I haven't posted in ages! Not that it matters really, I don't think I really have any regular readers. But I just noticed something today so I figured I'd see if anyone read it.

Did Sherlock kill Moriarty?

(ok, ok so it's not a practical theory but just hear me out)

So I was watching the Great Game last night and I suddenly realised something that I hadn't noticed before and it's this little bit of dialogue:

Sherlock: What if I was to shoot you now?
Moriarty: Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face.

It's a bit hard to explain so I made this video just for you! ;D

So that's one reason why I think Sherlock might have killed Moriarty.

Another is the fact that when John arrives at St Bart's, Moriarty is dead and lying of the floor ( ok, so technically it was a roof but just go along with it) and because of this, John can't see him. If Moriarty was still alive, John would have seen him and realised that Sherlock's suicide wasn't genuine and that something was wrong.

So maybe Sherlock somehow planned Moriarty's death? I know it sounds stupid, but just think about it. Sherlock spent the whole night in the lab so maybe he made a drug (possibly remade the HOUND drug with a few adaptations), asked Molly to get him access to the roof (and yes, that's what I think he needed her for), and administered the drug to Moriarty when he grabbed him on the roof. Because maybe it was just me, but Moriarty seemed weird when he was saying 'You're me. Thank you. Bless you.' I don't know he just seemed like he could be drugged and maybe that influenced him to kill himself? Or maybe I'm just thinking way to deep into the episode....

But one of the main things that made me think about this was reading the original story of The Final Problem. Because in the book, Sherlock does actually kill Moriarty by throwing him off the waterfall.

So anyway, that's just my weird, messed up little theory! Even if you don't think it's real, I still hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe you even got a new theory from it! Ok, umm...bye! :D
