-Soldiers?
-Soldiers. "I know you two. And if I'm gone, I know what you could become, because I know who you really are: a junky who solves crimes to get high, and the doctor who never came home from the war. Will you listen to me? Who you really are, it doesn't matter. It's all about the legend, the stories, the adventures. There is a last refuge for the desperate, the unloved, the persecuted. There is a final court of appeal for everyone. When life gets too strange, too impossible, too frightening, there is always one last hope. When all else fails, there are two men sitting arguing in a scruffy flat like they've always been there, and they always will. The best and wisest men I have ever known, the Baker Street boys, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson".
Mary Watson, "The final problem".
It will be very emotional post so if you are not addicted as I am - just don't look and judge me.
All the phrases and quotes are buried somewhere deeply, because yes, I am THAT crazy fan, who knows everything even about the fanfiction, so don't even consider me not knowing every fucking detail about the episodes.
It is all about the detective in funny hat and his fellows helping him every time he needs it. When I tell someone that this show is a part of my latest - 5-6 years life, not everybody understands. I love furiously and it is more than simple love - it is passion, addiction, god knows what's that exactly, but Sherlock has so strong influence on me I can't even imagine my life without it. And we all know that we need to, because this is the logical ending, it is the best ending in the whole world, even though it is too much sugar in it. Every opinion now has a chance to be told and be listened to.
I noticed when I truly fell in love with this show: when I watched backstage, when I looked up all the cast and when I watched the Reichenbach fall. My mom wanted to call the ambulance when she watched me crying THAT hysterically. But my favorite episode choosing through old ones is Scandal in Belgravia, although my true and only ship is Sherlolly, I know this episode FULLY: I can continue all the quotes from there. I can say the words instead of actors. You can check me anytime (even when I sleep).
This speech is quite chaotic: that's because of my emotional tense right now, sorry about that. I don't even want to start HOW BRILLIANT the cast is and what an amazing job was done there. All these seasons were just like work in progress: we have been observing how our favorite characters have been growing. We waited for every season for years just to enter the world of Baker Street from side to side: we cried, we laughed, and now - I don't know what it is. I am so happy and I am so broken, painfully vacant at the same time that I am starting to be afraid of myself. But there is one thing I know definitely: my life will never be the same (read as sane) again. Even if there will be season 5.
All the interviews I read, all the backs, conferences, related projects I watched were and are such a pleasure: when you fall in love with these guys, you fall in love with British accent, Britain and you are even thinking that you somehow belong to the Queen, but then you look out of the window and don't see the Houses of Parliament or Buckingham Palace. Quiet sad.
But let's return to the show: yep, if I had a chance to give an Oscar - you know what I would done. Besides our awesome Baker Street boys, I want to note that the power of women in this show is actually the biggest. Every great man has his own strong woman behind his back. Eurus, Mrs Hudson, Mary, Molly, Irene Adler, Janine and even Anthea (and even Sally Donovan) - thank you for your existing. Thank you for being you. I advise everyone to watch the conference that is called "Women in Sherlock", that was held in 2015 and that is really awesome. Just google it and have a nice evening watching.
Yes, I know that I must say a few words about "The final problem". To be honest, I can't even discuss it with the friends now, it is damn hard and painful.(bc it is the end, not because the episode was awful). The episode was brilliant - our lovely detective was forced to struggle with emotions, which I was always looking for in him. All the season 4 was just like a confession: His mind is conquered by his own heart, no matter how desperately he tried to stay away from that. And I must say, that this heart is big and warm.
I already miss lovely Mary Watson. I already miss the one and only Jim Moriarty. I miss my the most favorite British woman in the whole world - Louise Brealey. I miss two Baker Street boys so much - and only 2 days have passed. This is the heartbreak I talk about.
I am writing this post down and I realize: I have so much to say. I think I can already write a book about all this stuff. But as you know - everything ends. So if you just have questions - ask me anytime in direct messages, I will be fulfilled with joy and ready to answer you.
Thank you, Mark, Steven, Sue. Thanks to all the crew that was involved to make this show the best I've seen on the screen.
And special thanks to David Arnold - he made me shivering every time I hear his masterpieces.
Sometimes, I think all of this is just a work of art.
YOU made it all possible. (This is also a quote, yep, I am that into it)
But the game is never over.
Now we'll play ours. (I am sorry for my english, if you see some mistakes - let me know)
