How BBC Sherlock defines the antithesis of Sherlock Holmes
There are a lot of reasons why you might say that S4 is the antithesis of Sherlock Holmes. You might also say that none of those reasons inspire you to believe that grievous wrong was done just so that it might be righted in the next series.
You might say S4 felt less like an argument and more like a load of nonsense.
But, if we can find the pattern within the apparent nonsense of S4, and if we can decode the argument contained within that pattern, we can:
be far more confident in our assumption that they are following Yorke’s model, with all its implications for symmetry, fractal structure, and most crucially, how S5 will ‘synthesize’ and resolve the previous four, and
be equally confident in our interpretation of what the argument of the show is, because we have identified it on the deepest structural level possible.
In other words: successfully decrypting a code (the show) confirms both the cipher (Yorke’s book) and the message (TJLC).
So. Is the show really making an intelligible argument within this framework? What does the show say are the two opposites? What is the message?
What is the antithesis of Sherlock Holmes? How exactly has everyone been getting it wrong?
when Sherlock says “but you know, he’s a romantic” and in 0.5 seconds his face conveys this fully realized bitterness and regret that he did not get to experience John’s romantic nature in full…. fuuuuuuuuckk kkkk
there I was, hoping and asking that the scripts would be released and emerge some day, and then suddenly they indeed appear. not all of them, but still. thank you, universe, or whoever released them.
Hi my name is Euros Dark’ness Dementia East Wind Holmes and I have pale hair that reaches down to my shoulder and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like John Watson (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to him but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. Today I was wearing a wig, a red coat and a cane. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. I was walking with my prep brother around London and he was being kind to me. I put up my middle finger at him and kidnapped his boyfriend.
