the thing about my heart will go on is that it’s just so specific and so meaningful in terms of pop culture. everyone knows this song. everyone knows the sense of loss and desperation and passion associated with this song, even if we’re now laughing at it a bit as a pop culture reference. like tell me y’all didn’t know and/or were someone in the 90s who was deadass obsessed with titantic and this song. it was high emotional stuff! and everywhere else they put “music: upbeat and lively” if they mention the music at all, but no. for this one they chose a specific song. they had a specific image of sherlock in their head playing this song. they wanted you to start with a bit of a laugh, wink wink nudge nudge lol titanic right, but if you really remember the huge phenomenon surrounding the movie and this song and how sherlock would’ve been in his very early twenties and how the forbidden love trope of the whole romance is obviously relatable gay culture, and how it’s literally about how they fall in love almost at first sight when jack saves rose from a suicide attempt and they have this incredibly emotional fast connection of love and sex and passion, breaking down rose’s walls and really showing her happiness as it can be truly experienced, all while rose is engaged to someone else and then ultimately jack sacrifices his own life so that rose can live and marry and grow old and have lots of babies with someone else, it really becomes much less funny and much more. hey. what the fuck.
I thought it was safe to look at the TRF script but… I was horrendously wrong…
These two paragraphs are, subtext-wise, the worst two paragraphs I’ve ever laid my eyes upon.
A) John was supposed to be shirtless in this scene… wet… wearing, just a towel and the very next thing that happens? B) Sherlock’s mobile (heart) is beeping madly on the table but Sherlock is ignoring it C) John answers it for him though D) It stops at 57
“You play the violin when you’re thinking. And you sometimes don’t talk for days on end. Would that bother me? I know who you are. And nothing – NOTHING – is ever going to make me believe that you lied to me.”
I have a very strong feeling they aren’t. Since the source seems to be the ‘friend’ of a known fandom drama stirrer.
But if people are having fun with them, then no harm done, I guess. I just found them more depressing than fun. For people who were hurt by S4, they are sort of like salt on a still open wound in some ways. For people who still believe a S5 is coming to explain everything, I think it’s fun, and they seem to see it as further confirmation of the larger plan. To each their own.
I’m logging out for the night, because it’s just not fun to me anymore.
ok, just a note on the authenticity. TBB was published by the BBC (I thinks i’s still accessible through their website). HLV and TLD were nominated for the Emmys, hence the scripts were made public on their website.
The ASiP script was sent to some fans with a special DVD collection ( I think). That’s how we’ve got a lot of snippets.
As far as I can remember, these were the only official releases. But maybe the wanted to stir the fandom up a bit before the con.
Maybe? But the way they were released doesn’t make sense for it to be an official one. As far as leaking goes…no idea.
Guys, if you are seeing some Sherlock scripts, they are all coming from twitter.com/ruther2. I don’t know where he got them from, but he posted some links to pdfs.
