If you read any comics, Nabe, you'd know that covers rarely spoil things, and are often irrelevant to the story line.

Dark Horse why do you ask? I meant to ask that and I had a dream that I did so I forgot that I didn't actually ask. Also DH was really hm I guess the word would be "cute" in that dream. Also I was an earth bender. And air bender. I guess I was the avatar. Oh and there was also this priest that told me that there are some people who believe that Satan was supposed to be Jesus, but they were reversed in history.

It was pretty weird, to be honest. But sometimes it was pretty cool as well.

For instance, Tails had a bunch of stories on his own, where he'd get dragged into being the hero, which was a nice change from sonic defeating the bad guy of the month.

It's just weird for me to find out that you have a completely different continuity going on over there. Different characters, etc... and that it's still going.

you can build a theory based on things you see in the episode that explains the logistics perfectly

It's most because the comic was modeled after the TV show and vice verse, it's just the show got canned and the comic kept going, and still is issue #254 soon.

I loved that show. I might read the comics if it's still ongoing.

You have a point.

I guess so, but to me that didn't make for an enjoyable episode.

He had lots of small clever moments throughout, he just came to the wrong conclusion after assuming he had correct information early on about the premise. Do you watch the show for formulaic smartass-saves-the-day?

I don't know, man. I don't remember the episode that well, but I felt like Sherlock was constantly playing catch-up for the first half, then we he confronts Moriarty and the reporter, rather than going 'lol don't be ridiculous i'm the good guy and I can prove it', he comes up with some sort of grand scheme, and that isn't even explained by the end of the episode.

I don't even know if he managed to outwit Moriarty or what, to be honest. I guess overall I didn't find it very believable, it felt more like railroading to the cliffhanger ending.

My sister on her college admit app responded to a question re: most relaxed moment or situation in life where you feel most at peace with five paragraphs about her bed, sleeping, napping, and looking outside of her window before returning to sleep again.

[collapse="not sure what watching"]Sherlock gets all sorts of framed, culminating in an article claiming that Sherlock planned all the crimes he "solved", which Moriarty backs up with an in-depth persona he's been publicly distributing for many months (including appearing regularly as the principal narrator on a children's television show). The reason this works is because it's not very believable that anyone would go to such lengths to frame someone, and as such would seem to be telling the truth.

This is also drawing from the police officers who (much like viewers and you watching this show, I can only assume) can't actually believe that a single man could make all the connections he did and solve all those crimes, and drawing from the little girl / kidnapping victim who was trained into fearing (and screaming in terror at) Sherlock's face. No one but people closest to him would ever believe Sherlock was innocent at this point, once the **** hit the fan. End result, Sherlock could not prove by any stretch that his version of events was correct as you seem to want.

The eventual plan by Moriarty is to force Sherlock to kill himself (thus seemingly proving the truth of the article) by means of threatening to kill everyone he's close to if he doesn't. He additionally protects this plan by leaving Sherlock with no seemingly logical reason for having taken the actions he has in the first place; the "skeleton key" code that was supposed to exist capable of hacking into any system does not exist, and thus Sherlock has no provable motive for having taken the actions he has.

The code's existence is something Moriarty convinced Sherlock of by performing three massive crimes simultaneously, seemingly as an advertisement (since he is a consulting criminal) -- Moriarty filled in the "facts" right after Sherlock came to the previous conclusion, and it was something that Moriarty (to Sherlock's logic) had no reason to lie about. Moriarty also convinced top officials heading the government of this code's existence, including Sherlock's smarter brother, so despite the off-TV premise of such a thing existing seeming a little silly, the character certainly isn't at fault in context of the show canon for thinking it could exist.

The "grand scheme" as you say wasn't really: Sherlock was going to counter Moriarty by use of the code, changing any and all official records of Moriarty's alternate persona to ensure **** never hits the fan. Note as well here, Sherlock's belief in the code's existence is here redoubled by his personal motivation to right the situation. He needs this thing to exist to stand a chance at all. If it existed, this was a very simple plan for him: deduce the code, save himself.

The principal mistake made by Sherlock was labouring under the misconception that Moriarty's motive for this whole thing was sanely logical, concerning greed or power as Moriarty led him to believe. Instead, the elaborate scheme was driven purely by vengeance and by his complex about his existence. This is why Sherlock was playing catch-up -- his facts weren't straight. This was true right to the end, when Moriarty killed himself just to keep his humiliation plan going, which showed he was absolutely unhinged. Sherlock did deduce what Moriarty would want of him in the end, and prepared a means of surviving it, but he never anticipated that potential climax of the action. This in turn proves moreover that Sherlock wasn't being illogical: he was simply missing the illogical motivations of Moriarty.

(Which to be fair, is in turn mainly because Sherlock's a sociopath)[/collapse]

This actually reminds me of my favorite episode from the animated series. You know, the one where Robotnick does something bad and Sonic gets tricked until he gets not tricked and he rescues you know from you know and everything returns to normal minus several destroyed Robotnick labs.

Edit: I was actually being serious though. This does remind me of my favorite episode from the animated series.

[10/20/13 7:19:39 PM] Red_Ryu: do you read sonic comics or are you just liking mine and nabes posts for another reason?
[10/20/13 7:21:15 PM] Ranchete: I like you and Nabe and I like your posts.
[10/20/13 7:21:31 PM] Ranchete: I haven't read the Sonic comics though.
[10/20/13 7:21:45 PM] Ranchete: Just went through the Monkey Khan wikia.
[10/20/13 7:24:06 PM] Ranchete: You and Nabe discussing Sonic/Doctor Who is pretty cute though.
