, damn you Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss. I will love you forever for creating one of the best pieces of television I have ever seen where is the third series

I NEED ALL THE FLUFFY FIX-IT FANFICTION!!! NOW! WRITE IT!! I need to be happy again *cry*
