Making tea, foreshadowing, and kicking the arse of the British Government

The I LOVE YOU scene is where they show all the secret footage they’ve been sitting on for years, where they show antis and casuals that Johnlock was never going to be fan service because it’s been filmed all these years

“Take me back to the start”
Ending the 26-page deduction scene with Sherlock answering The Final Problem

Oh!! And given that some people are speculating that this is actually a deduction and not a confession… what if this is the scene where all the evidence of john showing Sherlock love from all the seasons, all flashing before the screen, culminating in Sherlock realizing that John was always saying “I love you”.

Love this.

MARY
If you love me, don’t read it in front of me.

JOHN
…Why?

MARY
Because you won’t love me when you’ve finished.

Oh shit

Perfect. For one shining moment, I’d thought the BBC had released this.

I have a Theory.

What would be the scariest thing (not person) for Sherlock Holmes to lose?

What does he rely on to do what he does?

“I am observant in some ways, just as Holmes is quite blind in others.”

(Steven Moffat quote source: [x])

Take a look at Ben’s eyes at some points in the recent trailers. 

Do they look a little… blank?

This is too dark for me. Just nope.

“We explicitly said it is the darkest season yet and still obviously full of laughs and fun, but is generally, tonally dark.

You can’t see it, in fact! We’ve run out of money and just turned all the lights off.” – Mark Gatiss [x]

Even temporary blindness as a symptom of illness would explain why he’s so fucked up and stumbling through the streets in TLD, and of all the light and torches we’ve seen associated with John, this is one we seem to neglect. But as a doctor, it’s probably the most relevant to his character and we’ve only seen him use it once. 

He’s literally shining light in Sherlock’s eyes, you can’t tell me that’s not relevant. 

Every time I see this on my dash it gets worse. I guess I’ll add another one. That one episode everyone hates yet is always the rosetta stone for our codes. It’s even in the title. The only title which isn’t a play on an ACD title.

Um, well:

Mark Gatiss Says ‘Sherlock’ Fans Have Missed “Blindingly Obvious” Clues

In the run-up to season four of Sherlock, we’ve already watched and rewatched the trailer, scoured photos of Benedict Cumberbatch (ahem), and read up on every fan theory, and yet co-creator Mark Gatiss has said we’ve still missed “blindingly obvious” clues on what the future holds for our favorite detective.

I AWAIT DEATH

Hi, just going to add some Lamp Theory into the equation here. So, you can see in the tiny teaser trailer with the water that the lamp above John is on:

So John can see. However, the lamp above Sherlock is off. There is no light:

So, maybe it’s that Sherlock’s world is a little dark. Maybe it’s entirely dark because of the blindness y’all laid out above so well. So lamp theory and blind!theory come to the same conclusion.

This is happening, you guys. 

Does the LiR, with her cane, somehow come into play with this?

YOU KNOW WHO HE LITERALLY TOLD YOU THREE YEARS AGO

THAT’S MARTIN’S BROTHER

Yo, homie. Please elaborate on your rumpelstiltslock idea. I can't quite wrap my head around it, but I'm getting curiouser and curiouser.

Welllll…

Baby Watson gots to go somewhere. We’re working under the assumption that Mary Watson is a romantic obstacle and Baby Watson is a pawn. Baby Watson could be completely fake too, but I just think that’s too easy of a way out for the writers to take. You make a baby, you deal with the baby fallout. So something happens to Baby Watson next season, something that is a little more compelling than Uncle Sherlock the babysitter because that’s called plot. Emotional turmoil, pressure points, the constant danger that is being in the acquaintance of Sherlock Holmes? Kidnapping is the obvious choice, but we all watch the show - they’ve got to make it ‘clever’…
True Name Power. They’ve already built this up so much, it’s crazy. Sherlock and John both know each other’s full names. I will happily take all the symbolism I want from that on its own, but it’s a huge trope in fairy tales as well. You need a person’s true name to curse them, every good witch knows that. Names are power. Who points out that we “don’t even know her real name,” even though it was conveniently provided to the protagonists on a flash drive that may or may not have been read by one or both of our heroes? That’s the one…
Fairy Tale Villain. Moriarty already told us what part he means to play: “every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.” Sherlock is (or is not) the hero, John is the damsel in distress, CAM is the slain dragon, Mycroft is the Queen, etc. etc. We’ve done Hansel and Gretel already. Fairy tales are Moriarty’s jam, and they laid them on thick in s2, but even continued with the themes through s3 as well. What could be more appropriate for Moriarty’s return thannn…

RUMPELSTILTSLOCK!

Imagine: Moriarty spirits freshly minted Baby Watson and Mary Watson away, with or without cooperation from bad, bad Mary herself. Did she owe Moriarty for fixing up her Mary Morstan identity? Is Moriarty just being his usual, crazy old self? Is this a powerplay by Mary? Who knows. John and Sherlock panic until they receive Moriarty’s demands: I keep your baby unless you can guess Mary Watson’s real name. 

Then it alllllll comes out - who didn’t trust Mary and peeked the drive? Sherlock? Both of them? Or is it even John’s baby? Does Mary spill the beans and sacrifice herself for John, or has Sherlock figured it out already that the baby isn’t his? Is Mary Moran? (hint: yes) There’s so many directions they could take a showdown like this!!

nixxie-fic:Episode 2 plot details - Mary is definitely in this...

nixxie-fic:

Episode 2 plot details - Mary is definitely in this episode. So that should shh the peeps who said she was there for filming but because we never saw her on camera it meant she’d die in ep 1! A film company would really never do that, it’s illogical (even if to put people off the scent etc).

Lestrade however still keeps being described as ‘inspector’ not even DI, yet alone DCI, when will we ever know his rank now LOL (can you tell I’m still not over them missing Lestrade off the baby announcement!)

And… what do we think Culverton’s secret is??

Yup, Mary is there.
