ME

LEAVE SHERLOCK SEASON 4 ALONE!

Bonus:

LEAVE MARY ALONE!

I hate the fact that there’s a term in television writing called “Jumping the Shark,” coined from an episode of Happy Day’s where they go to Florida and literally water ski jump over some sharks, that means “this show has taken an absurd turn which makes the series basically unrecognizable” and then Sherlock 4 literally opens with sharks everywhere.

This haunts me.

If anyone has a meta about this send it my way please, or else tag someone who might know where one is.

Thanks!

Is it just me or does anyone else still think S4 was an absolute joke

Destroying the Coffin

Hang on tight- this is a long and winded explanation...but I have a point, I swear. 

The scene with Molly in the Final Problem and the I love you that destroyed my heart completely...and launched so many feels that after vowing to not touch fan fiction and focus on my own original works, I felt compelled to start writing and create a satisfying ending to TFP, to resolve my own feelings and need to see how Molly and her Sherlock dealt with it.

When I first watched TFP I was sitting on my couch, alone at home, crying and screaming into my pillow because (1) molly was about to die and (2) Sherlock was losing his shit. The coffin destroying, his reaction to when Eurus tells him that the flat wasn’t rigged...it always alluded me. Like, I get that he’s being tortured, as JW says, but there’s definitely something else there. The way he’s sitting against the wall after destroying the coffin (my tv’s paused over that scene right now and i keep looking at it and it hurts my stomach because holy fuck). 

But I think I figured it out. 

The second I love you, most of us will agree, is basically Sherlock realizing that it’s true for him, that he’s telling Molly he loves her because he actually does. Mycroft’s reaction seems to confirm it- he knows his brother, knows how he thinks...he’s in pain for his little brother. 

The reason for Sherlock’s rage, the reason why he loses his shit and destroys the coffin, and says “no, no” while he does it...my theory is that he’s fighting against the very real fact that he’s finally realized he loves this incredible, amazing woman but perhaps a bit too late. There is a real possibility that he’s going to die on Sherrinford, he doesn’t know what Eurus has planned for them, he doesn’t think he’s walking off the island alive because his sister is friggin’ insane. 

With that knowledge, that he’s going to die, that he’s more than likely going to die on that island, without ever going back to London to tell his Molly, face-to-face, and tell her that he loves her...that’s why he shouts no and takes his anger out on the coffin. 

In my mind, he’s fighting for the future that he doesn’t think he’ll ever have with her. He’s rebelling and hurting because he finally, finally, FINALLY understands what he feels for her but too. Bloody. Late. 

Thoughts?
