What else is there to say that hasn't already been said?
I just can't wait to see the revelation of the ending, the truck with the bin bags clearly has something to do with it and John being knocked over wasn't by coincidence but by design.
The entire scene was thought out by Sherlock and with the aid of Molly, faked his own death.
Wasn't a coincidence that he chose a building close to the hospital and that he told Watson where to stand.
My best guess is that Sherlock fell into the bin bag truck, and a per-prepared look a like corpse was rolled out onto the street at the same time.
Took a few re-winds but i think i got the jist of it.
Best British series i've ever seen, only Breaking Bad comes close and that isn't even British ;)moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When John first sees Sherlock's body, there is a large truck with red and yellow markings blocking part of his view. The truck vanishes completely when John is hit by the biker and Sherlock can now be seen surrounded by several people. In the overhead shot of Sherlock, the truck can be seen driving off and people are only just now beginning to rush to Sherlock.
- The "Sherlock's a Fake!" article that Kitty shows John consists of the same couple of paragraphs repeated three times across the four columns.
- The article entitled "Jewel Thief on Trial at Bailey" repeats one of the sections twice: "Irish born Moriarty...trial of the century" is followed again by "Irish born Moriarty..."

John: And please, just keep it simple and brief.
Sherlock: Confidence, star witness, come across as intelligent.

John: Are you listening to me?!?

Prosecuting Barrister: How would you describe this man, his character?
Sherlock: First mistake. James Moriarty isn't a man at all. He's a spider. Spider at the center of a web. Criminal web with a thousand threads and he knows precisely how each and every single one of them dances.

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Moriarty: Sherlock, your big brother and all the king's horses couldn't make me do a thing I didn't want to. Referencing the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" where "All the king's horses and all the king's men / Couldn't put Humpty together again." They represent the height of impossibility.
