Unaired Pilot 221b vs Normal 221b

The difference is so big! The unaired pilot one looks so uninviting and gloomy and just bleh. But the normal one has a personality to it; it screams “SHERLOCK” and “JOHN”, it’s so much more brighter and happier, I guess. They really did step it up after the pilot, and thank god for that…

Canon Inspectors in BBC Sherlock?

So I was rewatching some jolly unaired pilot (it was painful), and when Sherlock was writing his emails, I came across this:

I wonder if BBC did not expand the production team’s budget, would Athelney Jones and Tobias Gregson be included in the show? if not, why were they mentioned? What was the purpose of showing these emails?

I have a feeling it was more for the viewers who know the canon stories. But we have no way of knowing if they intended to put those characters in at any point and decided against it

Please have a look at this. I actually wanted to make screenshots of the end of ASiP and compare it with the above scene from TFP. And then I realised that the pilot ending is much more similar to TFP than the end of ASiP. Here TFP serves as a mirror to the pilot.

  • In the pilot and in TFP we get Sherlock, John, and Lestrade talking to each other. 
  • In the pilot we get Sherlock wearing the blanket when talking to John. In TFP we get John wearing the blanket when talking to Sherlock. 
  • In the pilot Sherlock is still wearing the blanket when walking away with John. In TFP John is still wearing the blanket when walking away with Sherlock.

So they are going back to the very beginning here, not in an identical fashion but with changes roles. Interesting. And they did not go back to the first official episode but to the unaired pilot. Which, for some unfathomable reason, is affectionately known as the Gay Pilot.

Ahhhhh …. I love this comparison @gosherlocked . The end of TFP is so obviously connected to the PILOT. But with switched roles regarding Sherlock and John (and why did they do a panel for the PILOT last year at SHERLOCKED?)   I wonder what all that might mean. There is still a lot of thinking and digging to do with this show. Brillilant find!

It’s actually quite sad because the besotted looking at each other is clearly missing- for reasons, I assume.
