ABOUT SHERLOCK ABOUT THE REICHENBACH FALL AND HUMAN ERROR
This particular episode have forced me thinking what the fuck was wrong with me. It seems so romantic for me and it was a first time, when I seriously tought that there is something about it. Something purely gay. It was a long time before the johnlock conspiracy, you know and for the first time, when I stopped believe it's just a joke. That's a reason why i want to write about it.
I had showed the series to everyone, who was interested, or for those people who simply didn't mind. But when I saw this episode with my aunt two years ago and I told her that i think it's the most romantic episode from all six episodes, she started loudly protesting. She had a problem understand what is romantic about it. She didn't see anything at all and was madly pissed without any reason. Told me, that she would understood if I told this shit about Scandal in Belgravia because there is at least a Woman.
Well... Now I believe there was nothing wrong with me. I have never excused my point of view and I am not gonna do it in the future. Never EVER. Because I think, it's right. Even if johnlock won't happen, remember THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANYONE WHO SEE THIS BLOODY EPISODE AS ROMANCE!
Now I know like many others that it's just literally a human error.
Like many of you wrote: if would was one of those two a woman then everyone would saw it.
It' s such a truthful thing!
Let's look at how whole episode looks like with only one difference that John will be a girl now:
1) HE (Sherlock) doesn't want to shows his weakness and mainly doesn't want SHE (John) thinking that he isn't a genius.
2) Moriarty is trying to destroy his reputation and at the end, over all the pitfalls SHE still believes in HIM.
3)They are coming to arrest HIM but SHE steadfastly and faithfully prevents HIS honor.
4) SHE even punches chief superintendent when he said something insulting about Sherlock and finally allowed to arrest together with SHERLOCK.
5) Then, when HE is persuaded by HER endless loyalty again and again, police men fetter their hands together because they has just a hundred police cars standing around and only fifty lawmen, which means they haven't another handcuff for HER of course.
6) HE unexpectedly decides to run away with HER pretending SHE is a hostage. During their escape, they take their hands what it's more important than to keep a gun.
7)When HE finds that he has to die, HE leaves HER confused on the sidewalk in the dark and goes to prepare a plan on his own.
8) Meanwhile SHE is going to find Sherlock's brother because SHE is worry about HIM. At the moment when she finds it's HIS brother's fault SHE is totally pissed of him.
9) Two of them are hiding in the hospital for a rest of the night.
10) Before he goes on the roof pretending fake suicide, occurs misunderstanding between them. HE leaves HER to believe that HE is just an asshole without any compassion. So she called him a machine, angrily slam the door and goes away.
And that's, how SHE gives goodbye to HIM face to face without really knows it.
At the end They can not get closer to each other and they can only use their phones.
11) HE tell HER that HE was a fake all the time, that he lied to HER and then jump.
12) after all SHE still doesn’t stop to believe he was a genius. SHE believes in Sherlock Holmes... absolutelly.
So what exactly is wrong on the romantic interpretation?
Who counted more, than ten popular expression of love? I did.
If you want to tell me, that everything what happened in there has a sensible reason, and they did what everybody would did it if he was in their situation then I hundred procent agree with you.
But who them get to this situation on the first place?
Gatiss and Moffat never had had to make this story about a big misunderstanding, fidelity, faith and devotion. But they did. Gatiss and Moffat never had had to do those two keeping their hands and running over night street like two teenagers falling in love. They chosed this way. They never had had to make Molly saying " You look sad, when you think he can't see you." but they bloody did!
When I decide to write a fanfiction occasionally, I mostly had a vision in my head. I'm imagining few specific scenes and whole story, no matter how complicated, good or bad it is at the end, it's actually about that particular best scene and about the way how I get to that.
Everytime when I watch The Reichenbach Fall I imagine how Gatiss and Moffat invented this episode: They want Sherlock and John clutching their hand so much, that they don't let policemen give to John own handcuff. They make Sherlock who screams "Take my hand". They make John who punches chief superintendent so he can be arrested along with Sherlock. And finaly, they definitely must jump under the bus together!
I have seriously a doubt, Gatiss and Moffat invented all these scenes and later they said: wow! look at this funny Bromance! Those guys are best friends ever! We made it so obvious!
In The Reichenbach fall is several a very visible details on their hands.
A - Sherlock's and John's hands in air when Sherlock was going to jump from the roof top.
B - First case should remind "take my hand" scene.
But that's not everything.
D - Bad guy takes Sherlock's hand = Somebody kill the bad guy.
E - Moriarty takes Sherlock's hand = Moriarty is dead after moment.
C - John controls Sherlock's pulse when Sherlock is already dead.
So there is actually only one right hands touch. And it's "take my hand" scene. It's only one scene, when it was Sherlock's iniciative. He want to keep John's hand. It telling us, that it must be Sherlock, who must demonstrate an interest in him and open up his heart to John.
When bad guy and Moriarty touched Sherlock, they died. (never mind that moriarty maybe not)
When John touched Sherlock, he is already dead (from John point of view ) - that's means it's too late for him (That's what he think. But he is wrong)
So that's all. This is how I feel about The Reichenbach fall. It's not about Sherlock's death or Moriarty's death. It's about love.
This episode simply presents their relationship as romantic as it's possible. When anyone says that it's a crap it's mainly incredibly unfair. And it's sad. Because I can't even blame it on the people who don't see anything because they don't expect it.
Thanks god to season three!
I am sorry for my english, and wish you luck!
