Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here, so take off your shoes, leave your sanity at the door, and come right on in!
As a welcome gift, have some music by Pierre Boulez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqpNZPOkQ1M
And here is a sprocket wrench, half a cosmic brownie, (I still wouldn't eat at the cafeteria if I were you,) seven green wires and a red one, and a pair of stainless-steel sporks.
Welcome aboard! I've just started watching Star Trek TOS (I'm on episode 10 of season one, so no spoilers!) and of course everyone's always happy to have another Sherlockian. I've been spending my morning looking at the fan theories on how he survived... so how do you think he survived?
I haven't done much theorizing myself, but I do have a way that Moriarty may have survived...
I'm not certain how one could fake eating a gun, but you have to admit, the camera angles were suspicious.
Everybody seems to think that the bouncy ball had something to do with preventing John from getting the pulse on a (presumably live and genuine) Sherlock-on-the-sidewalk, but I'm somewhat suspicious: it seems too obvious for it to be anything other than a red herring. Still, maybe it had other uses we weren't aware of...
My idea is that he fired a blank bullet into his mouth and had a small tube with blood attach to the back of his head through his hair. There would have been a seal that ruptured when his head hit the ground, and the pressure of his back on a sack of blood in his coat would keep it flowing. Bear in mind that we don't see his body get taken away.
I just rewatched the scene, and he's still shooting something directly into the roof of his mouth at approximately shot-out-of-a-pistol meters per second. Just because it's not a real round doesn't mean it wouldn't be blasted directly into his skull.
Is it possible he had a titanium plate on the roof of his mouth?
The titanium plate would actually help redirect some of the blast down his gullet.
Fantastic mental image, by the way. *Pops Bleeprin tablets into mouth*
I also think I saw a tweet from one of the writers saying something along the lines of "Yes, Moriarty shot himself point-blank in the head. No, we can't show that much gore on TV."
How do you like it so far?

Hi, newbie! Welcome to the board! Hope you stick around a while.
You said you like cooking? How about some bleepolate! Because you will see badfic.....a lot of badfic....
Hello there! It seems that the one Trek fandom that I like most is the one fandom that you don't follow! No matter, Picard is a good captain as well! Other than Trek, it seems that we don't share any fandoms. Have you ever seen Stargate: Atlantis?
Either way, your newbie gift!
*rummages through bag of holding*
Here, have a Glite-painted replica of the Enterprise-D!
Because if you mean TOS...I will be very happy, and probably start babbling at you.
~DF
Thanks for the Replica! Its awesome!
I don't follow Atlantis, but I did watch a couple seasons of SG-1. If you like the Sci-Fi channel, Warehouse 13?
Love SG-1 and Atlantis sonofheaven176!
Warehouse 13 is a great show, I'm sad I haven't been able to follow it lately, but I've loved what I've been able to see of it!
Greetings, new friend! For your present, a free ride through the Quantum Leap Accelerator!
(Finally, another QL fan!)
I mean, I don't think Sam ever returned home, and then he somehow got turned into a Starfleet Captain! Not that that wouldn't be cool...
Maybe I could tinker with it before I go through. I am a Time Engineer so I might be able to get it working
Time doesn't move quite right around here, anyway.
That will be extremely useful for you if you stick around.
Also, hi! Have a cookie!
My brother would say that I can't, but my friends would say that most of what I make it good but you should stay away from the home made poutine. It didn't turn out too well.
Oooh, what kind of cookie?
Rainbow Sparkle Sueblood Supreme.
I kid.
It's chocolate chip. I do have peanut butter if you'd prefer, and there are probably some sugar cookies floating around...
*looks up "poutine" on Wikipedia*
So, you're Quebecois?
I am Canadian, but not Quebecois.
I live in Ontario
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Tastes like improbability!
Hmmm. Since you like DW (Eleventh Doctor's the best, right? Right? Right? Right!), that makes you automatically a wonderful person. (River Song's awesome, isn't she? Right? Right? Riiiiight?)We're happy to have you a-Board! Here, have a shiny thing.
(That's DW, Elementary, and Sherlock btw)
Your username is the most awesome thing ever. Hello, welcome, have some lemming repellent! You'll need it.
Is the moon cannon an actual cannon (with gunpowder and such) or is it a storyline, as in "We have to be true to the Moon Cannon"?
Here it is. (There are mild swears, in case you're the sort of person who likes to be told about that beforehand.)
Wait, I suppose it's a little late for you to watch the video, because there's no Internet...
ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!
I thought they regulated the antimatter/matter reaction.
Treknobabble is the one way I don't seem like an obsessive Trek fan. Otherwise, if you're ever looking for someone to talk Trek with, feel free to contact me. I will babble on and on. Especially about TNG and Voyager. TNG's my favorite, what's yours?
Newbie gift, newbie gift…hm…once you get back to me on your favorite series, I'll get you something appropriate.
Welcome!
I hope you'll hang around much longer than I usually do, and if you don't, then at least come back before people forget you, unlike what I do.
As a gift, I'll give you a garlic garland, so you can use it for cooking or chasing away rats. Or pretty much anything with stronger sense of smell, if need arises.
Feel free to ask questions. You'll need to.

Hi! I'm quite the newbie too, but everyone's so nice here, so sometimes things like that are quite forgotten. It doesn't seem like we share any fandoms. At all.
Now, for a gift... Here, have this bag of shadows so you can lurk unseen when you're looking for things!
-Aila
Maybe it's a good thing that I'm in a different country right now...
(I never welcomed you, did I? I'm sorry. I keep meaning to make a new post where I welcome all the newbies I didn't welcome and hand out gifts and stuff, but it hasn't happened yet. In light of that, I'm sorry, and have some Swiss Bleepolate! Enjoy high-grade chocolate while the horrific details of whatever badfic you've just read are erased from your memory!)
~DawnFire
I should be more reluctant to give out such explosive gifts. But then, who says sanity is necessary here?
(It's alright. Hello now, then! And thank you, thank you! Swiss Bleepolate sounds marvelous!)
-Aila
You did indeed. And I think it should have at least a little section, or mention, or something like that. I was just looking at the wiki page, and you could add it after NMn'NMs, perhaps.
And yes, I do the the EFC. They and Redwall were what originally got me into fantasy, so I have quite the fondness for both series.
-Aila
Enjoy the discussions, provide your opinions, and read interesting stuffs that PPC has to offer.
I offer you a virtual Kepang horse for you to dance with. Don't dance too energetically though, you may get possessed by spirits, if you don't sprain your ankles first.
