[hellooteapots-deactivated201905]

so i don’t remember who was talking about the fan proxies in s2 being the geek interpreter boys, but i’m watch teh and it made me start thinking about the progression of the fan proxies in the show, like, in s2, they’re comic book nerds, people who were into the mysteries, dude nerds, probably to be found on reddit, but then in s3, after the s2 hiatus, a time in fandom in which gay narratives weren’t necessarily a problem but like hostility to johnlock was rampant, and the proxy is this kind of like emo tumblr caricature sheri*ty, BUT THEN the NEXT time we get a fan proxy in TAB, it’s a fucking conspiratorial society of militant feminists united against abusers like..  i love this

[thedoubteriswise]

I’ve been staring at this post all day and thinking about how these proxies for the fans aren’t just fans, they’re all conspiracy theorists/involved in a conspiracy. In fact, even though they are all very clear avatars for fans of the show for many reasons, the “conspiracy” concept actually ties them to each other more neatly than anything else, since the TAB brides aren’t actually fans of anything. If we assume that conspiracy theorists/conspirators are proxies for the fans, then who is the fan proxy in s4?

Sherlock is. He’s the only “conspiracy theorist” in this series. He believes a well-liked public figure is secretly a serial killer, which everyone thinks is nuts. They accuse him of having lost his mind, assume that he only thinks this because he’s high as balls, and generally don’t believe him. They’re angry at him for thinking this. He’s shown swirling around his flat surrounded by a magnificently crazy full-room conspiracy wall and he looks totally unhinged to everyone around him. And what does he say when John questions him? He points out that everyone is exactly where Sherlock predicted they’d be, and says “I’m a mess, I’m in hell, but I’m not wrong.”

In spite of everything, we managed to predict a shocking number of stuff that happened in this series. Those of us still here look batshit crazy to everyone else. We’re a mess, we’re in hell, but we’re not wrong.

I can’t fucking believe this shit.

[mal-icious-creature]

Remember that time John had a bomb against his chest and a villain compared him to a pet?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[garkgatiss]

so,to get this straight,why do you think they filmed seperately? how is that evident by the scene? what did they have to gain from it? i dont get it

OKAY nonny, let’s see if I can explain this using my admittedly very limited knowledge of the film-making process.

Say you want to fill 9 min of air time, with dialogue broken down about equally between 3 characters. So around 3 min each. When Real TPTB are making Real Episodes, the three actors would be there together, interacting, reacting, together they make magic, etc. etc. Look at literally any other episode, you can see the effort and the care that they take to stage shots so that as many people are in the shot as possible. The one that always comes to mind is when everyone scolds Mycroft for shouting at Mrs. Hudson at once, but there’s oodles more in every episode. That’s what makes it feel like they’re all there together, that’s what makes it feel real, that’s what makes the show so great.

So in Real Setlock Land, that means 3 actors all working for however long it takes to make 9 minutes of show. One guy flubs one line, all three shoot another take together. One guy doesn’t have a line for a solid 2 minute chunk of those 9 minutes? Doesn’t matter, he’s still there in the shot, silently acting his lil butt off. Want a long, continuous shot over a particular chunk of that conversation? Everybody had better know their lines damn well, because that’s a lot of man-hours to reshoot and exponentially more opportunities and people to muck it up.

But say we’re not in Real Setlock Land. Say we’re in Fucky Setlock Land. Say for some reason you were pressed for time. Let’s just say, completely hypothetically, you had a full calendar of primary shooting responsibilities to prepare for, but you also had to produce a low-rent slasher film using just your nights, weekends, and lunchbreaks. How would you produce 11 and a half minutes of some semblance of a scene with only the bare requirement that your physical form be physically on a set speaking physical words to a camera?

The scene in 221b looks cheap and bad because it is cheap and bad, precisely because it’s A LOT easier to produce. Ben and Martin are the main limiting resources here, so the first corner to cut right out the gate: they don’t need to film together! Now, any day that Ben is off standing in the middle of the road or Martin is being sad at the Watson flat, the other one can be filming on the 221b set with Director Mark and the B Team. Efficiency #1, simple.

Once you make that decision though, you realize that the way you’re going to have to shoot the scene - cutting from face to face as people say their lines, as to not show the empty room - gives you a lot more incidental efficiencies. Like for instance, now Ben doesn’t actually have to sit there patiently waiting for Mark to recite The History of Eurus if the camera is going to be on Mark that whole time (spoiler: it was). Suddenly, Ben’s 3-minute share of talking becomes 3 minutes of show to make total, consisting of 100% Ben’s lines and 100% Ben’s face. The most efficient and painless way to waste an Oscar-nominated actor’s time filming a low-rent slasher movie possible.

It also means there’s no long scenes or monologues for anyone (Ben) to memorize. Cutting away between every single line means he can reshoot a single line at a time, even sit there and memorize a line at a time if he wanted. Of course the greatest actors of our day don’t bat an eye at a few extra lines to learn, but, just assuming here that they have been double-booked for over a month, hypothetically producing at the same time the greatest love story every put to film, it doesn’t hurt that the stakes here become astronomically low with this production method.

Another corner they cut? They never move. They never move. Easier to keep track of where your imaginary conversation partner is if they aren’t moving, easier to pick camera angles that will reliably conceal the fact that there’s no one else in the room if they aren’t moving.

Anyway, did I answer your question? tl;dr: fake fake fake fake just my analysis

[the-7-percent-solution]

The Shortest Meta I will ever write:

At the end of TAB, Sherlock talks to John about what he thinks their life would look like in the future. He goes to the window and he makes his Victorian mind palace change to present-day mind palace. We never see him leave the mind palace because all of series 4 is that projection, exactly as he said it would be. That’s why The Final Problem features John’s Victorian chair and flashes of The Waterfall scene.

The reason “TFP as John’s TAB” is an excellent reading with only a few minor holes is because Sherlock is trying to see himself through John’s eyes – he did that multiple times in TAB. The times we believe we’re getting John’s POV in series 4 is actually Sherlock taking it upon himself to attempt to empathize. That’s why they can both see Mary in TLD. That’s why the greenhouse scene concerning Irene happens twice – once through Sherlock’s POV, once through John’s. Sherlock and John have so much in common, this isn’t a new idea at all. They were mistaken for one another in TBB. They are two halves of the same whole. Series 4 doesn’t switch POVs, it’s Sherlock controlling both.

“I’m you, aren’t I?”

so what mofftiss is saying is, because of sherlock, john’s dick goes from gun to tyre lever to fire extinguisher to massive rifle

My dear lord

[zinaad-blog]

OMG! !!

[zinaad-blog]

Is there any Coincidence ?!

If we agree, that nothing in this show just happens out of coincidence, what does Rosie´s name mean?!

The main stream viewers are told, it´s Mary´s first and middle name. Maybe too easy? If she is an retired superassassine - would she really use her real-live name (which is quite unusual and she not even likes it very much) for her daughter? I think not.

What are our other options:

nice, but I don´t see the connection.

Or this:

“Rosamunde” is a “great romantic play” by von Chezy in 4 acts - and the original text of this was “lost” for a long time... quite fitting...

AND in the cosy happy-little-family-on-the-sofa scene John and Mary unisono say this “It´s not a girls name!” hmmm.... what to think of that? An anagram? Any ideas??

[the-7-percent-solution]

"Four. There's been a fourth. Something's different this time."

“You know how they never leave a note? This one did.”

So the fourth suicide was different than all the rest. Jennifer Wilson, the unfaithful spouse who works in the media, left a note for the detective. The amount of pink helped Sherlock realize the mistake. Her real-but-technically-never-alive daughter was Rachel Wilson.

Why do you think the Unaired Pilot had five serial suicides but when A Study in Pink came around they changed it to four? Faulty? Or we’ve been hacked and it’s a message.

Why did Gatiss and Moffat talk in 2011 about the emotional climax to Sherlock happening in series 4? Because this arc has been their plan from the beginning.

So what happened in the fourth series of Sherlock?

What’s different about this one?

John Watson, unfaithful spouse who works in the media, left a note for the detective. His real-but-never-technically-alive daughter was Rosamund Watson. The amount of references to A Study in Pink helped the audience realize the mistake.

Once you start noticing the ASIP references, everything you see is Mind Palace.

THAT is the clue.

PINK!!

– Mary shooting Sherlock in The Roland Kerr college from ASIP – Sherlock descending the steps to Moriarty’s cell were the same as the ones in Brixton in ASIP – “You’ve been reading John’s blog, the story of how you met” – “Alternatively” opening montage of TAB has ASIP references sprinkled out of order – Holmes and Watson recreate their meeting in TAB – Sherlock and John’s ending Montage in TFP being like Mycroft’s in ASIP when he says “Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson” – “Perfectly sound analysis but i was hoping you’d go deeper” / “Too Deep, Sherlock, you’re in too deep” / “I shall have to go deep into myself” / “These are deep waters” – Sherlock having flashbacks to ASIP in TLD – Faith recreating Sherlock’s adventure in ASIP – John rushing to save Sherlock from a serial killer at the last minute – John’s cane – John (re)starting Therapy

I’m sure there are many others I’m missing, so feel free to add more if you think of them.

TL;DR: Everything since Sherlock got shot is mind palace. The next piece of footage we get will shoot us back in time to series 3. I wouldn’t expect anything less from two men who also write for Doctor Who.

Moffat’s favorite writer used “Redbeard” as a random plot device 20 years ago.

Ready for a little background that will blow your mind? @squirrelwithoutparentingskills dropped by my inbox just now to share some juicy information.

One of Moffat’s favorite screenwriters is William Goldman. He wrote The Princess Bride. Moffat always tells you to read Goldman if you want to learn anything about writing.

Well, in 1996 William Goldman adapted a book called “The Ghost and the Darkness” into a movie.

And in this story, he had a little problem. He needed to make the hero seem brave. He needed a way to boost esteem of that main character.

So he invented a side character and called him “Redbeard”.

Redbeard was to be killed off – he was a plot device.

What I’m saying is Moffat’s favorite writer took a book and turned it into a screenplay but added a character called Redbeard that wasn’t in the originals in order to teach the audience more about the hero.

Also the story is set in the late 1800s with a focus on trains.

Neat. isn’t it?

[asherlockstudy]

Evidence Sherlock never fell for Irene (but he really fell for John)

Sherlock disapproves of Irene’s profession and way of living.

Because you cater to the whims of the pathetic and take your clothes off to make an impression. Stop boring me and think.

Sherlock didn’t want Irene to reveal to John what the code for her safe meant.

Does anyone else agree with me that this means “NO!” more than “I don’t care”?

When Irene visited Sherlock to return his coat, she gave him a kiss. See the lipstick mark?

Her kiss was what woke Sherlock. And his instictive reaction was…

But he quickly understood John was not the one who kissed him in the room and his dream about Irene wasn’t exactly a dream. So he panicked.

(Btw kudos to Sherlock for being faithful to John even in his sleep)

Guys guys guys guys guys!!! (Tinfoil Hattery below!)

I just picked up the Blu Ray for Season 4 and I was watching some of the extras at the end of disk 2. Specifically, I was watching Mark’s video diary, Final Scenes.

Look at what he is wearing in this video diary!! 

(Sorry for the poor quality, my good TV is in the shop.)

That is a grey suit. White stripe. PURPLE TIE. I know it’s hard to tell in these photos, but it’s the purple tie from TAB!! And the same exact suit.

The tie.

The striped pants.

He’s wearing it again here, a few minutes later in the video diary, when he shows us Eurus’s cell.

 He also does a lovely Hannibal Lecter impression here. Can you believe this guy?? 

The thing is, this exact suit and tie combo does not appear anywhere in TFP, or anywhere else in the season. (I looked. Maybe I missed it, if anyone cares to look.)

He’s wearing the suit in the TFP scene in his home, but the tie is different. It’s maroon. (hard to tell by the photo, but check it out yourself if you like.)

So why is he wearing the TAB suit/tie on set for Season 4??

Reasonable explanation or conspiracy?

Did they merely change ties or did they re-shoot some previous scenes where he was wearing that suit and tie?

Tagging tinfoil hatters.
