A Memory of Light

This was BEAUTIFUL. Stranger, COME TO MEEEE.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Tumblr, yes or no?
- You: Of course not. -JM
- You: Leave the blogging to the good Doctor, I've got better things to do with my time. -JM
- Stranger: Jim Moriarty. Could you spare me some assistance?
- You: Of course, darling, who's this? -JM
- Stranger: Now you mustn't overreact, I'm a bit frazzled as it is
- Stranger: My name is Sherlock Holmes...but you see...an experiment...must have miscalculated...what I mean to say is, this is not my era.
- You: Sherly darling! Glad to see you survived your fall. -JM
- You: What's this about another era? -JM
- Stranger: Yes well I seem to have stumbled into another dimension entirely.
- Stranger: I keep hearing about this fall
- Stranger: and I keep hearing about you
- Stranger: and while I do remember a Moriarty
- Stranger: and the most dreadful experience regarding a Reichenbach /water/fall
- Stranger: Everything else is rather...muddled
- You: I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. Have you been poisoned again? By someone ELSE? -JM
- You: You're acting rather strange. -JM
- Stranger: I should say so! I'm trapped in the wrong century! These...mobile phones? This new method of communicating via...electronic typewriters of some kind
- Stranger: and my biographer is nowhere to be seen. I am quite lost without my dear Doctor. Have you seen him? Rather dashing man with a bowler and a mustache?
- You: You're what? Are you joking with me, Sherly? -JM
- You: There's no Doctor with a bowler and a mustache. -JM
- You: The only Doctor I know is short, clean-shaven, and wears horrifying sweaters. -JM
- Stranger: Oh no no, that's not my Watson at all. This is all terribly distressing.
- Stranger: In any case, tell your...Sherly, is it?
- Stranger: Tell your Sherly to find me.
- Stranger: I'll need someone with a modicum of imagination to get me back to where I belong.
- You: Ohhh no. 'Fraid I can't do that. -JM
- You: You said something about a Reichenbach waterfall? -JM
- Stranger: Yes well. Back where everything makes some kind of /sense/ I had a bit of an altercation with the most vile criminal mastermind in all of Europe.
- Stranger: The end result was disastrous for him, I of course emerged victorious.
- You: Most vile criminal mastermind? You're not talking about little old me, are you? -JM
- Stranger: While you share his name, you're a bit too...shrill to be confused with the man of my era.
- Stranger: And too pretty, if you'll forgive me for saying so.
- You: I'm flattered, Sherly. Er... Mr. Holmes. -JM
- You: But over here in the 21st century, we both survived the fall. Although, for me, it wasn't really a fall. I went out with a BANG. -JM
- Stranger: Oh really? That sounds monstrously dramatic...
- You: It was. Deliciously so. -JM
- You: But the point is, my Sherly's still off hiding somewhere. So I don't think you'll be meeting him any time soon. -JM
- Stranger: I see. I suppose he and I have a bit in common, then? Hm. I don't suppose I could persuade you to divulge any information pertaining to his whereabouts to me, could I. No. That wouldn't be in a Moriarty's nature.
- You: You know me too well. -JM
- You: His John, on the other hand, is currently at 221B Baker Street, with my dear Seb watching him like a hawk. -JM
- You: I s'pose I wouldn't have to kill the good Doctor if it wasn't *his* Sherlock who visited him. -JM
- Stranger: Always with the mindless violence. Good Lord. Now when you say "Seb," I assume you are referring to some variation of a Moran.
- You: Ooooh, your Jim has a Sebbie too? What's he like? -JM
- Stranger: He is...or rather, he /was/ a viciously sharp shooter with no moral leg to stand on whatsoever.
- Stranger: He was a worthy opponent, though not so much as the man he served.
- You: You didn't! -JM
- You: Tell me you didn't off him. Not my Seb. -JM
- Stranger: If it's any consolation at all, I bested him while he was attempting to pick me off in another most dramatic manner. And he ruined the bust that resembled me so marvelously.
- You: That's my Seb, fighting 'til the end. -JM
- Stranger: Yes yes, the both of you seem to be annoyingly determined regardless of what century it is. Wonderful.
- You: Ha, yeah, that's us. -JM
- You: But wait, you said I'm dead? In your world? -JM
- You: Which is where and when, exactly? -JM
- Stranger: Dead as a doornail, I'm afraid. The year of your demise was 1891. It was 1895 before I somehow managed to get myself lost in this dreadful time period..
- You: 1891?!? Are you serious? What the bloody hell was I doing in 1891?!? -JM
- Stranger: Well you were stirring up an awful lot of trouble, is what you were doing. Who knows how many innocent lives were lost during the time in which you reigned over the criminal vein running through Europe. Even when you /were/ dead I wasn't free from everything you've started.
- You: Ahahaha, wonderful! How brilliant of me! -JM
- You: Sounds just like these days. -JM
- Stranger: Yes well perhaps not just like them. You're body is long disintegrated into the bottom of a waterfall in those days, after all.
- Stranger: This John you spoke of...
- You: Oh... true. -JM
- Stranger: Important to your...Sherly?
- You: Ohh yes. Very important. -JM
- You: You should've seen how he whined and moped and carried on at your grave. -JM
- Stranger: I see.
- Stranger: And. What exactly is it you want with him?
- You: Oh, he's just bait for now. If you... er, my you, y'know, current you... if he shows his face, it's over for poor Johnny boy. -JM
- You: And Lestrade. -JM
- You: And dear old Mrs. Hudson. -JM
- Stranger: I see the time-space continuum does nothing for your own morals.
- Stranger: Hold on.
- Stranger: Lestrade?!
- You: Yeah, what about him? -JM
- Stranger: What on earth would come from harming him?
- You: Oh, YOU'RE nice. -JM
- You: My Sherly happens to like Lestrade. At least... kind of. Well, you know what you're like. -JM
- Stranger: My Lestrade and I have a large amount of respect for each other, even if we have odd ways of showing it, and not often. But yes, I see your point.
- Stranger: How has John been doing without his, er, version of me?
- You: Ohhh Sherlock. He's just torn to pieces, it's sooooo depressing. I'm almost hoping my Sherly will show up so I can have Seb put John out of his misery. -JM
- You: He's got this awful limp, and he's begun to talk to the skull you keep on the fireplace. -JM
- Stranger: ...And you're enjoying this immensely, I see.
- You: Of course. You know what I'm like. -JM
- Stranger: Indeed.
- Stranger: I also have a fairly strong inkling as to your fate.
- You: Oh yeah? Enlighten me then. -JM
- Stranger: Oh now that wouldn't be very fair, now would it, Jim?
- Stranger: Only know this -
- Stranger: If I know what this other me is going through right this very moment
- Stranger: And I believe that I do
- Stranger: Having lived through it myself
- Stranger: I would be
- Stranger: And using ones closest friends as bait is nothing short of a plan that will backfire spectacularly.
- You: ...Interesting. -JM
- Stranger: I believe I should be looking for a way back home, now. My friend would not like to find me gone quite so soon.
- You: So soon? Shame. Oh well. -JM
- You: I'll tell Johnny boy you said hi. -JM
- Stranger: If this John is anything like mine, he's got a Soldier's heart and he's got fight in him.
- Stranger: And his..me..would not let him perish. I've seen your fate, Jim. No solution could be more congenial to me than this.
- Stranger: Farewell.
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Wait, wait, wait. I just realized something.

Some of you probably noticed how the editing in this part of the episode was a little unusual. Jim started to make the “falling” whistle, then they cut to him delivering the “permanent destination” line, then they cut to him making a “splat” sound. But his head movements suggested the landing on the ground part would’ve immediately followed the falling part, with no interruption.

At the time, I just thought it was an interesting editing choice. But if they were (intentionally) tipping us off to the fact that there’s a sequence missing between the falling and landing shots later in the episode, MY MIND IS BLOWN.

Holy Crap Batman!

zeugma: In his recent tweet, Steven Moffat links to an article in the Inependant which states that Moffat, Vertue and Gatiss, the producers of the BBC’s acclaimed Sherlock series, are prepared to take legal action against CBS over Elementary, a rival Holmes series which appears to tread on familiar ground. Apparently, CBS approached them a year ago about remaking their series, and have decided to go ahead and do it without consent…

Sean Connery turned down the role as Gandalf, because he did not understand the story of Lord of the Rings.

That´s what you said in an alternate universe, John! Because referring to someone as a “colleague” who introduced one as a “friend” is really mean! You only said that because you didn´t want that stupid guy in the suit think you´re a freak like Sherlock. But, John, listen, we both know you already think of Sherlock as a friend and you should have had the guts to say “friend”. But do you know what you really should have said? Boyfriend! Cause that would have been the perfect way to slap that stupid guy in the suit right in his ugly grinning face!!
