When they have Jim make so many train references that you actually forget to include the part where he’s just saying “choo choo” over and over for several seconds in your post.


So, uh… As long as we’re here again–fun fact! The thing about Moriarty’s brother being a station master is straight out of canon:

“It shows him to be a very wealthy man. How did he acquire wealth? He is unmarried. His younger brother is a station master in the west of England. His chair is worth seven hundred a year.”

–Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear

Whether Professor Moriarty’s station master brother is the same as his colonel brother, and whether both/all two/three brothers have the same name remains a point of debate.

So, um, Euro’s song includes the line “my steps – 5 by 7″

…57.

Which is not from the original Musgrave ritual which goes:

“ ‘Whose was it?’
“ ‘His who is gone.’
“ ‘Who shall have it?’
“ ‘He who will come.’
“ ‘What was the month?’
“ ‘The sixth from the first.’
“ ‘Where was the sun?’
“ ‘Over the oak.’
“ ‘Where was the shadow?’
“ ‘Under the elm.’
“ ‘How was it stepped?’
“ ‘North by ten and by ten, east by five and by
five, south by two and by two, west by one and by
one, and so under.’
“ ‘What shall we give for it?’
“ ‘All that is ours.’
“ ‘Why should we give it?’
“ ‘For the sake of the trust.’

Emotional context= the Garridebs “tragedy” happening in The Final Problem

Except, it won’t be a tragedy- there’ll be a chance for both John and Sherlock to say “I love you.” Sherlock is on his way.

Well, you’ve already done it. Don’t solve the murder. Save the life. Save John Watson.

At the time I thought Eurus overplayed the etcetera. 4 times, she should have stopped at three!! But theres a fourth. 

And  ‘So many words unsaid’; John at Sherlocks grave, the tarmac, the hug……and all of TFP. It should have been said.
