the-7-percent-solution:

Do you remember this case? They mentioned it in A Scandal in Belgravia.  You can find it on John’s blog here. I’ve written many metas on this before, and everything was pointing to elements of “The Geek Interpreter” being played out on screen. I assumed it would be in “The Lying Detective”, since that’s the trippiest and “The Geek Interpreter” looks like the main character is hallucinating, but no.  It wasn’t in that episode. So where is it? Why can’t we find it?

We can’t see it because we’re in it.

For a little context, The Geek Interpreter is about Chris, who has a website that studies the true meaning of comic books.  However, Chris started noticing the comic books were coming true – they were coming to life. He was right, by the way, even though literally no one believed him. But we’ll get to that part in a second.

Chris almost went insane.  The only person he thought he could count on was KEMP, a person he only knew through social media.  KEMP was represented by a smiley face promo picture. 

Sound familiar?

Two weeks ago I wrote a meta about how “The Six Thatchers” being played out on screen meant John’s blog was coming to life.  It made complete sense, seeing as how “The Six Thatchers” was a case John wrote about 5 years ago and the plot lines were very similar. This made me think of The Geek Interpreter, because I was acting just like Chris.  He claimed the stories were coming to life. And I claimed that too. Instead of comic books, I was focused on John’s blog posts.  And if they were coming to life, then “The Elephant in the Room” as well as “Happily Ever After” would be, too. Hell, if The Six Thatchers can do it, why can’t the rest of them? It made sense.  It still does.

I wrote about this online. We all did.  Just like Chris blogged on his website.  One of my metas was posted in USA Today, proving the world did care about what fans had to say about Sherlock – this mirrors Chris posting online and comic books suddenly getting more attention from other readers. This mirrors perfectly.

And you know what? It was all a trick by the creators of the comic books. They were in on the downhill mental spiral this person took because he believed what he saw was real when everyone in the world was telling him it was a lie.  That he was crazy.  The creators were in on it.  But Chris was right in the end.

John Watson said this about it:

“They’d been using Chris as a form of advertising. It would have been almost funny had it not been for the effect it had had on his mind. To make money, they’d risked sending this kid insane.”

So there you have it.  Chris had a website devoted to decoding comic books. The creators started bringing the books to life without telling anyone. They made him feel isolated, crazy, and desperate because it helped with the marketing. But the books were coming to life. They admitted it and showed their hand after all hope was lost. Chris was right. He had been right from the beginning. The trick they played was cruel but there’s nothing he can do about it. 

We have blogs devoted to decoding Sherlock. The creators started bringing the blog posts to life (The Six Thatchers). They did not admit to it, nor follow through the way they started. This made us feel isolated, crazy, and desperate.  This didn’t matter because in the end it helped with the marketing. But the blog posts were coming to life.  They will show their hand after all hope is lost. We are right.  We have been right from the beginning.  The trick they played was cruel but there’s nothing we can do about it.

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE GIVEN UP ON MOFFTISS AND DO NOT WANT TO HAVE YOUR HOPES CRUSHED AGAIN, AS THIS MIGHT BE UTTER BULLSHIT, but:

I just re-watched tfp to overanalyse the utter shit this episode was and found something that made me a little suspicious:

This shot is one of the cameras in Eurus cell. It is one of the recorded videos that show her manipulating the prison warden, and it reads 18992201.Of couse they could be random numbers, but I thought hey, why not strip them down. The first idea was a date, 22.01.1899, but I couldn´t really find anything.

But what if we seperate them? There have been numerous rumours that we might get a fourth episode next sunday and someone even found out that yahoo has a fourth episode listed.

The date for that episode is the 22.01.

Now we´ve still got 1899 left. A little google search on Arhtur Conan Doyle was done and I found THIS:

Conan Doyle wrote a PLAY in 1899 THAT DREW MATERIAL FROM SCANDAL IN BELGRAVIA, THE FINAL PROBLEM AND A STUDY IN PINK.

Now, lets see what we got this episode:

Honor Kneafsey

the girl who not only played the girl on the plane, but also one of the sisters at the beginning in A Scandal in Belgravia. (Plus: everyone on the plane in tfp was “asleep”, just like the dead people in asib)

A Study in Pink

basically the whole ending of this episode was asip flashbacks. We´ve got shock blankets, 221b, even the flippin text Sherlock send (You know where to find me. SH) is the exact same text he send to Lestrade in the beginning of asip. Everything is back to the beginning.

There is so much more to this, but I really want to believe I´m on the right track here. They promised us a rug pull, but they had to give us a rug first. This is it.

The reason TFP was so bad was because it wasn´t the original story. It´s a PLAY. In fact, this is THE PLAY where one of Conan Doyles famous quotes regarding his characters comes from:

Doyle later recounted how he had received a cable from Gillette
inquiring, “May I marry Holmes?”, to which Conan Doyle replied, “You may
marry him, murder him, or do anything you like to him.

THAT IS WHAT THEY DID. They redid 1899 and made us believe we we´re watching the original story. But it´s not, and we will have to wait to the 22.01 to find out what really happened.

(sorry if this was rambly. I am neither a good writer nor is my english good enough to put all my thoughts into words. but my key message is: if you are still willing to hope, please do!)

I am not willing to hope again but I’m reblogging this for everyone who needs this rn (though you might regret hoping when it doesn’t happen and I’m not gonna watch it anyway)
