THE BIG QUESTION
________________________________________________________________
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF REICHENBACH
Some time ago I wrote about the three solutions presented in The Empty Hearse (Solutions or Choices) and about the possibility that those three explanations for the ‘fall’ represent actually three different choices for Sherlock to solve his problem. Let me phrase my former statement again:
Sherlock dismisses LOVE/Molly and SEX/Jim as fake and decides instead to team up with BRAIN/Mycroft.
But what is the cause for this decision? And if this is some kind of metaphorical equation Sherlock is experimenting on, what can be found on the other side of that equation? What exactly happens on Bart’s roof and why? Who is involved?
This is a metaphorical reading of events before, at and after Bart’s roof. It deals with the veiled surface level of the story, as I call it, based on the assumption that everything that is shown on screen, is told and coded by the ‘language of Sherlock’s mind’.
Enjoy (this theory) if you like under the cut ..
HOLY ACTUAL SHIT what an angle to look at reichenbach now!!! i almost want to rewatch the episode! (but might still be a bit too painful…)
well worth re reading, thanks for bringing it back up! Not only john and jim enter sherlock's life at the same time, but also molly and mrs hudson. At least, this is when he moves in to mrs hudson's house, though he met her before.
Hope as a "serial killer", if "murder=falling in love", then hope makes people fall in love.
