*HERE COMES THE RAMBLING *puts on tinfoil hat**
The dancing men cipher from 1./solveme:
According to wikipedia, "This is one of only two Sherlock Holmes short stories where Holmes' client dies after seeking his help. The other is "The Five Orange Pips", part of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The themes of this story are love, trust and pride."
Now, i seriously encourage you to go to this link and read the synopsis...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_of_the_Dancing_Men
curious thing:
/black is the page that has the comment box...but now when i visit that page, it says the page cannot be found, and instead shows me a search box? i wonder why?
40:
i got nothin...haven't delved into it too much tho...i'll let yall know if i find something...
the picture sizes:
-the picture sizes are listed, but i am not sure why...this IS a wordpress website, so perhaps its part of the formatting??? maybe itās another code? maybe its literally nothing? but i'm not sure so...if anyone has anything on this, please let me know???
the view-source pages:
-if you right-click and then hit "view-source" on any of the pages from thelostspecial.com then scroll down, you'll see this message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You see but you do not observe.
13.9.16
/solveme/
XXX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-this is how youāre originally supposed to find the rest of the pages, because if you go toĀ āthelostspecial.comā itās just the header image thatās on all of the other pages...
-the /solveme/ page is the page with the dancing man cipher...
-the dancing man cipher is also the only page with a different date, as mentioned above...but why is september 13th 2016 meaningful???
the XXX thing:
is tripping me up...
-in the show, everyone signs their texts with their initials...but maybe i've missed something...again, i'll be rewatchinga all of the episodes.
-if y'all know something about "XXX" that i don't...plz let me know <3
-also, why 3 x's? if the signature "xxx" is not significant (idk if its a signature yet), is the number 3 significant? i mean... the message from the cipher IS from the 3rd act tho...perhaps that is significant...
the dates:
-all the dates on all the pictures (except one) are 05/02/2017
-the dancing man cipher is 04/02/2017...but it's the start, the beginning...series 4 just ended...maybe they're hinting at series 5 here? Or the lost specials air date???
-also, being in america, we write our dates mm/dd/yyyy
but because people in other countries write dates dd/mm/yy and we donāt know if this is fan-made or sherlock-made, we know that 05/02 and 04/02 could mean either feb. 5/feb. 4 OR april 2/may 2... HOWEVER we can *deduce* that these dates are written mm/dd/yyyy because of that date in the view-source message, which is "13.9.16". this date is written dd/mm/yyyy (because we all know there are only 12 months) so the dates 05/02/2017 and 04/02/2017 are for feb. 4th and 5th. which is this weekend?!?
-also there's a theory about the scheduling for a new series called Apple Tree Yard (see reddi theoryt: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sherlock/comments/5orufn/clues_about_a_fourth_hidden_sherlock_episode/ ) and the third episode airs on bbc tomorrow (feb. 5) at 9pm supposedly...
13.9.16:
-at first i thought that perhaps this date IS significant, but i canāt think of anything off the top of my head, iāll update if i find something about the air dates of any of the series/episodes or anything pertaining to this dates in the series/episodes later on..
-my second thought was that this website was created on sep 13 2016, and so the creator just used that date since that was the day the website was created, HOWEVER, according to this source:
http://whois.domaintools.com/thelostspecial.comĀ the website was created on 1/31/2017...so that theory is a nope, but also, in the episodeĀ āthe sign of threeā this quote: Ā
Mycroft: What do we say about coincidence?
Sherlock:The universe is rarely so lazy.
sidenote: i just realized that its from the sign of THREE and that episode aired on january FIFTH 2014...itās also the episode the watsons got married in, and itās also where we found out there were THREE watsons...also, sherlock found FIVE women in his mindpalace while searching for the mayfly man...just another thought...maybe iām digging too far into this number stuff??? well...i am wearing my tinfoil hat so...its whatevs i guess lol
the websiteās title:
-the only title we can see on the tab in our web browser for thelostspecial.com isĀ āxxxā...but according toĀ http://whois.domaintools.com/thelostspecial.comĀ the website title isĀ āBy the pricking of my thumbs...ā
-THIS SEEMS EXTRA SIGNIFICANT...
-me: *does a google: āby the pricking of my thumbsā*
google: *does a reply*Ā āBy the pricking of my thumbs,Something wicked this way comes.Open, locks,Whoever knocks.ā -Macbeth Act 4, scene 1
-the picture of mary with her thumbs up on the /marymorstan page has the bull skull horns behind her head...and what do we say about coincidences?
-also agatha christie has book entitedĀ āby the pricking of my thumbsā and if this is the significance rather than the macbeth reference directly (the bookās title is taken from macbeth), then perhaps this whole thing is that s4 was the last series? refering to the wiki page:Ā
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_the_Pricking_of_My_ThumbsĀ we read that there were FOUR books, and if you read the synopsis of each book on the wiki page (theyāre rly short), then there are probably some parallels between that and the sherlock series/episodes.
-also this: āthe novel is dedicated "to the many readers in this and other countries who write to me asking: 'What has happened to Tommy and Tuppence? What are they doing now?'". in this case, tommy and tuppence perhaps parallel sherlock and john, and seeing as how s4 scene ended in the middle of sherlock and john rushing off and in the middle of the case, it could seem applicable...so perhaps this is hinting that we wonāt be getting a s5 since s4 wrapped things up, but that we will probably get to see The Lost Special as an update on john and sherlock (and rosie) and as an encore of sorts...
-also thereās thisĀ āmarpleā thing and iām not entirely sure what it has to do with sherlock? someone explain?
seasons/moriarty train of thought/ramblings:
s1e3: moriarty introduced
s2e1: more moriarty
s2e3: moriarty dead...
s4: DID YOU MISS ME?
IN THE MAIN PICTURE IT SPELLS OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF SHERLOCK'S MOUTH IN BLACK TEXT "DID YOU MISS ME?" also, that red smiley on the chair is from the original image (i think?) let me know if that's also added...
there's also a page called /dymm...
s5 or the lost special:
moriarty back?
-they always stop after 3...he was playing with sherlock in 3 episodes...there were only 3 episodes in each season...
-perhaps season 5 or the lost special will be about moriarty??
-but what about mrs. norbury and the whole shooting mary thing...
-and then there's the murderous mary the elephant (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(elephant) )
-then there's /marymoran and /marymorstan and /mary but NOT /marywatson. why is that when thereās a /johnwatson???
-plus, there's the dancing man cipher from the sir arthur conan doyle story... and if y'all read the wiki for the dancing man cipher then there's some parallels to mary watson, who has a husband. But if mary watson = mary morstan = mary moran, then that means ties with moriarty, and moriarty died, then there's a parallel there too?? there's probably more parallels, lemme know what yall find pls...i'd love to hear more theories...
the ring and the coloringbook:
-see article here:
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-06/does-this-clue-from-the-sherlock-colouring-book-reveal-the-true-identity-of-mary-morstan
-refer to "/marymorstan" SAME PICTURE AS THE ONE IN THE ARTICLE. WTF.
-HI. YES. HELLO. THE WEDDING RING. AND THE LAST PICTURE IS OF THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE EPISODE /[EPISODE TITLE HERE] PAGES (THE GREAT GAME, THE REICHENBACH FALL, HIS LAST VOW, THE FINAL PROBLEM) LIKE THEY HAVE TO DO WITH THE COLORING BOOK AND THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE SWIMMING POOL SCENES AND MORIARTY AND MARY WATSON (AKA MARY MORSTAN AKA MARY MORAN???) AND HOLY SHIT ARE THEY BOTH ALIVE??? I'M SCREAMING. I'M CONFUSED AND ITS 2AM AND IM SCREAMING.
-also "You see but you do not observe." is in the coloring book but also in the view-source page comment:
