ARE THERE PEOPLE DOING AN ONLINE VIEWING OF THE SIX THATCHERS TOMORROW? IN THAT CASE: CAN WE HAVE A WATCHALONG? PLEASE?
I’m in Sweden and will be having to rely on really bad streaming sites to see Sherlock tomorrow so if anybody is viewing it online I will be eternally grateful if I could join. I am so scared of spoilers and it often takes about a few days if not a week for me to find a way to view it in a non-crappy way (and don’t even get me started on Swedish television).
I am tagging loads b’cuz desperate.

Try to watch via beeb or filmontv. If you use beeb, you can access iplayer afterwards and watch it there again, even when your lifestream fucks up during the episode :). I won’t liveblog cause I can’t watch and blog at the same time, but I will hopefully be online afterwards to discuss.
Take care! We’ll survive this!
I’ve been setting up links today to try to watch tomorrow. I live in Pennsylvania, so I believe the UK broadcast is at 3:30pm our time. It will air on PBS at 9pm, but I’ll try to watch it live if I can. I’ll have a tumblr window open too and will read/write when it’s commerical break and def after!
My expereince with S3 is that the places I found it to stream from (like filmontv) had so many casuals and others in the chat window it flew by. Not really a good place to chat with other tljc’ers. But tumblr works.

We’ve watched the first episode and we really felt as though something bad was going to happen…Mark: It’s prefigured. You start with the sharks and then you go into lots of light-hearted fun. But it’s important to think: ‘This is not going to end well.’ I was listening to people sobbing in our first press screening – that’s a very good reaction.
Are you two still moved to tears, despite knowing what’s coming up?Mark: Oh, I cry every time with episode one. That one shows what fun the duo have, but that events have consequences… It’s about the past coming to get you. And there are at least two scenes in episode two that make me cry. And I always cry at a certain point in episode three…Steven: Episode three is the finale of finales.

The John-thinks-the-baby-is-Sherlock’s speculation
I’ve been staying away from end times meta speculation because, like, it’s almost here and I’m tired. But I’ve seen this float by a few times.
As much as I hate the idea (I’ve never been a fan of the “big misunderstanding” obstacle of romances), this unfortunately makes sense to me.
1. Why all the constant references in S3 to Sherlock and Mary somehow being close behind John’s back? Lines like “Mary and I think it’s 5″ (or whatever the weight gain was for John). And “Give my love to Mary” after he shoots CAM. Or “Your name was the first thing he said when he woke up.” During S3 these lines just pissed me off and made me roll my eyes. Because Sherlock can’t REALLY like Mary, right? Esp not after she shoots him. BUT. Those lines actually make more sense if they’re placed there, narratively speaking, in order to create a “big misunderstanding” in John’s mind? So that, like with Janine and Irene, he thinks Sherlock has feelings he doesn’t have? I hate that, honestly, but it makes sense that those lines are setting that up, that John believes Sherlock and Mary are genuinely closer than they are.
2. On the positive side, IF this is the way they go, and John thinks that, maybe AT LAST there will be a confrontation about it. I’d love to see an argument where John accuses Sherlock of sleeping with Mary, and Sherlock is just like WTF? I did everything for YOU. I tolerated her for YOU. And besides, once and for all, I’m GAY. Maybe at last it would force them to communicate.
This miscommunication shit is getting pretty old though. I hate it when characters could resolve everything by just TALKING to each other. I hope they don’t wait til the end of E3 to resolve it.

Based on the HLV Christmas scene, we are shown how John Watson is the east wind that will come after Mary Morstan.
The G loop is more closed in the 2nd.
The R has a bigger empty space in the 1st.
The tail of the R is lower in the 1st.
The period after R is more distinct and farther from R in the 2nd.
The empty space of the last A is bigger in the 2nd.
The right leg of the last A is slightly curved in the 2nd.
John might have burned another file drive. He showed Mary her actual
file
drive
but, with a sleight of hand, burned a copy.
Mary would have noticed if the one John showed her was hers or not. In the same way that Irene can tell if the phone in her hand is HER phone. So John didn’t show her the copy, but showed Mary her actual
file
drive, then burned another.
What are you up to, John? “The problems of your future are my privilege” is looking more and more like a promise of revenge. Mary screwed over the most morally principled character on the show and he’s not going to rest until he fucks shit up.
John burning the
file drive
is him essentially saying, “I will burn you, Mary, or whoever the fucking AGRA you are.” And since Mary had said that everything about her was on that
file drive, then John is going to burn EVERYTHING about her.
I think after S4, Sherlock will no longer doubt John’s acting skills. Not sure he doubted anyway. That sorry excuse about not letting “the cat out of the bag” in TEH was lame. John was a skilled enough liar that he was able to avert homicide suspicion from him since ASiP.
The only thing John fails at lying believably is his straightness. But then again, he never claimed he was.
brilliant
When you put it under that angle..
THIS IS NEEDED TO BE SEEN BY MORE AND MORE PEOPLE.
Different file drives, babe. They’re clearly different, so now, I have never analyzed such important thing at the show and I don’t have information enough to get a conclusion, but I have this strange feeling that this means a lot. The producers wouldn’t put another drive to burn if it was supposed to be the same drive, and actually, if it was supposed to be the same, why with such great and differences in the writing, that can be observed by non-trained eyes. I wasn’t looking for details in the letters, there is a dot between “R” and “A” in one drive and there isn’t in the other.
Obviously, the stuff about the drives is a thin detail, and I would never have the idea of comparing the two, but when I see here, it’s just amazing how people picked and pointed this, I claim a wound of applauses. When we discover the importance of this single drive, it’ll be fantastic.
It’s perceptible that in HLV the last thing John did was to forgive Mary. Actually, that talk was quite interesting, and the precise words John used, as well as this observation, should be and will be analyzed thousands times. Perhaps in the middle of some of those metas rests the truth, mixed up with bets and predictions, merely suppositions. Sincerely, I will be surprised next season, and if I am not counting wrong, 55 are still standing between me and the first episode, I can just imagine what the hell will happened when I see T3T.
Sharing without being asked, it will be crazy, you know, I think I will be training in December how to understand their pronunciations, because when I know what they’re going to say it’s easier to catch up the words, but they speak so fast, and I don’t think I will be able to wait some hours for a bad translation.
Anyway, until next.
PS: sorry for English’s mistakes, not my language, so sometimes it happens.
NICE. The visual is very exposing of John’s possible game plan. He’s totally not letting her get away with killing Sherlock.
this is probably a good time to mention this blog will be rife with spoilers once s4 drops
sorry lads i will not shut the fuck up about it and also am bad at tagging shit
Pretty much, yeah. Me too.
