Sherlock FEVER!

So from a regular scan of my facebook newsfeed it's clear to see that I am not the only one to be diagnosed with Sherlock FEVER! And I'm talking about the double dose - BBC and Hollywood versions! Both wonderful in their own special ways. I like the film version because of the whole style of production - makes London seem so exciting and mysterious! But can't beat the Cumberbatch-Freeman duo also.

So who's got a good theory about how (BBC) Sherlock cheats death? I've been doing some research and the main lines of thought seem to be...

1) Lots of theories involving S jumping into a rubbish (or similar squishy material) truck

2) Significance of W's distraction re: bike - and possible use of the misleading drug used in the Hounds of the Baskerville episode. May not have seen what he thought he saw - or mistook body for Sherlock when it wasn't..

3) Body may have been Moriaty OR dummy used to simulate hanging at beginning of episode

4) Involvement of Molly (fake postmortem/place a fake corpse)

5) Was Watson looking at Sherlock - he could have been looking at a different building???

So many questions! Any other thoughts?
