I’ve got one theory about Sherlock’s trick.John took Sherlock’s pulse and thought he was dead. How did Sherlock managed to fool John, a trained army doctor, on that?During the show, a clue was laid. The fourth substance from the kidnapper’s footprint was Rhododendron ponticum, and Grayanotoxin is a toxin extracted from Rhododendron ponticum and one of its symptom is slowed heartbeat. The film Sherlock Holmes (2009) also utilizes this chemical to fake Blackwood’s death.“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.”What did Sherlock do that is very out of his character? He cried, and well, sniffed.The symptoms of Grayanotoxin other than slowed heartbeat are watery eyes and runny nose.(look http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/p/plant_poisoning_grayanotoxin/symptoms.htm)I’m just reblogging all the theories because they all make sense! I’m gonna go insane waiting =P
Oh
My
God
Makes a lot of sense.
OOOOOH BABY
I have thought about that, actually. But you don’t even need the toxin - a certain type of monks knows how to do this, by slipping into a certain kind of trance. (But the toxin would of course be relevant since it’s mentioned in the episode.)
