WAIT
Hold up
After the dreaded Morgue scene, John is talking to Lestrade in what looks like a police questioning room.
Tumblr media
AND THEN JOHN SAYS THIS
Tumblr media
SERIOUSLY? How and why is John telling Lestrade "CLASSIFIED BEYOND TOP SECRET" info which has been slapped with a D Notice - 100 years?? To add to that there is someone else in the room too who looks like a local policeman.
Tumblr media
What happened to "Only those within the room code names Antarctica, Langdale, Porlock and Love will ever know the whole truth" Did Mycroft just forget that John was there too? Did they all forget to brief John that this was beyond top secret?!
Tumblr media
Amongst everything that is fucky about S4, what critically hits me is John Watson's absolute disregard for all of Sherlock's sacrifices. Granted, he wasn't privy to a lot of information the audience was but shooting Magnussen was an absolute selfless act by Sherlock and John KNOWS THE WHOLE STORY.
But what does he tell Lestrade?
Tumblr media
Which part of shooting Magnussen was fun John? And for who exactly?
Somehow "But it was fun" doesn't fit the narrative here at all. I always tend to think this is John internalizing his attraction towards Sherlock which was fun until it became this unbearable feeling called Love/Amo.

Hey lovely Steph! I just wanted to ask you if this has been talked about before? In TLD, how is Sherlock visualizing Culverton's exact same meeting on the street? He was never there but yet he manages to picturize it exactly as we saw in the beginning? Same table, chairs, people, clothes, Culverton's dialogue and sound etc. Further provides me proof S4 is not real. A detailed post is on my blog #S4isnotreal
Hey Lovely!
Ahhhh, your guess is as good as mine. Stuff like that is further proof to me that John and Sherlock are making a fake story to help with John’s Alibi. There’s just SO much wrong with S4 that I just can’t accept it as “actually happening”. Regardless of what theory one believes, I think the majority of us agree that it’s either bad, terrible writing or “something fucky”.
Feel free to share your post on this one! <3 (sorry this ask came in awhile ago so I may be missing it :P)

Oh my god.......
Tumblr media
This is so on point though. Unless Moriarty knew Sherlock would fake his death. And what? Moriarty just let Sherlock go ahead and destroy his empire? Makes no sense. S4 is not real.

Basically Sherlock's re-written version
So S4
If Sherlock is the Merchant who can't outrun death
and he hated that story as a child
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He wrote his own version where he goes to a different city
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND becomes a pirate for some reason
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, they've already told us it's not real, haven't they?

Why isn't there a single interview of Mofftiss being asked all the nonsensical stuff in S4? Yes they would just lie or give equally nonsensical answers but how come no one has ever asked these questions to them?
The only one that comes to my mind is Mark going "boop and they're fine" that too in the official BTS videos. Which itself is a good enough answer to let us know how fake that scene is.

Okay remember how Anderson is an audience mirror and he doesn't appear in S4 at all?
Dimmock and Hawkins get screen time but not Anderson (even Donavan).
You could say Anderson did not have any function in the three stories we were told in S4 if we were to take S4 at face value.
Subtextually speaking, Anderson being absent from S4 could mean this is not the story for the audience.
The point to note is that Anderson was present in TAB but then Sherlock was yet to dive in deep waters.

S4 but how?
Do you think Ben and Martin were kept in the dark about what S4 is all about? I mean, come on, when they read the scripts they must've gone "This doesn't make any sense!" and Steven and Mark going "We have a plan but we need you to not know that, we want an unbiased portrayal of John and Sherlock in these situations".
Or is it like Ben and Martin know everything because everything was already laid out in the script, it's just us - the audience, are not supposed to know?
Everyone in the cast and crew knew that after S4 they were not going to make another one soon, like a gap of at least 4 years. That was planned. Mark and Steven had plotted out S4 and S5 at the same time as per this article. Because S4 cannot stand on its own, it needs an S5. Because S4 on its own is like a random nightmare of a person under the influence of drugs.

S4 seems like Sherlock is making up a story for the audience and wants them to think it's from John's POV, aka think like John, but his own persona and feelings are bleeding through.
Now, wouldn't that be a cocktail of filmy yet real, logical yet nonsensical, subtle yet dramatic, romantic yet tragic, hurtful yet tender, pure want yet denial, unconditional love yet unrequited.

Sometimes I think S4 was written and done with the intention of trying to take the show away from John and Sherlock's beautiful relationship. Deliberate or not? I don't know. I can only hope it's intentional.
Up until TAB their chemistry was always there, the flirting, the looks, the lingering touch, two of us against the rest of the world etc.
They wanted to make S4 dark. Sure. But they seem to have deliberately kept bare minimum interaction between Sherlock and John in S4. And they still had their chemistry because Sherlock and John/Benedict and Martin make magic together, even when the show runners don't want them to.
They made John beat up Sherlock, made John look like a depressed arsehole, made Sherlock beg for John's love only to never reconcile anything between them by the end (let's just ignore Eurus and other nonsensical stuff in S4). All this gives me a feeling that they all went into the conference room and said - OK let's work on S4 to make John and Sherlock's relationship hit rock bottom - that's it, that was the goal.
Almost like they want people to get sad and disappointed at S4, because people watch the show for their relationship first and then the detective stories. Like, what did they think? People aren't gonna applaud while John beats Sherlock to a pulp while Sherlock is at his weakest, never even apologising.
Forget about Johnlock, it didn't even do justice to their friendship. I do hope they wanted S4 to be the downward arc in their relationship with a plan to take it back up right where it belongs.

John’s typing
Okay so this has always vexed me....
Lets just put out images of John typing through all of S1-S3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hell, even Martin types this way...
Tumblr media
BUT what do we see in S4 T6T???
This stupid scene :| John’s not putting enough pressure to even get the keyboard to type asfdfgdg
Tumblr media
So we understand from all this that Martin was TOLD not to use John’s style of typing, to not follow his instinctive way of typing and do this tapping action that is alien to John’s character.
I read somewhere recently that in TAB John uses his right hand to take down notes because being left handed was frowned upon in the Victorian times. So the show runners do go into that much level of detailing. 
This is a blatant indication of something being very wrong with S4. Of course, not even talking about the JPG file, the fake blog entry..more here.
This actually supports the blog theory. Remember, how everyone suddenly forgot who John was and assumed that it was Sherlock’s blog in S4? John’s blog was mentioned numerous times in S4 but the actual blog was never updated after the TSo3. The last entry on the blog was updated by Sherlock and we did see him always on his phone in S4 and typing profusely.
All in all this drives me crazy sometimes...Moftiss better get down to business soooonnnn

Skull connection
Soooo back at it again. Has anyone talked about this? Please point me to them, if yes.
We’ve all read about the infamous glowing skull appearing throughout S4 (if you haven’t, do go through @inevitably-johnlocked ‘s metas and this post by @loveinthemindpalace​, they are awesome) 
Re-watching TAB for the umpteenth time, this thing has been on my mind since the past few views. If what I think is true, this is a very subtle but a VERY interesting clue on S4.
So the below is the scene where Mike Stamford is taking John to meet Sherlock for the first time in TAB. The blue circled window belongs to the room Sherlock is in, whipping the corpse. The red circled metal grid door which has blue-ish lighting.
Tumblr media
Mike and John enter Sherlock’s room. But wait, what is that in the corner? I don’t have to circle it. It’s a blue-ish thing besides Mike Stamford and that is probably the only thing standing out and staring at your face in this scene.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let’s see a bit zoomed in
Tumblr media
Below is the S4 skull
Tumblr media
It does look like our S4 skull frame?!  I can’t say for sure of course, but the resemblance is there. The angle in TAB is from sideways and we always see the skull from the front in S4 but I can’t un-see the similarity....especially because we know TAB is mind palace and S4 has been haunting the fandom since it’s release, the touted EMP. 
To top that, Arwel even blatantly(indirectly) almost agreed to it on twitter. [here] [original]
We do not see this blue-ish frame again in TAB, it’s only for that scene when they both walk in to Sherlock.
It even illuminates Sherlock’s face and body later in the conversation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But if you see from this side of the window, there is no blue light coming from the red circled door strong enough to be illuminating Sherlock or his window that much with that face/skull image appearing on it. 
Tumblr media
So in conclusion, the strong blue light was added in the scene when they enter Sherlock’s room and it matches exactly with the skull. 
What do we say about coincidences? I’ll leave you to your deductions.

This was first told to us by Sherlock in TBB
Makes me wonder if this is in tune with the EMP theory. Since it is similar to one of Sherlock's own statements in the show.
