I just picked up the Blu Ray for Season 4 and I was watching some of the extras at the end of disk 2. Specifically, I was watching Mark’s video diary, Final Scenes.
Look at what he is wearing in this video diary!!
(Sorry for the poor quality, my good TV is in the shop.)
That is a grey suit. White stripe. PURPLE TIE. I know it’s hard to tell in these photos, but it’s the purple tie from TAB!! And the same exact suit.
The tie.
The striped pants.
He’s wearing it again here, a few minutes later in the video diary, when he shows us Eurus’s cell.
He also does a lovely Hannibal Lecter impression here. Can you believe this guy??
The thing is, this exact suit and tie combo does not appear anywhere in TFP, or anywhere else in the season. (I looked. Maybe I missed it, if anyone cares to look.)
He’s wearing the suit in the TFP scene in his home, but the tie is different. It’s maroon. (hard to tell by the photo, but check it out yourself if you like.)
So why is he wearing the TAB suit/tie on set for Season 4??
Reasonable explanation or conspiracy?
Did they merely change ties or did they re-shoot some previous scenes where he was wearing that suit and tie?
We’re gonna need an entire building complex to house all the breadcrumbs to The Lost Special. Doesn’t this show know we have jobs and RL concerns to attend to when they planted all these? ^_^
She’s the same actress from ASiB in TFP opening scene. Here she is.
Here we are in ASiB inside the flight of the dead.
Episode 13.
Remember the note on Mycroft’s refrigerator in T6T?
Bro wtf does this mean
row 13 doesn’t exist.
episode 13 doesn’t exist.
They gave it to us but it’s not real!
i haven’t seen the fake episode yet, but could it be that they filmed this plane scene and the one from ASiB at the same time (with the same plane and the same actors)? this would have allowed them to “recycle” some scenes and make a fake episode that doesn’t cost too much..
It’s a new theory floating around but it makes so much sense!!
It’s BRILLIANT.
GROUNDBREAKING.
TELEVISION HISTORY.
WHY DO THIS?!?
WHY DRAW THESE IMPORTANT PARALLELS?!?
“hundreds of casualties but nobody dies” dats us
I mean they killed all of us…but still. Is there more?
I’m trying to hold on to hope.
CAN WE LAND YET?!?!
I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR
Sian Brooke: “The Sherlock scenes in The Prison only took four days to film.”
Sherlock says, ‘Five minutes. It took her just five minutes to do all of this to us’. And then, ‘well, not on my watch’. Now, he means that while he’s in in charge of the situation (to whatever limited extent) he’s not going to let either Mycroft or John die, of course. This has already been said by both the Holmes Brothers in TST.
But, the play on the word, ‘watch’, really struck me and reminded me of Anderson’s version of the fall. At the end of his story, Derren Brown comes and hypnotises John, setting his watch back what looks like five minutes (we cut away near the four minute mark but the hand is still moving).
I thought these two things might be connected or that there might be a reference to TEH and to Anderson’s story. Or a reference to Derren Brown, even.
‘Five minutes: not on my watch’, is what John might say if he knew that Derren Brown hypnotised him; if Anderson’s story were true.
This is interesting to me because a couple of shots in s4 seemed to linger on watches, like we were supposed to notice. There are two that I can think of with John’s watch. Once during the texting scene in his kitchen in TST, and again in the Watson house when John picks up his phone from the bedside table. His watch is sitting there as well.
There was another scene in 221b, I think, with Sherlock’s watch, but I can’t recall which episode right now.
oh yeah! and there’s also that time where a magnifying glass looks like Sherlock’s watch and it’s like O.O ‘what are you trying to tell us here? pay attention to the time? the watch? the what???’
