In need of a Pilot

Come to think of it, maybe even pirates – no matter how lawless and independent they might appear – must sometimes be in need of a pilot, when sailing in unknown waters? :) In this meta I’ll go in-depth into the meaning of “pilot” and play around with some mirrors and metaphors, and I’ll also try to read them as code. Because I think we have a puzzle to solve in BBC Sherlock (as I said here). And I also believe there might be a signal message in TFP telling us to pay attention to code.

As I mentioned in the discussions around the ‘golf-whiskey-x-ray’ message in TFP (X), a “pilot” can mean at least three different - although related - things:

1. The most obvious meaning of the word is a person who flies an airplane, a.k.a. the “captain”. In an aircraft, the pilot and the captain is usually the same person. There might be one or two co-pilots as well, but the captain is the Pilot In Command. In TFP, the lonely little girl on the plane tries to wake up the pilot, who seems to be deeply asleep, but (for some reason) she calls him “the driver”. The four stripes on his shoulder epaulets tell us that this is the captain.

The plane is flying on auto-pilot at the moment, but the girl will need a real, living pilot to be able to land. This is one of the two aircraft pilots we’ve seen in BBC Sherlock this far, and his face is hidden, we never get to see it - who is he? I’ll get back to the substitution of “pilot” for “driver” later in this meta.

The other pilot of this show is the one who in HLV was supposed to take Sherlock on a deadly mission to Eastern Europe. But the orders were changed, and instead she flied him back home again.

Wonderful meta @possiblyimbiassed You are completely right. This story is packed full with metaphors, mirrors, codes and double meanings … displayed openly for anyone to see and still …. cleverly hidden in plain sight.

The pilot and the driver, the killer and the guide, drugs and the chemistry of love, getting killed/murdered and effectively falling in love …. ‘I AM SHER LOCKED’ is the key to Irene’s camera phone and ‘unlocking sherlock’ has been chosen as title for the special features of Series One. Coincidence?

“All the nice girls love a Sailor” or “Ship Ahoy!” - there’s more to that song than meets the eye: ‘it was published in 1909, with performer Hetty King on the front cover. Hetty King was the stage name of Winifred Emms, a well known male impersonator’ (X X) I know there’s a whole meta on my blog about Hetty King and that song but I can’t find it because the tags still aren’t working properly. Maybe someone remembers the author and can provide a link? (@devoursjohnlock @tendergingergirl maybe one of yours?)

Sumatra - the abandoned transport station underground that had been closed before it ever opened - located ‘right underneath the (Mind) Palace of Westminster’.

And the name of the second station mentioned in this scene is ‘St. James Park’.

In an episode where Sherlock has to solve a skip code which reads: ‘Save souls now. John or James Watson. Saint or sinner. James or John. The more is less.’ … that particular name for the other Station - ‘St. James Park’ - is probably no coincidence either. (X)

Also (not my discovery, this has been mentioned before, but sadly no link either) the names on Sherlock’s screen in that short moment are displayed in mirror writing. It gives the impression as if someone is looking out of the screen on Sherlock and John, watching them. That the letters ‘CAM’ can be seen as well at the same time and in precisely this episode …. well ….

Yes, John is the pilot and the driver …. but what is it, that the John character inside Sherlock’s mind palace represents? If I had to make a guess, I would say he represents two things: friendship and love. The eternal best friend, the ’one fixed point in a changing age’, John, who is still stuck in 1895 … the ‘friend’ who finally (metaphorically) has to die in order to give birth to the ‘lover’. And Eurus (emotional Sherlock) shoots him by the end of TLD …. remember?

finally i had time, and alertness, to read this excellent meta, and additions! The metaphorical reading really is that consistent, right back to the first episode, and even the “unaired pilot”. I kept this meta open in a browser tab to make sure i would have it at my fingertips, and what should be among the “you may also like” but @kateis-cakeis ’s video meta about the mirroring between ASIP and the pilot!

I’m also reminded of an early meta i know i have reblogged, listing all the locked rooms that signify sherlock’s heart. (by @plathbees, iirc, now called @psi-psina ) Again, a very consistent metaphor, used over and over.

let’s stop seeing sex as the biggest thing you can do to show someone you love them

huntinthedwellin98

everyone knows that the real way to show someone you love them is to find them a really cool rock. not a diamond. just a neat rock that you think they will enjoy

lesbianrey

did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government

lesbianrey

and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work

lesbianrey

“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” - Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”

palominogold

this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men

STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

agreedt

attentiondonor

stop depriving non-white actors opportunities to act and get recognized!

out-there-on-the-maroon

Voice actors often don’t know who they’re reading for or what franchise they’re in (that’s what the strike was recently about, so they’d know whether they were in a small first time game or the 4th installment of a major franchise, if they were replacing a beloved voice actor, etc.) so please don’t harass the actors, until recently they legally didn’t have the right to know who they were reading for and were usually not told until months or even years later.

Definitely go after casting, directors, and studios executives. Those are the people making the decisions.

gottageekout-deactivated2018121

Example of a VA not knowing (and getting screwed on top of it).

beforetsparrowhawk

They still don’t have the right to know. They got fucking nothing out of that strike. They can know the code name (which might be a serial number or whatever) and if it’s a sequel. That’s it. That’s the extent of the “transparency” they won from the strike.

bloodravyn

As a perfect example of this controversy, if you haven’t looked up interviews surrounding Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross, it’s worth it.

Laura Bailey herself explained that when she auditioned for the role, she was given no information about what the character looked like. It was only after she was hired and arrived for recording that she was shown concept art and discovered the character was a WOC. She was uncomfortable about the situation.

Meanwhile, Neil Druckmann revealed that they were already working on concept art of the character when they hired Laura Bailey. They finalized the character’s design as a WOC after they’d hired a white voice actress, so that was a conscious decision. He was also very flippant about the situation as a whole.

Like people above have said: Yes, whitewashed casting is a legitimate and real issue. But unlike actors in film and stage, voice actors are often totally blind to what they’re auditioning for. They get fucked by NDAs and legal red tape bullshit. Go after the casting directors and execs and high-position game devs that knowingly make these decisions.

missster-anderson-deactivated20

Reblogging for that info

explorerrowan

Call out the studios making these decisions, but leave the actors alone. There’s nothing they can do about it short of breaching the contract and paying thousands in fines to the company that put them in that shitty position in the first place. Game companies are horrendously exploitative of performers and artists and need to be called out.

NSFW ban fail

Reblog if you’re still seeing porn bots despite the NSFW ban. I’m still seeing them. Plenty of legitimate followers seem to be blocked from my feed, however.

seashellronan

grown ass men are out here not eating fruit or vegetables or washing their face and having a list of things women must do to be attractive to them and thus gain their respect like grow the fuck up and eat a carrot literally no woman needs you

“No woman needs you” said the future cat lady lol

Newsflash. No man needs a bitch telling him to eat rabbit food and nagging him constantly.

I cannot wait to see feminism burn itself out.
