THE MODERN HOLMES FAMILY PICTURES IN THE GREY CHAMBER

________________________________________________________________

When Sherlock wakes up in the grey chamber in The Final Problem - after he got hit by the dart - he notices that a row of family pictures have been plastered onto the walls around him. 

Below the cut are images of all the fotos from the walls - cut out and enlarged for better viewing. They are sorted the way they appear on the walls. I put them in three blocks - left, right and middle wall. The middle wall is the one Sherlock pushes open and leaves the grey chamber. Here I added some pics from the episode itself for completition.

There is a fourth block at the end for a single picture with a foto collage which doesn’t appear on the walls. At least not in one of the pictures Arwel posted on his blog (here). I tried to find it in the episode but unfortunately that scene is very dark and the fotos most of the time too blury to spot a certain Image.

Lots of pics and very little text under the cut ….  Enjoy :)

@ebaeschnbliah wow what a job! Every time I see these pictures, I feel uncomfortable with the fact that they have shamelessly mixed images of the young actors with the images of the actual actors who played the littles Holmes. Difference evident above all taking into account Mycroft who would have to gain weight and lose weight as a squeezebox if the photos had a real sense. Then the young Moffat is missing. They could have also used his photos at this point. Looking at them then closely it hit the collages, between different siblings, but above all between actors young and young actors. Also between Ben’s young parents and new TFP interpreters. As if there was a double reality for each and the two were roughly merged. A reborn Frankestein.

@raggedyblue, @ebaeschnbliah: This is very interesting, thanks for taking so much trouble, and I agree, this collection has a slightly disturbing quality. They are breaking the fourth wall in an extreme way by mixing these pictures. You truly get the impression that there are two sets of families, the “real” Holmeses and the actors. And the fact that they did this proves that they expected us to take a very close look at these photos. 

And I find it also very peculiar that young Eurus is nowhere to be seen. Because many of these photos were taken at a time when the family was still intact and there is no reason why should not appear in any photo. Except, of course, she does not exist at all. Occam’s razor, anyone?

Also the focus on Sherlocks blue eyes and the dark eyed little Sherlock. Eye colors don’t change. But little Sherlock and Eurus having dark eyes while the adults have light eyes 😐😐😐

wow, so much detail! and almost none of it really visible in the episode to the ordinary viewer. Thanks, @ebaeschnbliah , for giving us such a close look. @raggedyblue & @gosherlocked i agree, the deliberate mixing of the young actors and the actors young (!!) even to the point of blending their faces, especially blending sherlock's and mycroft's faces with each other, wow. What is that about, are they the same person too? @belladonnaxy , I have to wonder at the casting process for the two young actors, how many did they see, how much priority did they place on actual likeness? I know sometimes a show either works hard or gets lucky that way, and sometimes they just put a higher value on getting "the right person". But the choice to do this photo collage that rubs your nose in the differences, hmm!

The complete absence of "euros" clinches it for me that she's definitely not real.
