To supplement this post I’ve subtitled the end of The Sign of Three with the lyrics to “December 1963” rather than the dialogue. I really only scratched the surface in that post. Take a look for yourself!
thi s is, physically painful to me
I’ve seen people talk about how the delayed action stabbings are a metaphor for Sherlock realizing he’s in love when its too late, but can we talk about what happens in those cases? Both times, the person is stabbed and nearly dies from it, but before they can John Watson swoops in to save them from bleeding out.
He’ll do the same for Sherlock too.
Time of our Lives by Tyrone Wells messed me up pretty good after The Sign of Three aired.
TSoT + sad love song = ultimate pain
I was online chatting with merindab immediately after that episode first aired and she linked me to I Wish You Love by Nat King Cole and I just broke down. It’s the only time a TV show has made me cry. It still gives me the sads.
I forgot I did that. But yeah. Paiiiin.
Doing the drunk stuff was lovely, says Freeman, ‘but I regret there was one bit of that drunk stuff that was missing. There was the gay club scene. We were absolutely mullered in the gay club – lots of topless men going past, and us just going ‘Why are we here?’
Cumberbatch chimed in, stating how Sherlock felt about the situation: ‘I had no idea as to why they didn’t have their clothes on, and then it dawned and my grounding shook.’
