also me: *scrolls through the tfp spoilers tag til the end of days as if it's not the most distressing and emotionally disturbing thing to ever happen on planet Earth*
Okay I know I said I wasn’t gonna post about it anymore, but people are getting so distraught and worked up over this I feel the need to reassure you all. Johnlock IS go. It is a strong possibility that the screening was edited shorter, or they may have added/taken away some scenes. REMEMBER: They HAVE said before that they film red herrings for the audience. They are just trying to get us so upset that the gratification will be fucking amazing. They are playing one last mind game with us, so even the TJLCers get the rug pulled out from under them. Johnlock is go. Love conquers all. Be a part of making history🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
So, I’m trying to making sense in the mess I had to witness with my two own eyes yesterday. I was feeling awful and betrayed, I was in a very bad place, but, I mean, why I had to be so emotional? Why didn’t I just think??
Tjlc gave me faith again. I don’t want to get my hopes too high right now, but here’s a full list of ridiculous stuff that happened and that can’t be true, not if I trust the narrative.
I’m putting it under the cut, because of spoilers, even if right now what even could be considered spoiler anyway? Maybe I’m just playing the Mofftiss’ game all along? Who knows. In any case, you’re warned!
The TDL cliffhanger has NO resolution whatsoever. We just see a perfectly healthy John saying “oh yeah, I know Eurus too, she just shot me the other day”. I mean.
John’s mysterious letter was NEVER addressed.
No fucking elephant in no fucking room.
No 26 pages of Benedict monologue.
No old stuff sequence.
No love that conquers all (as long as it isn’t the love for a mad sister that Sherlock didn’t even remember and that did HORRIBLE things to him when they were kids and even after??)
No twins spotted anywhere.
Definitely NO HISTORY OF TELEVISION.
The 221B explosion is just ridiculous, over the top and with no emotional charge at all. No one gets hurt, not even a scratch. I’m just worried about this because in the trailer we see the actual scene of the explosion (that I thought it was mind palace), but what can I know right now anyway.
Right after the boom they just go sailing the sea doing the pirates like nothing happened.
Eurus is kept locked in this impenetrable fortress in the middle of nowhere, but apparently she can do whatever the hell she wants, going everywhere with teleportation maybe?
And she can be in different places at the same moment??
GARRIDEBS. FUCKING GARRIDEBS. I mean. How could they WASTE such a thing in such a lame way? Knowing everything Mofftiss ever said about that scene, it was just NO SENSE. Also, the scene was shot in a room that felt very different compared to the others, that were always blue/grey. This one was tainted in red, like the walls in the doomed hospitals of Silent Hill.
At some point Sherlock points a gun at himself and John does NOTHING to try to stop him. Nothing. That moment I wanted to scream.
In the same fashion, when John is in the well and I was thinking that I was finally getting my Johnlock moment, Sherlock initially goes to rescue him, but then he’s just like “ok, just wait, I have to solve this other thing first, just try not to drown in the meantime!” (and I don’t have a fucking clue on HOW they were communicating with each other). And the actual rescuing moment is very disappointing. No emotional charge at all.
The “I love you” scene is just mean. About this I think that edited in some other fashion it could get better, but what can I know right now.
John was completely useless. Completely. Just a presence. Just there for who knows what reason. We just know that Sherlock loves him, but we can’t FEEL it.
It’s never, ever, ever “just the two of them”. NEVER.
Rosie is always there but nobody cares about her.
In the end it’s always Mary with her dvd stating the obvious about the epic bro-partnership and addressing the final scenes. it’s her that says “who you really are”, for fuck’s sake.
I’m sure I’m still forgetting things, but, I mean, this is absurd. And I had to witness it! It was awful, really. I want this not to be true, but I’m trying to making sense of this mess right now. There are things like the soundrack titles that matched what happened and nothing of it was Johnlock, but, who knows, maybe they predicted this as well?
I think that if handled well Eurus could be a GREAT symbol of Sherlock’s repressions. I’m still not convinced that she actual exists. But we’ll see on Sunday. Still want to believe.
