Still EMP or coma
I just noticed something in HLV in the minute 45’. Please watch when Sherlock supposedly go out of his mind palace. Sherlock is considering Mary and when he come back the monitor behind him, showing us his heartbeat, starts going back and not forward. The monitor is running backwards, from right to left. When he is talking to Janine, in the minute 43'40", the monitor runs well, from left to right.
I don’t know how put the gif from the two scenes so please go and watch and tell me I don’t go crazy.

@yan-yae: Wow, great catch! I checked it and you are absolutely right. And you know what? They show us the heart monitor again and again, they are practically rubbing it in. Look, he has a heart monitor, the line is going from left to right as it should. And then, after the Mary deduction when he supposedly comes to, it changes direction. Maybe he never comes out of his MP. Which would mean that thinking about Mary leads him to playing through ideas of how to show John who she is and what she did. Which would explain the boltholes everyone knows about, Mycroft calmly sitting in his office when his brother’s life is in danger, and everything that follows.
They really do rub it in @stillgosherlocked. The amplitude rises when Janine turns the morphine down or when Sherlock moves. And then suddenly in this very short scene after the Mary deduction it runs backwards - it’s a blink and you miss it moment. What’s this scene even needed for? The audience knows that Sherlock is in hospital from the Janine scene. It’s barely 5 sec long. And Sherlock just raises his head. He has even turned his morphine down before. And the scene is followed by John and Lestrade finding his empty room… I’d say the scene is unnecessary exept for the heart monitor. For the way we look at pictures (usually from left to right) the monitor would be the first thing we’d notice when watching this scene. Hell…
@isitandwonder: I just had a short look at the episode. Even before the Janine scene we get at least 10 shots of a heart monitor in the operation theatre. I would say such appliances are shown at least 20 times within a few minutes of footage. They could also have arrows pointing at the heart monitors telling us where to look.
I got you, fams. Bad quality gifs ahoy!

But oh, what’s this? Doesn’t that whole footage look a bit… reversed? Why yes. Yes it is.

HE’S NOT COMING OUT OF HIS MIND PALACE. HE’S GOING INTO IT.
@yan-yae I AM SCREAMING!!! I’m sorry but I have to say this is fucking me the fuck up! I went back and watched the Janine scene, and I was like, what? Wait. That monitor is doing it’s normal thing, but then. BUT THEN…he ‘supposedly’ comes BACK from his mind palace confrontation of “Mary Watson, who are you?” and the MONITOR IS RUNNING BACKWARDS!!!!! And, then, @doomsteady, you perfect thing, you! You put the gifs here and JUST LOOK AT THAT. Not ONLY is the monitor running backwards, but this entire little scene is the REVERSE of him going into his mind palace!!!!!!!!!!
What does this mean? Which is it? Forwards or backwards??? I’m with @isitandwonder, WHY IS THIS SCENE EVEN HERE???? I keep going on and on about how odd the whole thing is- why is Janine not the worried almost-fiancee? Where are the standard questions we would expect: How are you? What happened? I’m okay, are you okay???? Instead we get absurd and frankly ridiculous tabloid headlines about Sherlock. AND, not even things like: SHERLOCK HOLMES IS A BACK-STABBING MANIPULATIVE BASTARD. No, oh no! We get all these salacious tales of Sherlock being a fucking amazing lay????? SERIOUSLY??? I mean, Sherlock seems like he’d be an attentive lover, imo. He seems to be a very sensuous person but, ahem. He’s GAY. Right?? That entire scene is so over the top and unreal. But now, this added in to the mix?? I’m flailing!!!!!!

@monikakrasnorada: All this! And every, really everything that comes after is surreal. Lestrade filming a drugged up Sherlock at Irene’s, anytime. Filming a drugged up Sherlock who nearly died, nope. This is just what Sherlock imagines people do (based on past evidence). And this is just the beginning.
What a brilliant development!
Wow. Mind blown. I’m going to have to watch this again when I get the time. Meanwhile, I bow to the Tumblr meta gods.
