So, what has all this got to do with me? 🪞
I am once again thinking about the escape room
Zero progress I’m still on that one frame of John’s face
you know this old post about shorthand is doing rounds these days,(being the noob that i am first time i came across it was a few days ago) and let’s assume ‘I O U = it is john’ is The Final Problem and combine that with the other widely accepted theory that staying alive is The Final Problem and what do we get?
it is john who needs to stay alive. john is dying. john is suicidal. season 4 is about john being suicidal. save john watson. season 4 is john’s suicide note. in his blog.
IM SCREAMING john leaving a note/cry for help in his blog.... SAVE JOHN WATSON, giving sherlock a case, “hardest case of your career”..,.,.,, like ok maybe, like a depressed person would, he thinks he’s beyond saving, OR WORSE, he thinks it would be hard for sherlock to care about him???!?!??!?!?! THE FUCK”!??!!!!!!
i need to punch something.
It’s Saturday night, and I have no Johnlock thought for today, but maybe, juuuust maybe— all the thoughts are Johnlock? Idek. I’ve been drinking.
Saving John Watson
Save souls now! John or James Watson? - TEH
MARY: Save John Watson. (Save him, Sherlock. Save him.) - TLD
What a funny coincidence, right? Exactly the same wording. And there is more. We do not know for sure who sends the skip code. We assume it is Magnussen but the first message is addressed to Mary whereas the following are directed at Sherlock. Anyway, Mary is involved. It is her decision to turn to Sherlock - something she is not told to do by the sender. Which is strange if we remember her skills. She could have driven the motorbike herself.
And in TLD it is Mary herself who sends the message, a video presciently recorded before her death. At least we are meant to believe this. But it happens in an episode that is full of prescience if not clairvoyance.
Strangely enough, in TEH the immediate danger to John is far greater than in TLD. Sure, he seems depressed but he is not drugged and put into a fire, right?
Another thought: In TEH Mary is leading Sherlock into danger in order to save John. In TLD Mary is leading Sherlock into danger in order to save John.
But how can we interpret this on a symbolic level? Well, it is Mary (whatever she may represent here) who is sort of uniting Sherlock with John. In both episodes Sherlock and John have been estranged and in both episodes it is Mary who brings them together again. Which is remarkable since we usually tend to see her as divisive where the two men are concerned.
This is quite a jumble of thoughts and I would love to hear your ideas.
