Still one of my favorite crack videos on YT. 😂
‘A more pleasant friend?’ What the heck is that?
Shade against Martin’s now-infamous supposed comments, or against John’s actions in S4? None of which, by the way, are Martin’s fault ...
You know what? This isn’t funny, BBC. Or whoever wrote that blurb. Not okay. Not okay at all.
Watching ASiP reminds me of what, precisely, I fell in love with when I first watched this show.
It was Sherlock and John. The dialogue between them, the banter, the depth of acceptance and understanding despite their having met for the first time, the sizzling unresolved sexual tension that laced everything they did. Sherlock and John. Everything else was gravy.
I enjoyed it, I did.
But yes, I agree that there were a hundred and one continuity errors, a lot of questions left unanswered, a bazillion strange, unnecessary extrapolations on things that turned out to be nothing. And I'm not even talking about the pages of meta I've read since joining this fandom! I can also see why people from the show have been talking about this season being possibly the last -- I can definitely see that. Not just from the point of view of the narrative and the way they told it, but also because, in the telling, they have managed to alienate and disappoint many of the most passionately dedicated fans of the show -- Johnlockers, Adlockers, Sheriarties, and Sherlollies alike -- each of whom are the reasons why Sherlock became the phenomenon it is. That is a sad fact, but it is what it is. For my part, however, I remain positive. The most vicious motivator is love, after all, and I can see how the fandom will bounce back with a vengeance after this, because whatever happens, we all still love John and Sherlock. So I can only imagine the fan art, the fan fiction, the fan-made videos that this series will generate -- it will be massive, it will be glorious, and I cannot wait to witness it, to read it, to see it. On with the show, I say!
One of the things I loved about TFP
despite it being such a mess, was the end part where you see BOTH Sherlock's families: his real one, the one he shares his blood and genes with, and his found one, the one he shares his heart and soul with. Both are equally, painfully important to Sherlock's development as a person, and I felt that if anything, they were able to show THAT. That's also why I thought John got it so very, very wrong when he was pushing Sherlock to go after Irene Adler: according to him, if Sherlock did, it would 'complete' him. The thing is that he did not realise that his having a woman in his life did not complete him -- ironically enough, it broke him into such small pieces he was hardly recognisable in the end -- but that it was actually Greg, Mrs. Hudson, Molly, Mycroft and Sherlock (obviously) that did, all without him really noticing. Just like Sherlock, it was this found family that helped him pick up his shattered self, accepted him, and made him feel, in the end, like he actually mattered. Like he belonged. So yeah, TFP was a massive plot sinkhole, but there were some shining moments, too, and this was one of them.

Mrs. Hudson got to drive an Aston Martin
So let me see if I got this straight ...
Victor Trevor = Redbeard = Toby = John?
