I thought it would be lovely to draw these characters together:each of them occupies a minor position in the British government %)

This is awesome.

This is everything I want.

Nice profile piece from the Guardian on Martin Freeman, with new quotes from him on filming Sherlock S3.

Read the article here.

I suppose you could say I’m a lapsed Sherlockian

I rather like that term for it, yes.

UGH if only there were a show about Mycroft and Moriarty.

There are times when this thought just strikes me like a lightning bolt and I silently scream.

But I do not think I can convey this the way I see it, almost John le Carre, almost war documentary. And not just Mycroft and Moriarty but the people they are slowly killing. Anthea, Sebastian, the 3rd world revolutionary who knows but does not really know that he is only the money and a plan and a change of power to these two white men, and Moriarty’s mental illness, how he believes himself better than the rest of the world, and Mycroft’s anxiety, his personal struggle to destroy feeling: and what is the point of doing this for country, if that is the reason at all, at least Moriarty does not lie to himself by believing there is any worth to his side, and between them is a catacomb of necessary casualties.

Please, take all my money.

In this sense, Sherlock is an incidental character in his own story. He is Mycroft’s obligation and human outlet, and Moriarty’s curiosity. But those two are the movers and shakers, always; I don’t think even Sherlock has a full appreciation for what his brother can do, or has done, or what he taps into when he engages with Moriarty. Crime doesn’t cover it.

Also, I always meant to respond to this, because Jack you are my mind.

Crime doesn’t cover it.

Sherlock takes so long to figure out the Coventry Conundrum, despite the clues surrounding him for months, and when he does deduce the plot, he does it too late, because I do not think he truly knew the scope of Mycroft. He joked about the job and he thought big, but he never truly knew how big. Because while Sherlock is skipping about London and its surrounding areas solving crimes, Mycroft and Moriarty are battling to come out on top of the bombing of almost 600 people on an international flight.

In a way it all comes back to Sherlock, and so it all comes back to London, in that Sherlock is the ultimate weapon and prize that Moriarty can use against Mycroft, and maybe even that Mycroft can use against Moriarty, but Sherlock is not the story, nor the war. He’s only one battlefield.

REMEMBER HOW SHERLOCK SHOULD BE A SHOW ABOUT MYCROFT AND MORIARTY AND ALL THE DEAD BODIES LEFT BETWEEN THEM.

YES
I
DO

I know you definitely weren’t asking me because I think we’ve agreed that that would be my life-

-and it would be worse than the Cold War. It wouldn’t be like John le Carré at all, if you just - reconfigured Sherlock to be this, Moriarty and Mycroft’s show. It would be brutal and uncomfortable and far less gentleman-spies or even -detectives. Mycroft would visit Guantanamo. And the next day he would be back in London, a long flight; he would be a bit irritable over tea with Sherlock, checking up out of habit because these little neat things are his source of humanity, and Sherlock would snipe at him over something trivial - a wrinkle in his suit, a missing button - and he would pause to look without saying anything back, for once, and Sherlock would feel vaguely uncomfortable and put out (as would the audience of this theoretical show, and that I think would be a Good Thing).

Also can we talk about how no one in fandom or the show itself ever really fucking contemplates that Jim Moriarty is held without trial and tortured by the British government (I thought the BBC were more thoughtful than that - they have been more thoughtful about that, in that they have been practical but also provocative in discussions of torture and ethics in shows like Spooks, but that is more the writers’ doing). If you’re going to at least imply the world over Sherlock’s head, jfc do something decent and not alarmingly complacent with it BUT I THINK THAT IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

Apologies for the rubbish photo, I will take better ones later. I just wanted to show people cause I am excited. This is my first blend, ‘Blood and Semtex’ inspired by the Sherlock character ‘Jim Moriarty’. It contains: Black tea, Lapsang Souchong, orange peel, ginger pieces, cinnamon pieces, cardamom seeds and vanilla pieces.

Mags you don’t understand how much I want to try this right now.

So I just downloaded Sony Vegas 11, and I’ve been itching to make a video with it. Looking at the notes of my Sherlock poster, so many people (along with myself) have been commenting and wishing that 221b Baker Towers was real, so, I’ve decided to try my hand at a little imaginary tv trailer. My gift to you all, to say thank you for the wonderful feedback. Enjoy!

Part II of Sherlock: 221b Baker Towers Posters (x) → Jim Moriarty + Seb Moran

“Jim? Raaah, Jim’s a psycho. Nobody fucks wit him, ya get me? He’s got mad connections. All the rudeboys and criminal scum go to him. He’s like a psycho for hire. He’s got only one mate named Seb, and I swear he’s just as mad. He does all of Jim’s dirty work.”

Based on sophistory’s 221b Baker Towers idea, I saw all the headcasted Lestrades and Mollys, but no Moriarty. And so I headcasted Adam Deacon as Jim, the Napoleon of Crime. No one ever gets to him, and no one ever will…

(Part I: Sherlock) (Part III: Mycroft)

I would watch the fuck out of this. Mate. Can you imagine? A Sherlock just fresh out of the London riots, maybe, amidst confusion and rubble and Jim stirring up trouble in the Tottenham ruins. I’d bite.
