Q: “What was your first line in the actual script in series 4?”

After some confusion about how to answer this (brilliant) question, Amanda and Ben still tried to answer genuinely, which resulted in Amanda giving us this: 

And Mark giving Ben the death stare (x):

After Rachel’s explanation from Sherlocked US (x, thanks a lot to @fffinnagain​) about how they actually ended up re-arranging a lot of scenes in the final cut, this is at least one mystery solved (x).

[devoursjohnlock]

Thank you for bringing this back! See Ben starting to talk about the changes:

“I don’t know now also, ‘coz we… we… you know.” *Mark glare* “We changed it a bit.” [x, 13:48]

i can’t get over how Extra™ the production of Sense8 is

they honestly seem to do everything in the most unnecessary over-complicated and expensive way possible, can’t say the end result isn’t worth it (best show i’ve ever watched) but like:

- they film everything 99% of the time on location, season 2 took 8 months of traveling around the world to get done, the main cast didn’t go home for 4 months straight at some point, they also hire local actors and crews

- talking about traveling, that scene where capheus visits riley when she’s on a plane to iceland? yup, you guessed it, they casually filmed that while they are actually on the plane to iceland

- they also don’t separate, everyone goes together from place to place even if some actors only have a few lines in one location # the sense8 travelling circus

- honestly just the way ‘visiting’ works is so extra, they have to shoot the exact same scene up to 5 times all over the world and then edit it to together in a coherent way, imagine how hard it’s for an actor to repeat a scene in the exact same way they did it 3 months ago in a completely different environment and mood, kudos to them

- this entire post about how the english dialogue for the not english speaking characters is structured will blow your mind

- riley’s opening scene when she’s playing at a club? that is an actual club with normal people not actors, they didn’t know tuppence wasn’t an actual dj, they had her go and pretend to dj in between two actual djs

- that applies for everything else really, if something can be done for reals they do it for reals, you know the scene at the end of season 2 were they all get electrocuted (aka the most stressful thing to watch ever), well, they got themselves electrocuted for reals, no, i’m not shitting you, they had to hire experts to make sure they didn’t accidentally kill themselves or sth, i love this cast but i’m also really concerned

- the wrestling match lito, hernando and dani attend was a real match with a real crowd

- also both pride scene were filmed at actual pride, the brazil pride was improvised except for lito’s speech which lana wrote on their way there, because they found out very last minute that they could actually fit it in the schedule

- the way the cast talk about the show sounds like they’re talking about their newborn baby sometimes like: ‘wolfgang is the biggest gift i’ve ever received in my career’, doona owns more sense8 merch than any fan in the world, freema and jamie crying at the table read when they got to amanita and nomi’s engagement scene as if they were actually getting married, brian’s letter after the cancelation and all their tweets about it, honestly this entire video of them basically talking about how much they love each other is the most extra and adorable thing ever

- the ‘sharing’ scenes are mostly done through stunts and not post-production, the actors actually jump in and out of frame changing places, instead of you know, just editing the scene together afterwards

- they got fined filming the ‘sex-nic’ part of the orgy for public nudity, just sense8 things

- bollywood dance scene? all shot in one take, for no reason other than make it more complicated lol

- the pretty underwater scenes from the christmas special? they went to malta EXCLUSIVELY to shoot those, what?, 3 minutes?, i’d say that was the most expensive montage ever but the fine for public nudity was $10k so idk

- talking about orgies, kind of unrelated but i’m mentioning it anyway bc i can’t believe them, apparently the cast casually goes through life organizing netflix talent orgies? life imitates art?

- they also were in scotland for 9 days for some reason, even though only like 10 minutes of the actual show happen in scotland (i’m guessing this is what happens when u double their budget for s2 lmao) 

- max riemelt dubs wolfie in german, also the dude that dubbed V from V for Vendetta dubs The Guy in french, if u gotta be extra don’t forget the details i guess

i’m probs missing a million things so feel free to add more lol

tl,dr: Sense8 is Extra™ and I Love It™

if you haven’t seen Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, you are missing out

[dancinbutterfly]

Thank you for this. I clearly was missing out on a lot in my life. Knowing that this is the guy who Cinderella ends up with makes me feel SO much better about the first one. Of course this is the kind of asshole who would track down a girl based on 1 night of dancing and a lost shoe. Why didn’t we think of this? Well played, Mickey, well played.

It’s never twins (OR IS IT?)

There’s a recurring joke in Sherlock about it “never being twins”, one of the many unfired Chekhov’s guns. Now the smart and lovely @patiencegrenade has pointed me towards the possible answer. Stay with me, please!

A Canadian show called Murdoch Mysteries, about an 1890s detective solving crimes (sounds familiar, anyone?), had three episodes which featured Arthur Conan Doyle as a character. Whenever he visited, he and the main character detective Murdoch had some serious Sherlock-Watson vibes.

In the episode Belly Speaker, which aired in 2008 (so two years before ASIP), Doyle makes his second appearance.

The episode starts when an alcoholic dad (cue John Watson-reference) gets murdered. Murdoch and Doyle enter the crime scene and open the closet, where the victim’s son Harcourt and his puppet are found hiding. The man is a ventriloquist and his puppet’s name is… Mycroft. I wish I was making this up. Harcourt quickly confesses, but Murdoch doesn’t believe him: he gets the cause of death wrong, for example.

Now – spoilers: Harcourt turns out to be his own secret twin brother (also named Mycroft), who took revenge on his dad for rejecting him at birth. He did this by murdering Harcourt at age ten, burying his brother in/underneath the closet, and then posing as his own twin for years and years. When he finally killed his dad, he tried to act as if he was his own twin brother Harcourt covering up for his twin Mycroft (all while really being Mycroft), hoping the detective would think Mycroft had fled the country and would let ‘Harcourt’ off the hook, thus getting away with murder. Like a triple bluff.

Does this sound ridiculous? The very premise that a child could plan something like this, is mocked by Sherlock in TAB, after John suggests Emilia Ricoletti had a secret twin.

One of the reasons Murdoch DOESN’T think “Harcourt” did it, is because Harcourt is lefthanded and the killer was righthanded. In other words, Mycroft went as far as pretending to be differently-handed to cover up for a murder. As recent meta by @221bloodnun has pointed out (link), this is something that was seen done by Sherlock and John in S4.

Also, there is the eye thing. Murdoch uncovers that Harcourt is Mycroft because of his eyes: the right one is brown, the left one is blue. This was the other way around in a childhood picture. The different eye color thing is seen in Sherlock when Eurus removes her contact lenses. Also, in an old version of the Great Game script, Moriarty does the same contact-lenses-trick.

Murdoch Mysteries thereby connects Moriarty, Eurus AND Mycroft.

What about the puppet? Wouldn’t the puppet have been referenced somehow in Sherlock and especially season 4, if there was really some significance? Glad you asked. In Eurus’s bedroom, we can see a ventriloquist puppet hanging to the left of her room – by that house; sorry for the bad quality pic. Now, dolls are normal for a child to play with. Belly speaking puppets? Not so much.

The whole episode rests upon Mycroft ACTUALLY getting away with the murder, disappearing at the end of the episode. So, we could deduce that season 4 is basically about the Holmes brothers getting away with murder. (hint: Mary’s murder)

Also, his brother was IN THE CLOSET the whole time. Just saying.

[mercilessfuckinggodeanwincheste]

sorry for the bad quality but this is from the Emmy’s script found here

fyi I’ve watched all of season 1 and this was the only confusing episode 

@coffeeteaitsallfine and I were talking about Murdoch Mysteries s1e9 Belly Speaker and she pointed things out to me that I did not connect to Sherlock at first ( Also I know you were talking about lover’s quarrel and when you mentioned ACD saying “ someone is going to meet his maker” and then the camera pans to “ Harcourt” and “ Mycroft”. ) ( Maybe you could help me clear that up because I am a bit confused about that because I am having a hard time finding the scene. ) 

So Fake Harcourt aka real Mycroft is right handed yet he employees his left hand the most so that Murdoch wouldn’t think he’s the murderer because he used  his right hand to kill his dad and Hannah pointed out to me that that connects to Sherlock s1e2 The Blind Banker 

- Sherlock points out that Eddie Van Coon was murdered where as everyone thought  he had committed suicide because Eddie was shot on the right side of his head where as the layout of his apartment proved that  he was left handed 

( TBB SUMMARY ) 

[fellshish]

And yet again this leads back to the suicide theme, it seems…

[coffeeteaitsallfine]

@patiencegrenade Not quite, the fake suicide to make it look like a lover’s quarrel was in reference to episode 4 “Elementary, My Dear Murdoch” the first episode of the season to feature Arthur Conan Doyle as a character. A man’s son died and he wanted to keep talking to his son through a medium. But the woman was going to possibly discredit the medium, and he didn’t want to lose connection to his son so he shot the woman and framed it on her lover. Then he shot the man, putting the gun in his right hand to make it look like suicide, but they figured out it was fake because the man was left handed similar to TBB and what we know about john.

 Then in episode 9 “Belly Speaker” I was mistaken about the phrase “met his maker” which wasn’t in the scene I thought it was, and was in reference to someone else’s case Doyle was concerned about.

Another interesting thing I found, was that in TGG as the earlier scripts show that Kanan dug up, Moriarty “reveals his brown eye to now be blue,” but earlier in this scene as he is making John say whatever he wants he makes him say, “Gottle o’ geer … gottle o’ geer … gottle o’ geer.” This phrase is well-known as a garbled version of “Bottle of Beer” for being hard for ventriloquists to say because they can’t touch the lips together. So John is effectively being used as a puppet during this crucial moment as it is often thought that the 5 pips foreshadow each season respectfully.

Then in TSoT, in CAM’s telegram he says, "To Mary, lots of love poppet, oodles of love and heaps of good wishes, from Cam. Wish your family could have seen this…“ which sounds very close to puppet if CAM is trying to send her a message, and we know they like to play with words: ammo/amo, etc.

[marcespot]

Here’s another lovely ‘coincindence‘: remember how in S4 they made Arthur Conan Doyle part of the story itself… as if he was present, watching it all happen? (x)
