wssh-watson:milkwagon:johnlockfulfillment:green-violin-bow:deducingbbcsherlock:consultingeastwind:johnlockfulfillment:More on this picture: The game is on/over- Sherlock is no longer playing the game, it needs to end. He’s not looking at the game, but pushing away the pions, he’s taking them down. - Mycroft is focused on the game but has his hands tied, he can’t do anything. He can’t control the players anymore, can’t predict where the game is going, can’t influence it. - John is between the two of them. He’s focused on the game too, he has his own part in it, but keeps his hands off the game board. He has his own plan, one that includes both Sherlock and Mycroft. He’s about to get hurt playing, but he doesn’t mind, he’s focused, determined. THE 4TH WALL IS BROKEN.Sherlock doesn’t simply quit the game. He addresses us directly. It’s his version of events playing out.Or, specifically, how he prefers to tell them. Not the version he *thinks* happened but the version he wants to make public. To cover up…John killing Mary, just as MI-6 created an alibi for Sherlock, T6T is Sherlock’s alibi for John.“just as MI-6 created an alibi for Sherlock, T6T is Sherlock’s alibi for John.”*crying* I love this, I don’t know what’s happening but I love thisTHAT’S IT THOUGH! THAT FIRST SCENE WAS THE KEY! THE DOCTORED FOOTAGE WAS THE KEY! We knew it was, and it IS. It was TST in microcosm – the alibi episode. @riteofashkente because this is your idea tooListen, TST being Sherlock telling a story to give John an alibi explains the fact that we almost don’t see John throughout the episode, not when things go bad. He arrives at the aquarium after Mary gets killed, he’s not here when it happens. @consultingeastwind @deducingbbcsherlock @green-violin-bowJOHN’S ALIBII’m crying oh my god -- source link
