#18493

i happened to have @possiblyimbiassed 's excellent meta open in a tab (https://possiblyimbiassed.tumblr.com/post/167502076748/what-happened-to-sherlock-the-game-is-on) and noticed in the "blog jpeg" that the counter, formerly and famously stuck at "1895", is now showing "18493". OK, the 4 may have been dropped in to signify s4, but why 1893?

A very cursory search on "sherlock holmes 1893" shows me that FINA (the final problem) was published in the strand that year, as well as CROO, GREE, RESI, and NAVA. Having recently read all of those with the @astudyincanon book club, each of those stories mirrors or highlights some aspect of the central relationship. A love triangle, self sacrifice, betrayal by a close family member or crony.

I'm guessing the FINA connection is the most important, maybe another indication that "reichenbaching the show" is part of the plan?

Tagging some of the usual suspects, hope that's ok.
