Steven Moffat: nobody’s spotted crucial Sherlock clue

Moffat admitted he had been following the fevered speculation about how Sherlock, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, could appear alive and well in the last scene of the episode, despite having apparently fallen to his death and, indeed, been buried. But according to Moffat, all the fans’ talk of switched corpses and mystery cyclists has been lacking a crucial detail. 

“I’ve been online and looked at all the theories,” Moffat told us, “and there’s one clue that everyone’s missed. It’s something that Sherlock did that was very out of character, but which nobody has picked up on.”

I guess I need to re-watch the episode.

Moffat better not be trolling me….

I saw someone earlier mention the crying/sniffling as being a side effect of some drug that slows down your heart.  That totally takes the wind out of the “he’s crying because he loves John” theory… :/

If it turns out that Sherlock was crying not out of genuine emotion but due to some deus ex machina, I am straight up gonna flip some tables. That was such a beautiful moment, a moment of real character development, a moment that captured the intense relationship between two people. If it was all some kind of trick, I am gonna be super fucking pissed. *eyezooms Moffat*

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I would literally take ANY other moment or theory besides that one. Please, please let those tears have been real. If they were fake….well, if they were fake I just don’t even want to think about it. I don’t think Sherlock is beyond tears, honestly, and if he were to ever shed a few that would be a good moment to do so. So, in reality, his crying there was not totally OOC. Idk. Now I’m just all thinky and shit. :|

Edit: Was it him dropping his phone maybe? Going to Molly for help? I DON’T KNOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Ugh this is killing me.
