For those who were curious: sashax01 has made significant progress with translating the shorthand notes of the juror from Reichenbach.
Thanks, sashax01!

chiaroscuro.: how sherlock survived the fall →

from BBC News:
Who, What, Why: How do cats survive falls from great heights?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17492802
Cats’ remarkable ability to survive falls from great heights is a simple and predictable matter of physics, evolutionary biology, and physiology, veterinarians…
Hey, wouldja look at that—it’s already April 1st in some places. And it seems...

So it turns out it takes way less time to write up a completely illogical theory that requires no supporting evidence.
Why did no one tell me this before?
(Also, I apologize in advance if I give anyone a headache on Sunday.)

I am so a fan of yours, and thank you for all the Sherlock-work you do. It keeps the flame alive for me in the long wait till series 3. My question is nothing to do with how SH faked his death/swapped bodies etc; you’ve ampy and brilliantly dealt with that. At Kitty’s flat SH and JW arrived still handcuffed, and then we see SH apparently unlock the handcuffs with a...

^ A purely speculative list, but based on canon.
Which villains from the original stories would you like to see appear in Series 3? (Besides a magically resurrected Jim Moriarty.)

cici118-deactivated20120913 asked: You will never guess what! So I was looking casually at your master list and I clicked on one of the videos. I kept looking at some of their other Sherlock videos, until I came to the one where Sherlock and John are in Kitty's house/flat? I listened to it REALLY closely and when Richard walks in he says: "Joanna they didn't have any ground coffee so I just got normal..." etc....

headingtowardstheend asked: I think the anon was talking about jambulances, obviously. But yes, the clue does match up nicely with that other thing and the theory and that thing where they do that thing.

yngv1 asked: Haha, for once I've figured out something about the Reichenbach fall! The BMX bandit is the drug addict in the Great Game, the one that dumps that missile defense plans guy's body on the train. :D He has a name too but I've forgotten it (not BMX bandit though, I'm so sorry). I first thought it was Anderson, but the junkie already has a bike and exactly similar clothing, so I...

notdead-letshavedinner asked: Continuing on to add to your theory against the "Sherlock and Ms. Hudson behind the tombstone" nonsense. Don't you think with the height difference of Sherlock and Ms. Hudson, he would tower over her, and from the angle, be seen over the tombstone. Also, what would it matter if he grabbed her? We still know he's alive anyway, it wouldn't have that much significance at all,...

jennink asked: Mm, have you heard of savant syndrome? (popularized by the film Rain Main) I'd suggest that Sherlock probably has it. (in combination with something in the autistic spectrum and what seems to be a very intelligent family) I'd also suggest that Moriarty also is on the autistic spectrum...

cici118-deactivated20120913 asked: You are amazing and give such good detail! I have read all your theories, but I was just wondering why you haven't shown this BIGGER. Indeed, I did notice most of the points you made but what is your ACTUAL theory. Are you 100% sure? Oh, and also, do you know any good books that I can read to tell me a good view of it? Thanks SO MUCH! YOU ARE NOW MY OFFICIAL NUMBER 1 LEGEND!

Hello, lovelies!
Yesterday I posted an ask from postal about the way they filmed the roof scene in Rechenbach. Today it was pointed out to me that lemuroptions’s Reichenbach A to Z post also explained the same thing that postal’s ask had. I had obviously added lemuroption’s post to the A to Z master list before I saw postal’s ask, but there I was thanking postal for...

carboncore asked: Did you notice that in the Reichenbach footage Sherlock actually stood not on the building marked as 21, but on the elevated compound on its roof? When Sherlock throws out his phone before the jump he is looking directly onto specific building. If you find that building in Street View on Google Maps you can look at it and then project where Sherlock actually stood. Though I suppose it's a...

Regarding the shorthand. I haven’t translated it, but to me it appears as Munson Shorthand. Which could prove useful for people trying to translate it.

It’s in Lindsley shorthand if I recall correctly. I will try to translate it as best as I can.

kaijyuu asked: Aside from the very reasonable explanation of "the writers wanted him to" (which I guess is all you need, but I like in-universe explanations), my thought at the time was that perhaps John was going to rendezvous with the police - they'd probably still be on site if there was a shooting, and he/they'd be able to help track down who'd done it as well as find out which...

Please remember to tag your posts #REICHENBACH A TO Z before you submit them to the master list. If I get a submission that isn’t tagged, I’m not going to add it because I...

April 1st. #Reichencrack. Be there.
I’ve tallied your votes for what tag we should use when posting Sherlock crack theories on April Fools’ Day.
The winner is…
#Reichencrack
I think joint credit for the tag suggestion goes to blooobell, who suggested “Reichencrack theories,” and rachbrew, who shortened it to “reichencrack.” Thanks to both of you!
And well done to everyone, really, because...

Y’know I find it kinda hard to believe that Kate Middleton was just a normal, middle-class girl. If she married a prince she had to have money or connections or something… Sorry, nothing to do with Reichenbach.

piecestopuzzle asked: Hello! I was the one who asked you earlier, could Mycroft have known that Richard Brook was Moriarty, but I sent it as fan mail instead! I should have used the ask lol. Before Mycroft showed to John the profiles of the assassins, they had this conversation: John: (picks up the Sun) You read this stuff. Mycroft: Caught my eye suddenly, there being a big expose. John: I'd like to have known...
