I am honestly laughing so hard right now thinking about the utterly ridiculous events that unfolded at Sherlock’s family’s house at the end of The Final Problem. Like I cannot stop laughing just imagining some cartoon cronies hammering that 10 x 10 room together in the front yard and stapling pictures to the walls for dramatic effect while Sherlock just lies like a dead-ass tuna in the middle of it. You know those minions were watching from the bushes with binoculars like, “Damn good touch with the dog bowl, Stanley.” That entire scene was so ludicrously implausible that I cannot stop laughing at the absurdity of it all. Like did Euros shout commands at a team of stage hands with a megaphone to set that all up before she had her level ten psychotic break? Did they all zip-line from the walls of Sherrinford and barrel-roll right into the front yard with the stage props in their hands? How did they transport two grown-ass male bodies to the yard in that amount of time? Is Euros a licensed pilot as well as a criminal mastermind and movie director? Where were all of the cronies that helped her set it all up? Were they all posted up in Mr. and Mrs. Holmes’ bedroom watching The Great British Bake Off while Sherlock ran screaming through the yard? Did anyone think to go back for John’s feet in the well? The whole thing is such a fever-fuck, I’m wasted.
I get that Moriarty and Irene Adler are fascinating characters given so little canon (both appear in only one story) so it makes sense that remakes always want to throw them together but listen. Listen. Irene Adler beat Sherlock Holmes. And Sherlock Holmes beat James Moriarty. Therefore, Irene Adler should be able to beat James Moriarty. So why is she always working for him?
The worst special effects in TV go to: BBC Sherlock The Final Problem
boop
Martin’s face in that scene cracks me up every time. Like he knows it’s ridiculous and dumb.
Like… the scene in TEH where the Parliament explodes looks more convincing than this stupid scene.
….why are their clothes not on fire?
Can we please appreciate the fact that neither broken glass pieces, nor the blast wave, nor fire, nor falling on the concrete with their legs extended forward have done ANY damage to them? John and Sherlock are invincible, thanks
sometimes I remember just how cinematographically gorgeous the six thatchers and the lying detective were then I remember how the final problem was filmed in a spray painted cardboard box held together with duct tape with a spare camcorder found in someone’s basement then stored on a usb taped to a few dollar bills and left out on a table with a sign in neon lights blinking out the words “Russia whatever you do don’t take and leak this cinematic masterpiece moff thinks is better than asib owo” and I laugh hysterically and then I black out
d’ya ever think about why they bothered to name sian’s character “elizabeth” in the credits of tst and tld? this is a show with a long history of characters with credit names like “blind lady” and “beautiful woman” and “creepy guy,” but no they credited her as “elizabeth.” and it’s not like just calling her “e” would’ve tipped us off about the “eurus” connection since they’d already given the whole thing away by the time we first heard the name “eurus” and also the bus lady just signed her name as “e” and more people saw that than bothered to read the credits so if we were all that clever they already gave us the hint anyway.
yeah it’s not like i still think about that either, that was a year ago hahahha ha hah ha h
anyway one of the many hilarious things in the D-notice scene is
a) if mycroft is using a projecter to play back the magnussen footage then it should only be displaying on the projector screen and not also on at least 3 tv monitors in the room
b) if they have the digital footage to play on the tv monitors then they shouldn’t need to be going through the trouble of using a projector to play it at all
