This is an experiment. And before you read the following, please make sure that you are sitting in a comfortable position, perhaps with crossed legs or flat on your back. Put on some relaxed music, I’d recommend an Arctic Monkeys or Simon & Garfunkel song. And when you are ready, when you feel like your mind is in a state which makes it possible to actually think, continue. Imagine where you would like to be right now, not with whom, but an actual place. Think of how the ground would feel under your bare feet, what you would smell and how the light would hit your skin. Would the heat make your face tingle or would a gentle breeze hit your bare arms? Close your eyes for a moment and try to experience this place, a place that makes you feel safe and comfortable. (Please, so it, for real). Do you have a certain area in mind? If yes, take a few steps forward. Think of how a simple change of your position would affect your senses, what you hear, what you can see and what you feel. Focus on the way the sun’s shadows would paint images on your body, focus on how a smile starts spreading on your face. Can you feel how every heart beat sends a feeling of warmth through your body? Can you feel your soft lashes on your skin? Close your eyes and focus.

// this is your mind palace. this is where you can go when you are afraid, when you feel the need to escape this world for a moment or two. Keep this place dear and close, keep it to yourself. And now, please close your eyes one last time, to focus on all of your senses, one after the other. Find your mind palace. j.d.m.

The first tip off in The Abominable Bride that what we’re watching was mind palace and not just a Victorian one-off, was the moment Sherlock was in the morgue and muttered to himself “how could he survive”, instead of saying “she”. It gave me chills! I was genuinely shocked at that moment. The audience knew something was up, we just didn’t know what, because the music was intense and the parallel he drew between Ricoletti and Moriarty was obvious.

But what about the two other times Sherlock mistook “she” for “he” in The Six Thatchers? We’ve brushed those off as character quirks or continuity errors. Why?

Was the music not dramatic enough? Were the parallels not obvious enough?

Sherlock said “she” (Mary) destroyed her flash drive, but we know John did it. Sherlock said “she” when talking about the boy who died in the car.

There are other theories for why Sherlock said these things, but not many people question if these moments are meant to parallel The Abominable Bride. If they are, then series 4 can be read as a mirrored universe to The Abominable Bride.

And this works exquisitely well for all three episodes.

Sherlock has had Feelings this Whole Time?: A Meta

[nixxie-fic]

It’s been a joy to us, as actors. We always have that moment where we read the script and ring each other. We have that communal moment between the two of us, of going ‘Oh my God this is so exciting! we’re so lucky to be doing this!’.

New S4 quote from Benedict Cumberbatch talking about him & Martin - in Crime Scene Magazine - (via nixxie-fic)

[strangelylikeable]

Just had a thought...

What if this…

ISN’T Sherlock reacting with GRIEF at someone’s death…but reacting with RELIEF because someone is ALIVE.  I think that someone is John.

What if John had to fake his death to save Sherlock, and this is the scene where Sherlock THINKS he is coming to see John’s body, but instead John reveals himself to be alive.  

But Sherlock is so high or sick that he thinks he is hallucinating and panics, and John slams him against the wall to snap him out of it.  

Just an idea…could still be a death.  But it seems possible that Sherlock’s lip tremble might be disbelief followed by relief.

I O U: Ten Reasons Why John Watson is Actually Moriarty

(1)   They already told us:

They’ve been telling us since Season 1:

See also:

(2)  Are We Sure That Little Girl is Pointing At Sherlock.  Are we sure.  Are we positive.

(3)  The Storyteller. 

Who’s the storyteller of the Sherlock Holmes canon again?

(4)  Sherlock’s first introduction to John (and his subsequent deductions) is paralleled to his first introduction to Moriarty:

Of course Sherlock’s deductions about Moriarty are totally wrong, manipulated by fake characteristics that were planted to fool Sherlock into dismissing him.

But let’s face it - faking an entirely psychosomatic limp that you can forget about half the time, offering a phone that’s been engraved with “clues,” and loudly declaring “different from back in my day” when you enter the room aren’t much more difficult than irritating one’s own eyes to suggest that you go clubbing and picking up a visible underwear brand.

More beneath the cut…
