Frrrr, even nowadays I've been seeing posts shitting on the entire show and I'm like no??? Most of the haters seem to be the ones who are saying how innacurate it was to the original stories, which, sure, but take a look at ANY book-to-screen adaptation and you'll get a lot of the same.

S4 is a minor exception to my grace, but that season as a whole was simply poorly written, out of character, and didn't comply with the precedent and development that the rest of the series laid out. (See: episode one where Mycroft points out that John picks his allies quickly, and is loyal to a fault. He would nEVER cheat on a partner and I'm still upset about that >:[.) That's not a slight on the rest of the show, that was just...poor writing on that last bit.

And sure, maybe my opinions are less viable because I only got into all of this around a year or so ago, but I adore the series, and i still watch it over again when I need background noise or just want to chill. Sherlock is what got me interested in ALL of the other adaptations and everything else, and I now own several copies of the books, and am working my way through annotating the stories myself. It was a wonderful catalyst to a fascinating obsession, and I find myself struggling to place any disdain toward the thing that started it all.

And one more thing before I need to hop on Zoom lol; I saw people like, "Stop with the copium! The DW finale isn't bad on purpose! It's just like Sherlock, it was just bad!" And it looks like me and about 100 other people on the internet will die on the hill of "we'll never know Sherlock's true intended ending because Moffat and Gatiss always said they wanted to make a s5 since the moment s4 ended" lol. But I agree that 2/3 of s4 is just bad on its own and that I really, really think they miscalculated, and it's a lesson in why writers shouldn't assume they'll get a chance to explain themselves in a future season. All these years later, and it still bums me out

Some of the more fascinating moments in Sherlock & Co. happen when John isn't leading the conversation. Whether he leaves the mic behind, gives it to someone else, or even just accidentally left it running in his pocket.

Most recently and notably, the end of the Milverton case.

The mic was left back at the scene, and the boys themselves were unaware of what truly happened until they listened back to the audio.

In the original story of The Final Problem, Watson didn't see what happened. He was called back to town on a (false) medical emergency. He never knew what occurred firsthand. He saw two sets of muddy footprints leading to the edge of the falls, and none returning. He saw a handwritten note from Holmes, an apology in some measure, and a last goodbye.

He was left to assume what happened, and speculation was his only source of closure.

We've all talked about what the Fall might look like for our podcast boys, but I really think that the most interesting version would go something like this:

John has to go away right before the final confrontation, leaving Sherlock to face Moriarty alone. But, being the podcast man that he is, he insists that Sherlock take the mic with him, to capture all the details of this climactic scene.

John comes to the falls to find the mic, still recording, placed neatly in a safe spot, and Sherlock's jacket folded beneath it. Sherlock is nowhere to be seen.

John looks for him all day and even into the night, only to return to the hotel, alone, anxious and worried for his friend.

He decides to check the audio, because maybe it'll give him some clue as to where Sherlock mightve gone.

He hears him hike to the waterfall, the cliff's edge where he found the mic. He hears the rushing of water, and sherlocks voice, speaking coldly to the man they've been after for months.

During this final confrontation we hear the ultimatum that Sherlock is left with, and we hear James Moriarty plummet to his inevitable demise.

We hear Sherlock panic. A true, frightened, unmasked terror that he never allows his friends to see. The man who is usually so quiet, so composed, breaks down in tears and heaving gasps.

After some silence, he composes himself, and pulls the mic out of his pocket. He takes off his jacket and sets it down.

He speaks slowly, his voice soft and wavering.

He thanks Watson and Mariana for the time they've spent together. He talks about how they helped him, how they made him a better person than he was before. They showed him a companionship that he could have only dreamed of. (And sure, it's wishful thinking, but perhaps a declaration of love for his dearest friend)

He thanks them profusely, then apologises. Says he's sorry things had to go the way they did. It was the only way he could think of to protect everyone he loved. And hes sorry he can't properly say goodbye.

He sets the mic down, and the only thing we hear is the echo of the rushing waterfall,

Then a distant splash.

Silence until we hear John run up to the cliffs edge only a few moments later, calling Sherlock's name.

John, listening back to the audio, is helpless to do anything but listen, realizing he's just lost his best friend. He's lost another loved one, who he should have been there for. Another loved one that he couldn't save.

I think I've found that my greatest sign of admiration to a work of fiction comes in the form of making an original character for it.

It's simply a pattern that I've noticed, and by looking at it from another perspective it's a fascinating concept.

It creates an instance in which, if I find an adoration for the creativity and worldbuilding that has already been set out, I use that as a template so that I can, in some part, join the world myself.

To me there's something so sacred and intimate about that. I, and anyone else who does so, finds the created world so fascinating, that they wish to belong to it, in one way or another.

Imitation truly is the most sincere form of flattery, is it not?

Holmes and Watson but make it Orpheus and Eurydice.

Defying the laws of life and death to find his way back to Watson's side, no matter the cost.

Dutifully walking forward, knowing without a doubt that Watson's footsteps fall unwaveringly behind his.

An eternal love and unfaltering faith, a story of companionship revered across generations.

Sherlock buddy there had to have been a better alternative to nudity I love you but you can be a little dumb sometimes

Okay so Eccles was def murdered right? For sure, I'm not paranoid

Hehe more jealous john

John's finally starting to forgive himself, and is allowing himself to process his grief :)

The clip of TSoF they played was the bit about "organized crime" and a "criminal mastermind"

Mariana's traumatized :(

"M."

"M"??????????????

That audio fuckery at the end there was most DEFINITELY not accidental I'm sure of it

Moriarty is coming, and soon. Frankly I'm terrified and absolutely nOt prepared for the emotional turmoil that comes with watching my boys suffer :(

Losing my mind over Wisteria Lodge pt1.

Setting aside the main plot and surface mystery, we also got

A meeting with a "professor James"?????

Sherlock GIGGLING???

Sherlock actually called John by his first name!

Jealous John

There is SO MUCH to unpack here and I am absolutely THRILLED

I am also completely terrified for when they do bring Moriarty into the story, as I am far too emotionally attached to my blorbos to be normal about any of this-

He's been referenced twice now, if anyone's counting (shoscombe old place), and it's only a matter of time at this point
