Sherlock 3.01 theories
Sherlock theories - Since I watched the episode again last night with murron and in between had time to think about it a lot:
First things first: I adore her to bits. Please don't kill her.
With that out of the way:
I believe there's more to Mary then we see or think right now. First of all, the Sherlock scan - some words were perfectly ordinary, the other words were food for thought, particularly "guardian" and "liar". Pair this with her getting the skip-code immediately and the text message being sent to her, not to Sherlock, I believe that Mary has a past that's a lot more shady than that of a regular nurse. I'm thinking maybe she's intelligence, or ex-intelligence. Maybe she fell in love the regular way, but I have a feeling maybe she was set on him (and then fell in love, because it's clear that she loves him). After all, she is the best thing that could have happened to him, right? Does something like that just happen naturally? I want to believe it does, in real life, but this is the Sherlock universe, and nothing there happens without a reason.
I don't believe the text messages had anything to do with Sherlock. I believe they were directed at Mary from the get go, and John's abduction and the placing him in the bonfire was a message to Mary, not to Sherlock. Yes, okay, he was there to help, so whoever sent them was watching them and knew they were going to get John together, but if the sender had really wanted to get at Sherlock, he would have sent the texts to Sherlock, not to Mary. Interesting, too, that in the final scene, we hear Mary screaming John's name, and only toward the end does the frame of the video stop at Sherlock's face.
No, I have a feeling thatthis is someone from Mary's past, the whole thing had nothing to do with Sherlock whatsoever, and Sherlock's just in the crossfire. (Oh, he'll hate that.)
This was murron's theory, and I'm a little bit in love with it:
What if the Moriarty we thought to be Moriarty was nothing more than a strawpuppet. Maybe even an actor. And we have only just seen the real Moriarty toward the end of the episode, in these final moments?
Of course, that poses the question that, if the Jim Moriarty we saw really was an actor, how did the real Moriarty get him to kill himself, but I think that could be easily explained if the actor had a terminal illness.
Because, really, I still have doubts that Moriarty is really dead. And if the one we saw in series 1 and 2 really is Moriarty (and I personally would love that, because Andrew Scott was amazing), then I bet he either knew exactly where to shoot so he didn't cause permanent brain damage, or else, he faked his death as well (blood bag at the back of the head, maybe under a wig?).
So many theories! Got some of your own?
I can't wait for tonight!
