So @warmth-and-constancy uh….. this is an interesting version of a script to send to the Emmys when 1) that line wasn’t in it and 2) they kept on using “you know what happened to the other one” as an ambiguous line, that may not have referred to a Holmes sibling at all.
so you’re telling me that in 2016 they sent this to the emmys and risked them knowing the “Eurus Holmes sister” plot twist for a year.
*MASSIVE SIDE EYE*
MASSIVELY SIDE-EYEING THIS SHIT TOO
“…in which we could incarcerate Sherlock Holmes in…” isn’t even remotely good grammar, THIS WASN’T PROOFREAD
gjalalfhfjle i caught a “who’s” instead of “whose” earlier, i wasn’t going to be a pedant about it but fjflalakfbgjkelal INTERNS
Yeah, I, uh…I’m not trying to be a pedant here, I’m just saying, um, you know…you know who IS a pedant about grammar…like, a HUGE pedant about grammar…I’ll give you a hint, his initials are “M.G.”
I love how Martin just straight up ignores the scripts. He’s like, “HELL NO, John wouldn’t be grief stricken. He’d be murderously pissed. Any grief would come later.” And so he gave us this.
Martin is an actor this scripts and writers did not deserve. He knew John better than they did.
there’s something fucky the hlv script because i remember long conversations i had with fran and @thealogie post s3 about the script (which fran had access to as a physical copy) and in the scene where sherlock proposes to janine there’s a sentence missing about john’s reaction. it said
John looks like his whole world just fell apart.
so where is it
hahaha UHHHHH
LOVE THIS NON-FINAL VERSION OF THE SCRIPT WITH THE EXPLICITLY ROMANTIC THINGS HELD BACK FROM THE FINAL SHOOTING VERSION, LOVE IT
So, Sherlock was initially imagining getting shot by MULTIPLE MARY’S… she didn’t just cause heartbreak as A BRIDE, he was shot in the heart the first time he saw her having dinner with John. (x)
‘’A proper, manly embrace’’. Best clarify it is a ‘’manly’’ embrace instead of just, I don’t know, a hug? I know, novel concept!
This pisses me off terribly.
But they didn’t hug, tho. How dare.
Ben and Martin couldn’t contain themselves. They were not manly and bromantic enough. It had to be cut.
Stopping by on a very brief break from a very busy life and a country being destroyed from the inside that is all keeping me away from here to say,
Never EVER forget John’s hand after they shake hands and he watches Sherlock walk away.
This is so like the Janine in 221b scene. And so many others besides. Martin’s hands, whether he does it consciously or not, are never not acting. His hands are always telling a story. And that story is either something he is not saying or his emotional state and more often than not: both.
I think perhaps “I love Martin” will be the most appropriate comment to add to every single post I reblog from this moment forward.
