Have we talked about the significance of 1859? The annotated edition i have (baring-gould) suggests holmes was born in 1854, and watson in 1852. Are there differing schools of thought about this? An 1859 birth date would make holmes just 22 in 1881 when he meets watson, seems a bit young even for a genius to have had time to learn that much chemistry, forensics, etc.
I have to keep making lengthy edits and posts demonstrating very basic things like exact conversations and plot points directly mirroring each other, but the truth is that if any of this stuff had happened on True Detective, Westworld, Mr. Robot or any other predominantly male fanbase approved show that experiments with unreliable narrators and non-linear storytelling it wouldn’t even be necessary at all, since everyone wouldn’t have accepted series 4 as it appears and would be up to speed and have long caught onto the high concept stuff being pulled here, but because it has such a reputation for being such a feminized fanbase ever since the backlash was established in 2012 based in liking and then predicting gay romance we’re delusional for not being stupid enough to think that Mary is actually dead or that John was really shot with a goddamn tranquilizer dart by a fade-to-red smoking gun.
