Who the hell knows about Season 4, but if there is anyone out there who still cares, BBC Sherlock is STILL GAY.

Spectre at the Feast

So… that happened. By following CAM’s looking glass, we find a creepy presence in the interrogation room with John and Lestrade. Some of you said that the dude was a guard or Mycroft in a two-way mirror. But his face was an ashen color, like…. a shark. Also, in the previous scene, John and Lestrade was freely discussing Magnussen being shot in the face, a case supposedly with a D-notice.

What’s going on?

Let’s focus on the creepy dude first. You know who he reminded me of?

Alex Woodbridge. One of three Alex by the way – agra Alex, and Alex Garrideb… a connection to another A (why is the show like this)? But what’s the point of bringing him back?

Superficial. So who’s the undead this time? Someone with an initial “A” perhaps?

Let’s get the premise out of the way first – I believe the entire series 4 was a combination of:

“Sometimes, to solve a case, one must first solve another.” Series 4 is an extension of TAB, no question. The case of Emelia Rricoletti was both symbolic and literal. Symbolic as in solving the 120-years-of-buried-gay since ACD’s The Final Problem, literal as in Redbeard (cherchez la femme, cherchez le chien, i.e. elephant in the room and the curious incident of the hounds), the connection between Moriarty & Mary (both in mourning attire), and the question of “how could he/she survive?” 1895 did get Sherlock as far as Holmes sharing 221B happily with Watson smoking each others’ pipes 🎉 🎉 🎉,  but for present day Sherlock it only got him to “Moriarty is dead” – so he spent his “5 minutes since Mycroft called” sorting through his memory of being Sherlock Holmes since then in somewhat of a chronological order searching for answers.

And when I said Sherlock Holmes, I mean the Sherlock Holmes, the entity, all the Sherlock Holmes there ever was. I think this is one reason we have the insane horror/spy/mystery genres mash-up, the public not knowing John’s blog, and the fourth wall breaking – Sherlock went “too deep” – he intersected with all the previous mainstream adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. But that’s not the only thing going on – we have a spectre at the feast, hidden in plain sight; the one that’s been feeding us the version through a looking glass: doctored footage, surveillance, film within a film, screens within screens, dvd after dvd?

A hint, a split second from a scene, in the middle of the Culverton Smith case that shared eerie similarities to HLV. 

How could Magnussen survive?

p.s. If this is indeed the case, and we get the 4th episode, you know what this mean, right? The self-reference is not only of Sherlock within Sherlock Holmes adaptations but Heartwood/BBC as a producers/broadcaster within all the other producers/broadcasters that ever made/aired a Sherlock Holmes adaptations. What could possibly be so DIFFERENT that they went through all the trouble?

TRUE!

Okay, by just looking at the artwork I deduce that all Holmes and Watson are doing 24/7 is basically sitting around in chairs while judging everything (unless they get up to judge more ppl).

I mean, seriously:

even each other

“oh, and fuck that lamp”

Guys — I keep reiterating this, but because Sherlock has a flashback within TST to John forgiving Mary and throwing the AGRA flashdrive into the fire, something he was never present to see, that definitively means that Sherlock constructed the Holmes family Christmas memory in his mind palace.

Not only does all of season four take place within Sherlock’s mind palace, but it means that Sherlock never shoots Magnussen at his estate.

Which means: a) John never saw the footage of Sherlock rescuing him from the bonfire which explains why his reaction was “You put me in a bonfire as leverage?” as opposed to something more emotional — a false Garridebs moment. b) Sherlock has a repressed memory of shooting an antagonistic figure, either Mary or Magnussen, that will result in him being sent away that the mind palace scene of him shooting Magnussen is based upon. c) Everything that happens after Sherlock goes into his mind palace in the hospital after Janine leaves in HLV (”Mary Watson … Who are you?”) is constructed d) Tie hell is part of EMP and was an indicator from the start

The Lost Special is “lost” because chronologically we’re not in Season Four, we’re still in Season Three.

;;)

I was already leaning toward “HLV was in Sherlock’s mind after the shot” and this helps. YAY

i don’t need to know the identity of the man in black because i already know that he’s……… patriarchy

I suspect your Sherlock experience will let you know who he is a few episodes before the reveal. ;)

Engaging with TJLC made me a much more savvy viewer when I started watching Westworld.

How much clearer could it possibly be?

Drugged Theory really helps explain POV shifts we seem to be perceiving. John doesn’t us the mind palace memory technique but TFP could still be John’s drugged perception.

As Mycroft said, “The Mind Palace is a memory technique. I know what it can do, and I know what it most certainly cannot.”

oh dear god

what if leaking TFP was like... to let us know this could happen again? There’d still be an official air date to get as much ratings as possible, but maybe we’ll get to see it sooner if we’re clever enough. GODDDDD
