#tab vs tst

[twocandles]

(1) So, I read your theory on the car crash/Mary and baby die senario and I think you may be right and there WAS a crash, Sherlock was driving and something happened - something Sherlock was/feels responsible for - that probably involved Norbury ...

(2) and the car went into the Thames, which explains all the water imagery and reflections on Sherlock’s face. TST feels like a fiction, reminds me of TAB and Sherlock thinking Lady Carmichel was the villain when it was just the pilot in the plane..

(3) which makes me think Norbury was the “Lady Carmichel” of TST and she was just a witness to a terrible accident, perhaps involved as the other car in the crash? Sherlock can’t save Mary/the baby and John blames him for it? dunno, need answers lol

Hi, thank you for adding all this! WOW, that is a great idea. We know there are no real coincidences in this show so Vivian being involved in that way could just be as plausible as some of the other theories. ;) Or maybe it was her fault then that the accident happened in the first place and that’s why they put the blame on her?

Also, Vivian being widowed and her being a John mirror… hur hur hur.

And lmao I just checked the script again and “That probably accounts for the drink problem, too: the slight tremor in your hand”. Laying the parallels on thick there, Mofftiss.

Yes, we definitely need answers. (Original theory here.)

I also found this exchange interesting, I read it as futher proof that TAB is indeed intended a decoder ring for TST and that all parallels are intentional. Emelia faking her death and coming back to shoot her husband. Sherlock being distraught over not being able to save Lord Carmicheal/Mary. Mary sort of inviting herself over on cases, showing off her terrifying agent skills. Mary working for M. The list goes on and on.

Which makes me hope for another scene to be actualised in the next episodes. 

You know the one. :)
