OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FUCKING KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN AND I AM SO FUCKING STOKED THAT I WAS RIGHT.

So when he said he needed Molly, and that was the end of it, and then when they wouldn't let John near the body, or even to take his pulse, I was like OMFG HE'S NOT DEAD HE'S NOT and then the last shot OMFG.

THE FIC. THE FIC WILL BE EPIC. FUCKING EPIC.

BRING IT ON.

This is one of my best fandom experiences EVER. FUCKING EVER, I TELL YOU.

I just finished watching it and shouted it at the computer. oh my god.

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I can't even right now. I am stunned beyond words by the direction this episode took...god, I was crying my eyes out during the rooftop scene.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I didn't cry at all! I kept expecting to, but I had basically figured out that he wasn't really going to die, so I was just sitting there watching to see how it would all play out. I think I will be more emotional on further viewings, especially when I'm able to watch John more.

Am about 1300 words into a post-Reichenbach fic at the moment. It's been a while since I felt so compelled to write something so quickly, hee!

THIS!!! OMG, I was skyping with eliand504 and another HP/Sherlockian on twitter whose LJ name I forget [FORGIVE ME SUSIE], and I was SO GLAD they were there for me!!! I don't think I could have handled it on my own!!!!

GGGGAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

And, TY for the link btw! It only took me 7 download attempts between everyone but I GOT IT!

I've read the original story, so I knew they were going to do something like this. I just didn't know what direction they'd take.

So of course I was crying and then about to punch my screen when he suddenly came into frame - WHICH I FUCKING KNEW THEY'D DO BUT I WAS READY TO PUNCH THE SCREEN ANYWAY.


... instead I went and shouted at Moffat's twitter feed.

John broke my heart ;_;

And I do believe there was screaming every now and again... The last time in the last five or so seconds ;)

[shadowfireflame.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. I am so happy right now. :D

[shanna-souzou.livejournal.com]

So, I nearly passed out because I stopped breathing for like the entire final act. I can't remember the last time I literally felt like I was on the edge of my seat. The entire episode was incredible from start to finish!

I hadn't read the original story but I know OF it and had been hearing all week "oh, it'll be fine." So the logical part of my brain KNEW it'd be okay. But that didn't stop me from bawling my eyes out for five minutes straight. I'd rewatch it right now if I didn't have work in the morning. I know I kept my eyes peeled for all the adorable moments. I think my favorite was right before the trial when John is getting ready in the mirror and Sherlock kinda looks over at him just so... *swoon*

Its kinda funny because I'd be saying all week, "you know, if they're going to kill Sherlock now then I think the fans deserve a SH/JW kiss." Then I was like "nevermind, I'll settle for hand-holding or a verbal confession" thinking it was just as unlikely. But YAY...HAND-HOLDING!

I'm already dying to see how they'll bring him back. Maybe I've been reading too much fic this week but the idea of Sherlock knowing his death is coming and wanting to protect his friends by driving them away, wanting to kill the grief by killing their memory of him...just wow. I loved the little scene with Molly at the microphone. "You look sad when you think he can't see you."

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got to see it! I need to watch it again, but I don't know when I'll have time. Wah!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I was relatively spoiler-free going in. I knew Sherlock was going to die, and the opening scene pretty much cemented that, obviously. I was pretty sure he wasn't *really* going to be dead, but I was fairly shocked that they let us see it at the end of the episode!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

There was lots of fist-pumping over here in those last few seconds!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know, right? RIGHT?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It really was an amazing episode. It felt different in so many ways, music, editing, everything.

I need to watch again to catch more stuff, but I was also OMG at handcuffs and HANDHOLDING. Even John was all, "Okay, this is pretty gay, Sherlock." Fantastic!

Yes, yes, yes to your last paragraph. I can't believe we have to wait YEARS to find out exactly what happened.

[elenauial.livejournal.com]

IT WAS SO GOOD. SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. AHHH. I LOVED IT. I LOVED IT I LOVED IT I LOVED IT.

I WAS CRYING AND LAUGHING AND "FUCK YEAH!"ING AND OMG.

*FLAILS LIKE THE FLAILEST OF THINGS*

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

Pretty damn amazing!

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

This is the most amazing TV series in .. ever. Really. Fantastic.
And you are right - the fic out of this will be epic.

[tealightwhimsy.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever thought an episode of anything was perfect but Reichenbach? Fucking perfect!

Because everyone talked about how much they cried, I expected to bawl but didn't so much. Ok, whenever Martin cried, I would get choked up but no real tears. Freeman absolutely needs to receive some sort of award for this episode.

Also, i totally didn't seethe rooftop Moriarty scene to happen. Iknew the original story but not...that.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I typically hate "framed and discredited" stories but this was Moriarty so I forgave it and I was so very VERY far from crying, because I knew it would all work out in the end; "A Scandal In Belgravia" proved that. I could even see how Sherlock faked the death and so I just sat there and squealed at how very cool it all was. OH JOHN.

[collectively.livejournal.com]

OMG I CAN'T EVEN

I knew he'd be coming back so I didn't cry...UNTIL John was talking to his grave, and then, BWAAAAH!

And then I started shouting things when Sherlock came into frame.

HOW DO I WAIT A YEAR FOR MORE OF THIS DAMN THE BBC!!

[winstonmom.livejournal.com]

I just watched with the husband and looooved it. I was spoiler free, but was able to see what was coming and omg loved a million times. I can't believe we now have to wait a whole year for the next season.
PS/ I HATE Moriarty

[elethoniel.livejournal.com]

Basically, YES. Having read the canon I knew Sherlock wouldn't survive, but GOD it was SO GOOD to have that small piece at the end. SO FUCKING GOOD. I'm not sure I could have handled another pool-esque cliff-hanger. But still, John. I figured his reaction would be the cause of my tears. What I didn't realise was JUST HOW MUCH it would hurt. JESUS.

Each time I re-watch it my reaction is THE SAME. That's how much I am emotionally invested in these characters and just how fucking good it is. I still start breathing faster and everything. UGH. AMAZING.

This is one of my best fandom experiences EVER. FUCKING EVER, I TELL YOU.
YES YES YES YES YES YES. I don't know how the Sherlock fandom does it, but it's just... I REALLY FUCKING LOVE IT. I love the fandom just as much (if not a little bit more!) as I love the show. It just makes it all so incredible. I would never have survived the 18 months between series without that ridiculous fandom. I fucking love it, haha XD
