Huge revelation about the Sherlock special

[neadods]

Am about to read all comments from last night but -- I just realized that the only story actually name-checked in the special had a twin theme!

Three Garridebs (ish), although it wasn't actually triplets.

I'm thinking that blood wasn't that hard to get in a world with blood pudding. Or Mollystache collected the effluvia of blowing out the lookalike corpse's head.

But in that case, Sherlock would have been able to smell it *before* the gun was fired. What I'm talking about is the shock of the gunshot and the immediate scent of fresh blood which wouldn't have been there before. (I'm also thinking more about the rooftop scene. Where would Moriarty have a) hidden a pot of blood that b) he could trigger at the right time? I mean, an exploding bladder on the back of his head? Really?)

Ah, we're talking Moriarty. I'm thinking he's pretty dead.

I thought that was one of the key messages of The Abominable Bride; it was impossible to bring off in the way Moriarty staged it (I loved the detail of just how bad the light was in the Victorian morgue etc).
