A Study in Pink: The primer of everything that is to follow

welovethebeekeeper:

Trust Issues: John, the fan [@delurkingdetective] has trust issues as do we in the writers.


You can read my writing upside down: Yes we can, we can read the underside, the subtext. The upside down of mirrors, foreshadowing and bookends. 


Wrong: The writer’s think everyone else since SACD have been getting this story wrong.


A bit different from my day: Watson encounters Holmes, and yes it is different from Watson’s day, it’s 2010 and same sex relationships are not against the law. 


Oh no I ensured it: The execution of a cheating, murderous, manipulative spouse.


If you’ll be needing two bedroom: Only for a while.


Mrs Turner next door’s got married ones: Mrs Hudson will have married ones by the end of the show.


He’s with me: The story in a nutshell.


We’re done waiting! It’s time to stop the subtext and bring the true story out.


Look at her [at us] really look! Houston, we have a mistake: They have been a couple for over 135 years, and people failed to see it.


What mistake? PINK! Everybody missed the gay.


Might we expect a happy announcement by the end of the week? No, by the end of the series arc.

Mycroft; An enemy: Possibly, may even be probable.

I’m to take you home. Address? Baker Street. 221B Baker Street: John does not give his apartment as his home address, he hasn’t moved in with Sherlock yet. But Home is already there.


You may as well eat. We might have a long wait: You may as well casual date and have sex, I’m not ready, this is going to take time to prepare.


Girlfriend? No, not really my area: I am gay.


So you’ve got a boyfriend then? No: OK, he’s gay. I’d like to be his boyfriend, Vacancy? Yes, score. A vacancy.


I think you should know that I consider myself married to my work, and while I’m flattered by your interest, I’m really not looking for any...: So he is attracted to me, I like that, but I need time. Slow it down. I think this may be something special.


Ready when you are: John’s statement of truth. As soon as you let me know you want it, I’m ready.


Seriously?! This guy, a junkie?! Have you met him? Really look at Sherlock, evaluate the evidence, not the rhetoric.


John, you probably want to shut up now: I need them to think I am a drug user.


And because Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And I think one day, if we’re very, very lucky, he might even be a good one: The writer’s declaration of one of their objectives. They will be showing how John’s influence matures Sherlock into a good man.


Why can’t people think? Why can’t everyone see the subtext? See the obvious relationship in canon?

But this … this is what you’re really addicted to, innit? You’d do anything … anything at all … to stop being bored: Sherlock is addicted to the game not drugs.


Sherlock: Moriarty. John: What’s Moriarty? The basis of the main case running through the show. Not ‘who’ but ‘what’ is Moriarty.

It’s all there folks, all embedded in the first episode. 

Brilliant
