Excuse me but everyone needs to watch this immediately. Here’s why:
Beaker also hallucinates? The flower wallpaper moves and sings????
Please someone explain this to me, it’s so clearly a pininglock homage.
Muppetlock is real y’all.
Also since when are muppets about complex emotional dynamics like “filling the void” left by your special person.
What is the precise relationship between the muppet creators and mofftiss.
What is reality. What is s4.
AND FURTHERMORE
the video is about Beaker trying to cure his insomnia (with unnecessary Balloon Bunsen interlude), not about him “filling the void” wtf is with your description, official muppets channel? Since when are you into subtextual pining, you felt covered bastards?
Not to mention that the reason he can’t sleep is , “to counteract all that coffee he drank.” OMG PLEASE let’s counteract all that coffee TFP/TLD drank and yes, it IS A KIND OF CODE! Arghhhhh!!!!!
And find the link to the pilot script. If you have an Amazon account, do me a favor, log in, and rate it. From what I understand, higher ratings could = more visibility on the Amazon studio site and potentially a higher chance of Amazon studios picking it up!
I would really really appreciate it! Thank you all!
Part of me wonders if we were the only people watching this show
us: on a plane, screaming, high above everyone else with the perfect metaphor, no idea how to land, no one else is awake, HOW COME NO ONE ELSE IS AWAKE???!?! CAN’T YOU SEE SOMETHING’S WRONG? THE PLANE IS CRASHING?
mofftiss: [maniacally] WELCOME… TO THE FINAL PROBLEM!
Sherlock S5E1: someone’s been playing a very long game. we’ve been dropping hints that John’s mentally ill super-intelligent evil bisexual great grand-uncle Belthazor has escaped from a high-security facility in Nevada after secretly taking over the institution and turning it into a meth lab while also infiltrating Dunkin Donuts to use it as a money laundering scheme. his daughter Grief has shown up disguised as Soo Lin Yao in the episode The Blind Banker. John’s walking cane is actually Belthazor’s that he gave him as a parting gift when he was institutionalized by MI6 agent Harry Watson who was 4 at the time. You were told but you didn’t listen. Tune in to witness our heroes get trapped in a house on Elm Street as Belthazor chases them through their dreams. He has knife hands btw. this might be our best episode so far.
So there are long posts flying around tumblr compiling questions about plot holes in TFP. Lots of them circle around Eurus: how did she control all the video clips, set up the Garridebs, get across to the mainland and put John in a well, escape her cell and then come back…? On and on.
You can answer these questions if you accept the character as described: She can control anyone by talking to them, so she had tons of people at her bidding, lots of little Eurus minions scuttling around like Oompa-Loompas setting up special tricks and games on her behalf. All plot hole / continuity questions that begin “How did Eurus…” can be answered by saying “She controlled lots of of people, because she can.”
The bigger question, though, is: Why did anyone think it was a good idea to write a character like this?
And what did they do to the rules of the Sherlock universe by creating Eurus?
Well said!!! Mark said they weren’t giving us warm paste, but a villain like that really feels like lazy writing.
yes the betrayal of the Sherlock universe is one of the biggest issues with TFP for me– they break the rules of decent writing both with their magical mcguffin of a character but also by introducing as the solution to everything something which no one could possibly have deduced and offering no explication or exposition for any of the things that happen. The fun of Sherlock doing fantastical things is, canonically, the part where he explains them and they are revealed to be simple logic. Showing us bleeding portraits with no explanation, or magical hypnotist super geniuses whose actions are illogical and don’t add up is just boring- because when there are no rules nothing is fantastic or impressive.
Everything here, and also last comment
when there are no rules nothing is fantastic or impressive
which, together with aesthetic objections, is why I don’t watch zany kids’ cartoons anymore.
I have gotten tons of messages about my Sherlock Pride photo. First off, thank you so much. It really has lifted my spirits during this very sad time. I want to touch on things I keep getting asked about:
You have my permission to share it. Of course I would like credit, but I know that credit can’t be squeezed in everywhere. Getting the photo/message out there is more important to me than credit. If you’re not making money off of it, have at it. Spread the love.
It is in fact a photo I made from scratch, not a manipulation! I am flattered that people think it’s a manip though (lowkey wanted to fool some people into thinking it was an official photo). I obviously wanted to replicate the promo pictures that were released at the end of December.
I focused on shooting Sherlock first, then getting the flag. Being Sherlock was a ball, per usual. It’s hard not to feel like a superhero swooshing the coat around like that. The flag SUCKED SO MUCH DICK. You can see a fraction of the struggle in the gif. I hope it looked silky and effortless in the photo, but in reality it was chunky and cumbersome and wouldn’t cooperate with me at all. It took me HOURS to get one good shot of the flag. Thankfully, the winning shot turned out better than I imagined. I love how it slightly wraps around the back a little. UGH, so worth it. I did a few wardrobe variations with a scarf and different button ups, but decided to keep it simple. The concrete wall I edited in is the shitty view from my NYC apartment lmao. The only thing that was created in photoshop was the wallpaper and smiley.
I shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 28-70mm L lens and my Profoto D1 Air lights. Shooting took about 6 hours from set up to breakdown of the lights and equipment. It was a rough shoot… Like I said capturing a fluttering flag or coat is all about being patient and taking a million shots until you get a good one. In addition to that, I was shooting in my apartment and my building controls the heat. These old timey radiators blast all winter. So: radiator from hell, plus a button up, plus a heavy knee length Sherlock jacket, plus swinging around like a maniac for hours and you have one unhappy, overheated Iris. But let me tell you, when I get fixated on an idea literally nothing can stop me.
If you have any more questions send them my way! I have read every single message and comment. I try to look at all the tags and follow everyone back but it can be hard to keep up. I love you all!
