How Moriarty “Faked” His Death (It IS Twins)

Okay. So as some of you may know, in the original Holmes books, Professor Moriarty has a younger brother named Colonel James Moriarty. He was a stationmaster.

In BBC Sherlock, Moriarty has a brother who was also a stationmaster, although his name and age were not mentioned.

In The Final Problem, Eurus plays clips that Moriarty recorded for her before he died. We know this because Eurus plays them for Sherlock, John, and Mycroft when trapped in Sherrinford. During the flashback from 5 years ago in the episode, Mycroft tells Moriarty that he is allowed 5 minutes of unsupervised conversation with Eurus, and though we don’t know what they talked about, we know somewhere in those 5 minutes Moriarty agreed to record them for her. We still don’t know how he got them to her, how he knew what to say, etc.

Of course the trio is taken aback from seeing Moriarty’s face on a screen. After all, Sherlock saw him blow his own brains out. John asks him, distraught:

To which Eurus responds:

But what she says directly after is something I hadn’t noticed up until the most recent time I watched this episode:

NOW. We know that Moriarty has a brother that was a stationmaster. No more assumptions here. This was ACTUAL CONTENT in the show. But we DONT KNOW his name, age, what he looks like, etc. And just because he was younger than Professor Moriarty in the canon doesn’t necessarily mean that Moftiss has to follow this rule in their adaptation. I’m saying this because the phrase “Its never twins” is brought up multiple times throughout the show.

Sherlock says it to John in The Six Thatchers when working on the case called “The Duplicate Man” after he thinks that’s what John’s come to the conclusion of, and again in The Abominable Bride. Watson says, “Holmes. Could it have been twins?” Holmes tells him it couldn’t, so Watson asks him why, provoking Holmes’ “Because it’s never twins.”

Popping up only once in the show might cause it to have no significance, but since it’s popped up more than once, especially regarding a case that was being related to Moriarty’s (Emelia Ricoletti’s case) could mean something. Once is a coincidence, but twice is a pattern. And what do we say about coincidences, especially ones that are written my Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss? Maybe the reason the writers keep bringing up the fact that Sherlock never even considers twins to be a possible solution to Moriarty’s case is because it actually is the solution. Which leads me to my next point.

Shortly after Eurus mentions Moriarty’s brother being a stationmaster, Sherlock, John, and Mycroft are taken to the next task in another room, and during the transition Eurus plays another of Moriarty’s clips:

How obvious can they be? Moriarty’s brother was a stationmaster, as said by Eurus herself, and here we have Jim Moriarty, (or his twin brother) saying “All aboard!” and making freaking train noises.

All I’m saying is, it had to be either Jim or his twin that was on that rooftop in Reichenbach; one of them shot himself, and the other is still out there. But the question is, which Moriarty is it?

The Business Killer

Okay, TJLCers, I can no longer remain a lurker. This shit is getting too damn real, and I have to share my thoughts on this new trailer. So, we know from setlock that Toby Jones's character is known as The Business Killer on what appears to be an Apprentice type television show. My first thoughts after seeing Sherlock, John, and Mycroft in that strange room together were "Mind Palace", but then upon further viewing, I reconsidered. I think Smith has placed the three in the room together so that they can act out a twisted version of his reality show just for him. Hear me out, now. I can't say exactly why he would do this other than speculating that the trio had some sort of plan to take Smith down, but it failed pretty spectacularly. Now, he has the opportunity to do whatever he likes with them, and he chooses to hurt them by making them hurt each other. If they want to get out alive, they have to play his game. Mycroft of course immediately protests because, honestly, the ridiculousness of it all! "Is this suppose to be a game?" In that shot of Smith delivering the line, "Tell them your darkest secret." he's speaking to them inside that room. More specifically, he's speaking to Sherlock. "Tell them your darkest secret, and I'll let them live." Sherlock is grabbing his head in that panicked way he does a la TGG/Reichenbach because he wants to find a way out of this that doesn't involve any of them actually giving in to this creep, but there isn't another way. They have to play, so he does. "I love you." Some other nagging thoughts: The gun seems to be being passed back and forth under the direction of a large, unknown man. Perhaps whomever is holding the gun has to answer Smith's question or do whatever he tells them. Some sick version of truth or dare, maybe? I'm not sure exactly how the gun would come into play, though. I'm sure it's pretty effed up, whatever it is. Also, I think Sherlock is staring into a two way mirror, knowing Smith is on the other side taunting him. Okay, that's enough of me for now. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Sorry I have no visuals to make this a bit clearer.

Being in love with John cannot be Sherlock’s darkest secret…Don’t tell me it is. Being in love is nothing dark..

So what is Sherlock Holmes’ darkest secret ?

I feel like the “I love you” is like assuring John that Sherlock is not the man he knows. he has some secrets.. But he still loves John..Nothing is changed there..

“I am not the Sherlock Holmes you know… But remember John.. I love you..”

I can’t stop thinking about this scene from ASiP

Okay, now I'm gonna sound even crazier, but I still think it could be the same episode. We've seen a lot of time pass in one episode before, and we've seen the heroes think they've won only to be proven wrong. I think it could be something like that. Or even that they don't think they've won, but Sherlock has been "cured" and they've rallied together to take down the villain only to be one step behind.

a list of people sherlock might love and why it’s his darkest secret that will ruin all his awesome platonic bro friendships

Well… The official bbc entertainment latinoamerica page liked my “johnlock” comment in the trailer

I spend so much time in the tjlc tag that I feel the need to make myself a tin foil hat
