Pastel Torment

The parallels between these shots/scenes is making me insane

The vertical position of the shot, despite it being the act of pinned down. But one is "upside down" and the other "rightside up" of:

Grace. Pinned down. Unable to move. Unable to save himself. Becoming unconcious. Ultimatley a death sentence in both cases.

In one case surrounded by people (friends) who Could help. Could step in to say "hey this isnt right", but won't.

In the other, one other person (an alien, but also a friend) is with him, but he is trapped behind a barrier, unable to help.

Except.

Except! He does!! He breaks through the barrier!! At a great danger to himself, almost fatal in fact, to help Grace!! Because he can not stand by and watch a friend die again, not if there is even a single thing he can do to help!

The guards/soldiers dragging an unconscious Grace off to his doom.

Rocky dragging an unconscious Grace to safety and medical care.

Just.... Grace:

Actively trapped and Doomed by passive inaction.

Vs

Mycroft "my little brother is unbearable" Holmes and his protective nature towards Sherlock.

“Are you crying?”

“No”

“Why not?”

Young Sherlock S01E07

“Please, save my son”

Young Sherlock S01E07

“Please, save my son”

Young Sherlock S01E07

Young Sherlock S01E06

“No! Don’t!!”

Sherlock gets shot from Shuan

leon spitting (impressively far, mind you, boy's got talent) and in turn getting backhanded so hard, he's stunned for the moment it takes our baddie to cram a rag into his mouth.

please consider a scenario like this. its so possible, isnt it?
