Tastes like chicken...

The glorious Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half fame wrote a blogpost in 2010 which featured a drawing in her own inimitable style that has spawned a meme.

Meanwhile, earlier I was browsing Imgur when I came across this utter beauty of an image.



TIME FOR ME TO MAKE MY FIRST EFFORT AT A MEME!

Sherlock: The Reichenbach Fall

Earlier this week Steven Moffat took a turn for the irritating when he told the Radio Times that he'd read a lot of the theories about the apparent demise of Sherlock Holmes which have set the internet ablaze since 10:30pm Sunday 15th January.

I firmly believe(d?) that Molly had something to do with a body swap between Holmes and Moriarty. I've read this week about theories of stopping heartbeats with a squash ball and/or a rhododendron chemical.



But if these are the same theories which Mr Moffat is stating are incorrect and missing important details, then I think it's one of three things.

One: Moffat is antagonising us for shits and giggles. Naughty Steven, tut tut. 

Two: I haven't the fucking foggiest and will not be looking forward to the predicted TWO YEAR WAIT for series three.

Three: there's something wrong with the timeline. The episode opens with John Watson in a counselling session with a therapist. After the titles, a caption on screen says 'Three months earlier' (sorry if this wording isn't verbatim). Moriarty's trial occurs six weeks later.

If the trial lasts at least two days (the jurors return to a hotel room at least once where they're blackmailed), then Moriarty visits Sherlock at the earliest six weeks, two days after the three break-ins.

We are now five weeks, five days before Watson's counselling session.

The next time indicator on screen, bringing us up to Watson being delivered to Mycroft's club, reads 'two months later'.

That would mean we're a little shy of three weeks AFTER the counselling session.

So. I've either misread the times on screen or the timeline in the narrative is screwed.

What say you, Mssrs Moffat and Gatiss? Am I on completely the wrong track and even more off-course than those theories already hammered out on myriad message boards across the Sherlock-obsessing world?
