I think I can finally put my finger on what makes it so hard for me to let this go…
It is by far not the fact that they didn’t confirm Johnlock. Yes, people have said similar things before, but I need to get this out. It is the episode. It’s not a Sherlock Holmes episode, it’s no even an episode two fanboys of the canon would make when they were on drugs.
It is deliberate trampling on everything that makes the canon what it is. Like, even if they wanted to make a Saw adaptation, which is fine for me, live and let live, why put all the canon reference in there, and furthermore references of some of the most important stories there are. Dancing Men. Musgrave Ritual. Final Problem. Three Garridebs. It’s as if they have a check list and be like, which ones did we want to do but haven’t done yet, oh those, let’s see how we can burn hours of possible material for future (!) episodes by throwing all those allusions in there just because we need something they can talk about while standing in those concrete boxes.
They did not adapt these stories, they just used the names or a scene that doesn’t even last two seconds – for throwaway jokes.
Moftiss burned the heart out of the canon.
And this, in my opinion, is unforgiveable.
Nailed it. Thank you.
Yuuuppppp

The director of TFP did not delete his twitter because of the backlash, here is proof.
Yet more evidence that claims of hateful messages about and/or sent to those involved with making Sherlock are sometimes just made up by people who love to spread ugly stories apparently designed to make themselves appear special.
^exactly
we were ready to belive the ep was fake when it was leaked but tbh i don’t think it’s any less fake because it aired
i think this is something that’s might be tripping people up, the idea that they would waste time and money for something that’s completely fake
while i personally don’t find that hard to believe because well, it didn’t cost that much (clearly) and it was a labor of love — they probably had a great time, especially during the ridiculous bits (read: the entire thing alksjdgslsf)
however, maybe ‘fake’ is the wrong word to use, because i fully expect it’s integrate-able to the canon as mp, emp, or even the recurring nightmare and, in such a case, it’s fake in the same way tab is – a one off that diverges from the regular format and in which every line is a meta reference to the show and/or the greater real world narrative that’s playing out right now
jgjdks the dad of the boy who plays young sherlock reblogging a post about how tfp was bad but kid sherlock is great is the most Dad thing i’ve ever seen lmao
Apologies but that wasn’t the reason I posted it, it was the fact that a nice comment was made about my son in the post. I’m just a proud dad I’m afraid, sorry lol
your son was an adorable sherlock, and i understand fully!
post tfp moodboard
why, again, did they need to commandeer a boat and do all the disguise things if Mycroft is the actual government with access to helicopters and SWAT teams
Option 1: Eurus wanted to kill them in 221b. It was the only way to get into Sherrinford without Eurus knowing. (It makes no sense, bc she obviously knew they were gonna survive and come to Sherrinford). I guess.
Option 2: The entire Holmes family is Extra. John likes using his gun. They probably all came up with the idea.
‘sherlock holmes is a great man, and i think one day, if we’re very very lucky, he might even be a good one’
‘you were the best, and the wisest man that i have ever known’
‘john i am a ridiculous man, redeemed only by the warmth and constancy of your friendship’
‘if i didn’t understand i was being asked to be best man, it is because i never expected to be anyone’s best friend’
[basically the entire best man speech]
‘i wish you weren’t…. whatever it is you are’
‘i know what kind of man you are’
‘what made you like this’
‘oh, watson. nothing made me. i made me’
‘it’s not a detective show, it’s a show about a detective’
‘who you really are? it doesn’t matter’
🎶 one of these things is not like the other 🎶
Me, banging pots and pans: *CRITICIZING THE SHOW AND CONDEMNING QUEERBAITING IS NOT THE SAME AS SENDING HATE TO THE WRITERS!WE DESERVE TO BE HEARD! ART IS CREATED TO BE CONSUMED AND THE CONSUMER DICTATES ITS WORTH!!*
so let me get this straight [deep breath]
eurus asked for jim moriarty as a christmas present even though she could have left to meet him at any time by herself
during her five minute conversation, she offered jim the story of redbeard. did jim ever use this story in any way against sherlock in the plot?
during same five minute conversation, jim……………….told eurus sherlock would be willing to kill his brother over [unknown person]? did jim or eurus even know about john at that point? because iirc if you count five years back from the timeline (HLV tarmac scene remained frozen so we pick up in 2014) eurus met jim BEFORE john even was on the radar?
WHY AM I STILL TRYING TO MAKE GRANULAR SENSE OF THESE PLOT POINTS
*flicks lights on and off* welcome to hell welcome to hell
