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.
