bond is trying to stop the bomb before it blows and he doesn’t know how so he’s about to pull the wires the bomb specialist shows up and just hits the fucking off switch
and stops it on 0:07 lol
i’m laughing
i’m also upset tho because as we know john and sherlock had a bond night and when they’re in the damned train car in TEH he’s all “there’s always an off switch”
BITCH YOU LEARNED THAT BECAUSE JOHN MADE YOU FUCKING WATCH GOLDFINGER I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS
and also like
you can’t tell me the number sherlock stopped the bomb on wasn’t supposed to have significance
That moment when you’re rewatching The Empty Hearse and hear that the Jubilee line lost the entire seventh car between Westminster and St James Park that nobody but the guy who binge-watches footage noticed, and then realize that there are six episodes after that moment and all these fans who relentlessly binge-watch think something is wrong because the 7th could be missing….
The huge subtextual significance of The Empty Hearse and everything that happens in it is either the most brilliant piece of television or the craziest, most-bizarre coincidence in modern storytelling.
For a little more explanation, realize that the story is about an insider who planted a “bomb” in a missing “carriage” in order to set chaos to the political status quo; a bomb hidden in a cavity, a bomb with four chambers with red and blue veins, a bomb beneath Sumatra Rd, a tube station that was almost completed but couldn’t be open to the public because of the **laws of the time**, a bomb that wasn’t deactivated but simply paused, a threat that no one realized was possible except for that loser who binge watches the footage….
Ouch, Gatiss, that last one stings a little, but we’ll survive
Where did the bullet land? How did Sherlock survive his heart stopping? Did Mary really try to save his life by shooting Sherlock? An analysis of what happened after Mary shot Sherlock, and a discussion about how Sherlock managed to come back…
*This is freaking brilliant*
Somehow this got posted onto my personal blog years ago??? Someone liked it the other day sooooo yeah
the face sherlock makes on the tarmac when he realizes john doesn’t know he’s going to his death
and then him trying to protect john by saying “who knows [where i’ll go next]”
like, that right there was the love confession
oh god
sherlock, you love him so much
just say it
and then john starts making those faces trying not to cry because he won’t know where sherlock is and sherlock makes the joke to save him from crying
because if he starts, sherlock will start, and they’ll both just melt
and instead of confessing his feelings and leaving john with (what he thinks would be) that burden he makes him laugh, so john’s last memory of them is like the first night’s: laughter.
