Going off Tumblr until I see Infinity War tomorrow. I will remain spoiler free for a week or so after (besides one gush post w/o and details), but I will let you know when for sure.
If you meta the show, whether you end up writing a meta or not, chances are you will be left with questions nagging at the back of your mind, waiting to be answered.
Bond, Hannibal, and Holmes answered a few of mine.
One of my favourite bits has got to be “BBC Sherlock functions as a metacommentary on all Sherlock Holmes stories.”
With Markmoff quotes like ‘everyone’s been getting it wrong’ or ‘we are more curators than creators’, this has been on my mind for ages. A lot of the efforts they go to in the show make absolutely no sense if they are just trying to tell a version of the Sherlock Holmes stories where Sherlock is gay. But they went to all the effort. Why? Well,
“In Sherlockian terms, you’re eliminating the impossible on your way to ultimately arrive at the truth.”
What better way to tell the whole world that all perceptions and understandings of Holmes has been wrong, than to prove it yourself? (Incidentally that’s what happened in the opening moments of ASiP)
Some side notes:
oh, i want to read your next meta too!
“I bet you get bored, don’t you? I know you do. Man like you. So clever. But what’s the point of being clever if you can’t prove it. Still the addict. But this, this is what you’re really addicted to. You’d do anything—anything at all to stop being bored.”

After watching the last episode of Season 4 for the hundredth time now, this is what happened. I hope you like it (:
