the thing about my heart will go on is that it’s just so specific and so meaningful in terms of pop culture. everyone knows this song. everyone knows the sense of loss and desperation and passion associated with this song, even if we’re now laughing at it a bit as a pop culture reference. like tell me y’all didn’t know and/or were someone in the 90s who was deadass obsessed with titantic and this song. it was high emotional stuff! and everywhere else they put “music: upbeat and lively” if they mention the music at all, but no. for this one they chose a specific song. they had a specific image of sherlock in their head playing this song. they wanted you to start with a bit of a laugh, wink wink nudge nudge lol titanic right, but if you really remember the huge phenomenon surrounding the movie and this song and how sherlock would’ve been in his very early twenties and how the forbidden love trope of the whole romance is obviously relatable gay culture, and how it’s literally about how they fall in love almost at first sight when jack saves rose from a suicide attempt and they have this incredibly emotional fast connection of love and sex and passion, breaking down rose’s walls and really showing her happiness as it can be truly experienced, all while rose is engaged to someone else and then ultimately jack sacrifices his own life so that rose can live and marry and grow old and have lots of babies with someone else, it really becomes much less funny and much more. hey. what the fuck.

The Lying Detective – MAGNUSSEN IS DEAD, BUT MARY KILLED HIM, NOT SHERLOCK.
So one thing that’s definitely going on here is that with only one tiny exception in TST, the audience is being gently coerced into forgetting that Mary shot Sherlock in HLV, ready for that giant ass rug pull where we go back to that moment that marked the beginning of Sherlock’s coma-induced morphine dream or whatever the hell it is we’re witnessing. But I don’t think the rug pull will JUST be that Sherlock has been dreaming. I think there will be another surprise.
Right, so onto the second part of my idea. Talk about leaving things to the last minute. As I type this, it’s 8.5 hours until TLD airs.
So if you’ve read the above meta, you’ll know that I think Mary shot Sherlock AND Magnussen in CAM tower that night, then Mary left, leaving John to become a suspect in CAM’s murder, while Sherlock remained in a coma in hospital. Without Sherlock as a witness, John Watson is definitely in danger.
There’s one more thing that could happen to tie this fanciful theory together. It takes us back to the details of Sherlock’s last three seconds of consciousness and the deduction that Molly and Anderson helped talk him through.
I thought it was safe to look at the TRF script but… I was horrendously wrong…
These two paragraphs are, subtext-wise, the worst two paragraphs I’ve ever laid my eyes upon.
A) John was supposed to be shirtless in this scene… wet… wearing, just a towel and the very next thing that happens? B) Sherlock’s mobile (heart) is beeping madly on the table but Sherlock is ignoring it C) John answers it for him though D) It stops at 57
