madeinrome:szpok:smoljohnlock:Iconic TFP moments#continuity my dear watsonPlease, just take a moment here, and use your heads, OK? His feet are chained. He has nothing to hold onto, except the bricks in the wall of the well. He can stand on his tiptoes, but that’s the most he can do. You’d think he’s tired of trying not to drown? He doesn’t get pulled up by the rope here, he hoists himself up on it a little bit with his arms, because he can no longer keep his head above the water just by standing in his tiptoes. Let me repeat, his feet are chained to the bottom of the well, not nailed, so it allows him a good 5-10 inches to rise in the water and he can hold onto the rope for a while until help comes. There is no inconsistency here, no plothole, it’s very simple rational thinking. This is how you keep a drowning John Watson alive until his feet can be cut loose. -- source link
