Mycroft: *is terrified for his life, haunted by the memory of his psychotic and murderous sister*
Sherlock: GOTCHA!! lol you just got punk’d

• “You just like this dog, don’t you?” “Well I like you” (   ͡°  ͜ʖ   ͡°)
  
• Sherlock being startled (frankly acting scared shitless) when he realised that John wasn’t with him in the room talking to the client. “Don’t be so hard on yourself! You know I value your little contributions!” ~(˘▾˘~)
• Mary dying. Though I did really like Mary as a character and Amanda Abbington was a terrific actor, I feel as though this is the best way to tie up loose ends and propel the story forwards
• Sherlock tweeting. #OhWhatABeautifulMorning 
• “Are those Ginger nuts?! I loooove Ginger nuts!”
  
• “Natural high, I assure you. Totally natural! I’m just glad to be ALIIIIIVEE~”
  
• Sherlock and baby Rosamund with the rattle. “If you want to keep the rattle, do not throw the rattle!” Parentlock (◕‿◕✿) 
• Sherlock prefers a male SIRI voice. God I wonder why he’d prefer a male talking to him?! :^)
• John with the flower in his hair and playing with baby Rosie
• Sherlock not disguising his hatred for a Margaret Thatcher shrine. Of a woman who campaigned against gay rights… (   ͡°  ͜ʖ   ͡°)
• “I love an acronym, all the best secret societies have them!” Mycroft literally acknowledged TJLC! We are so lucky! :D
• When Mary (Rosamund) was undercover, she did amazing acting as the annoying woman on the plane haha
• Sherlock pretending to be clever then admitting that he stuck a tracer in the A.G.R.A Memory stick
• Sherlock talking to Ella. He’s finally coming to terms with his feelings
• Not exactly a good thing but John sounded like he was going Super Saiyan when Mary died. Martin Freeman has acted grief many times and something about this didn’t feel right. We’ll see what happens in the next episodes

So all in all, this episode may have felt OOC and just not right, but it’s all part of the story they’re trying to tell and it’ll all be worth it in the end. Do not fret, my loves! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

recentlyfolded:

The unreality of the whole thing is more obtrusive. There’s a lot of fuzziness about 221B, not to mention glowing Mr. Blue Skull’s alter self. There’s all of the way everyone is emotionally off…as though being envisioned by someone who doesn’t get nuanced emotions. The water bits are obvious. The scene where Sherlock zones on the Thatcher shrine really evokes the point in TAB when the real (modern) world jet landing physically rattled things in the Victorian story. Some of its ridiculous spycraft (honestly? stick drives for your identity that your life and your friends’ lives depend upon?). What’s with John looking like updating his blog when it’s just a picture (and that’s really obvious in the scene)? There are so many lines repeated from earlier eps, so much music (almost all of the music except for what I’m guessing will be Sherrinford’s theme…which has an interesting Downton Abbey feel to it) from earlier eps…it’s almost as though someone is populating a story half from old memories, using them to fill in the blanks where he doesn’t know what really happened. And Sherlock’s ego: really? It all. sounds. wrong.

Either there’s a whole ‘nother story that makes sense of this or they’ve indeed made some very strange and not all that enticing choices. And if it’s still more Sherlock brain hijinks, when will they let us in on it all? The problem with a rug pull is that the audience has to still care about what’s on the floor…and remember it. If they’re going to give us three series and in the last bit ask us to rewrite our understanding of everything since TEH, who exactly will care enough to bother? Maybe some of us fans; certainly not the general audience.

Spouse, who is the most casual of uninvolved watchers, watched with me and said three things: 1) Mary’s not dead; 2) Hell is a place; and 3) something is very off, just like TAB. Out of the mouths of innocents.

riss-as-myself:

And the johnlock community erupts in thunderous applause

-clemb0t-:

GUYS GUYS GUYS. THERES AN ACTUAL PLACE CALLED HELL IN….

WAIT FOR IT…

NORWAY. ONE OF THE PLACES MARY WENT.

dinosunicornsrandomshit:

When Watson text that girl, he cheated on all of us.

earlgreytea68:

SHERLOCK IN THERAPY. BECAUSE SHERLOCK FEELS HE’S FAILED JOHN SO BADLY HE GOES TO THERAPY. THANK YOU, MARY. 

cumbergoddess:

I can’t believe I never noticed how awful John Watson is. I’ve had to sit through people telling me how villainous Mary is for years.  FOR YEARS, while John Watson was praised as some sort of perfect hero. Unreal.

teaandforeshadowing:

Ok like I understand that John “mooing” is a very real and raw form of emotional expression but please consider

When faced with literally any other emotional turmoil in the past, John clams up. His body tightens up, he squeezes his fist, he loses all speech capabilities until he can calm down. 

Sherlock dying…. Sherlock coming back….. thinking he was going to die in the subway……. 

The reason so many people are making fun of this is because even though it may be a reasonable way to show grief, that’s not how John does it at all…this reaction was not normal for John… something is up

zoosemeus:

You know something is weird when the relationship between Sherlock and Mycroft seems to be the healthiest, lightest, most fulfilling relationship in the show

stydiaislove:

“Keep up, he is fast.”

earlgreytea68:

Everything with Lestrade was golden. Like, the whole scene where Sherlock mouths, “What’s his name?” and John mouths back, “Greg,” and then Lestrade is all pleased he got his name right. Love. Love love love. (Then again: note Mary wasn’t in that scene.)

the-7-percent-solution:

Here’s some food for thought – Mary could’ve faked her death and John could be in on it.  Like the Abominable Bride, she was a dead woman walking who needed to make her death count. She faked her death the first time, but died shortly after anyway at the hands of someone she knew. John knew of the Bride’s state before Sherlock did in TAB –  could John be hiding something here? Not that he’s a villain, but that this is all chess and he had to move the only way he knew how? The end of The Six Thatchers mirrors The Reichenbach Fall, except it’s Sherlock going to therapy over John leaving, and John going… on a mission without Sherlock’s knowledge? What a mirror that could be. This whole thing could’ve been planned. Sherlock thinks John is off playing “hide and seek” but really he’s taking down a network. And before he left he had to make Sherlock doubt him. Just like how Sherlock told him “I’m a fake” before jumping. He even left Molly a note to give to Sherlock. 

That’s what people do, don’t they? Leave a note.

earlgreytea68:

MYCROFT IS THE BEST. “Looks very…fully functional.” Also, WHAT IS HIS CREEPY OFFICE? WHAT IS HIS KITCHEN????? I seriously adore Mycroft. Let us all recall he was the first Sherlock character I ever wrote, and he’s still my favorite.
