Were you drunk while watching? Actually, that was not obvious at all, nor was it meant to be. And really Jason, you gotta stop making rather insulting comments like that. Perhaps thats all the rage in your country nowadays, but not in the more civilised parts of the world. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just now, Stefancos said: Actually, that was not obvious at all, nor was it meant to be. Indeed. Else they would have put the "5 years ago" text right at the beginning of this scene. It's clearly meant to mislead you. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Obviously it was supposed to be misdirection. Jason just didnt get it. I'm guessing he was just drunk when he watched. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You guys are nuts. The episode had already told us that Mycroft had let whatsherface talk to Moriarty as a birthday present five years ago, and when that scene began, it was obvious we were getting to see that meeting, as a flashback. I don't think they were trying to misdirect the audience into thinking it was a present day event. The late placement of the "5 years ago" chyron was pretty silly, imo.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Jason, that was exactly what they were inferring! Look at the sequence of events. Sherlock, Mycroft and John go to the island. They learn that Eurus has taken total control of everyone and everything on it. And they are incapacitated. The scene. Moriarty triumphantly arriving on this island by chopper, with pop music playing. And the title card "5 years ago" held back on purpose. It was a red herring you just didnt catch. It doesnt make me or Alvar nuts. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I guess part of why it worked was that I had already half given up on the episode and found them entirely capable of bringing Moriarty back.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So Jason knew Moriarty had visited Eurus even though the episode itself hadn't mentioned it? What was it Jason? The crease on Mycrofts collar? The dirt on the shoes of the Sherrinford director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I guess I just intuited it from watching *shrug* Yea I noticed he played Irene's theme, that was nice - and something I never would have noticed if we didn't rewatch the previous seasons just before this one Now the real question is, why would anyone suffer through that episode twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's been pushed back by Silva to the end of next week. Thankfully the Abominable Bride score is all that we have to wait till then to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Oh I have no problem with any of the score at all Just generally disappointed with a lackluster fourth season after three stellar or at worst very good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
