#t6t

- Sherlock calling Molly and her not immediately picking it up:

- Tie to this odd scene in T6T where someone is calling John after Mary dies, but the name is too blurred to make out (at least for me)[Sherlock calling him?]

-

Molly answering the phone in TFP and upset Sherlock wants her to say, "I love you". Read Molly as a John mirror for the following exchange:

MOLLY: "Why are you making fun of me?"

MOLLY: "Leave me alone"...[flashbacks to when Molly answers the door with Rosie and says about John, "He said he'd rather have anyone, anyone but you"

MOLLY: "I'm not an experiment"

MOLLY: "Please don't do this, I can't say that to you"

MOLLY: "Not to you. Anyone but you" [flash back to the TLD "anyone" echoing sequence]

SHERLOCK: "Why?"

MOLLY: "It's true, it's always been true"

[I love you]

-

Basically, this parallel would be significant in the theory that S4 is a dream-logic twisted version of events that did actually happen in some form but is narratively disguised with a fuckton of mirrors/ subtext/ symbolism ("painted over to disguise another smell") because it is in John's head.

The "ANYONE" repeating word significance: I can't say I love you, not to you Sherlock, anyone but you, because it's true". AND ALSO why John wants ANYONE but Sherlock to visit him...

In confessing to Sherlock why he's not o.k., John thinks he will push away the one person he loves and cares about ...

For how could such a confession, not?

But what if Sherlock had no idea what John was going through ... until now? And knowing ... he takes his time, gently ... slowly ... to show John that he is listening ... ? And that he's been here waiting ... the whole time ...

It just hit me!

She says "nee-ther" not "nai-ther"

I am not sure if all Brits pronounce it as "nai-ther" (Please correct me if I'm wrong) but I have not heard anyone else say it as "nee-ther" in the show, which is usually how Americans pronounce it. A very specific choice, to make Amanda pronounce it as "nee-ther", I believe her natural accent would make her say "nai-ther". They established here that "her current accent is English" but she "is not". And we know Sherlock missed or chose not to see a lot about her while being conflicted with his own emotions.

Mary - Sir Eustace being projected as her mirror - having spent time in America (hence the "nee-ther"), knowing why she is to be punished, always underestimating and lying to the spouse (Lady Carmichael - John's mirror. Her name "Louisa" meaning a "renowned warrior"), refusing to take Sherlock's help.

The spouse (Lady Carmichael/John) sick of being lied to, tired of being considered a weakling, being taken advantage of, taking Sherlock's help while already having a plan, showing fake concern, playing the innocent card the whole time, killing the spouse (Sir Eustace/Mary) and blaming Sherlock.

One small detail doesn’t quite make sense to me, however. Why engage me to prevent a murder you intended to commit?

The question that comes to my mind is - Was Sherlock in on it?

If yes, John's Alibi theory is very much on the cards. If not then is Sherlock dreaming all of this in his OD'ed EMP while John goes off and kills Mary?

I was rewatching The Six Tatchers and noticed that, from the very beginning, there were subtle messages directed to us via Sherlock.

In this meta I’ll try to show you the most noticeable examples of that, so welcome to my first analysis of Sherlock. 

1.  One of the first lines we have in the episode, “that’s not what happened at all’’.

We are Sherlock and Mycroft and his super secret gang are Mofftiss.

This may be one of the most blatant evidence, as a lot of us have already pointed out in emp theory or john’s tab theory.

Here, Mofftiss the “British Government” is showing us Sherlock fake footage. Sherlock, or rather us, immediately knows that all of that isn’t real, it’s made up. It’s a distorted version of reality.

Despite us Sherlock knowing and saying it’s fake, Mofftiss Mycroft carries on with the lie, telling us that now, it is the only truth.

2.  Mofftiss’ plans

We are Sherlock and Moriarty is Mofftiss (how ironic, huh)

Moriarty Mofftiss filmed the message the series/lost especial before (t)he(y) “died”, dying as of disappearing. Now they are ghosts, lurking in the dark and making our pain prologue more and more, waiting for the perfect moment to announce the fifth season.

Lady Smallwood: You also say you know what he’s going to do next. What does that mean?

We know what Mofftiss are going to do, we know tjlc is the endgame of the series, even though Moffat and Gatiss themselves refuse to explicitly tell us.

Sr. Edwin: Perhaps that’s all there is to it. Perhaps he was just trying to frighten you.

Sherlock: No, no, he would never be that disappointing. He’s planned something, something long term.

They are trying to convince us that that’s all there is to it, that s4 is all we have, and we’ll just have to take it on the chin. But we know that they would never do that, they aren’t that disappointing, they are Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat for God’s sakes! They’d never do that to us, they’d never queerbait. 

They have planned something (johnlock) from the beginning of the series, since the gay pilot. And those plans are still on.
