Sherlock and Doctor Who: Moffat, STOP IT

[redknightalex]

Moffat says We're Doing it Wrong.

...or something to that effect.

Don't you remember all of the interview and tweets Moffat would put out saying that we had no fucking clue as to what was really going on with the Doctor, River, Amy, Rory, etc etc etc in Series 6? Remember how annoying they were, particularly when the ending made so little sense

NGL I totally LOLed hard at people losing their collective shit on the internet over the possibility that Moffat MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL SHERLOCK HOLMES! :D :D :D :D Fandom, you always amuse me. Have you not seen Doctor Who? Did we not estabilsh that he doesn't kill anybody? Even River got to live an eternity in the Matrix... pardon, the library.

ALSO

DOES NO ONE IN SHERLOCK FANDOM KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SHERLOCK HOLMES CANON AT ALL?

I CAN'T GET OVER THIS LOL

I'm not saying you need to be an expert in ACD's stories to watch the show but it's just -- Reichenbach is such a huge pop culture thing, I am baffled by how many people had apparently never heard of it/did not know how it played out/etc.

I KNOW RIIIIGHT??? I was sooo tempted to respond to all those people with SPOILER: HE SURVIVES!

It's only... what... a century old story. :|

And I get people being all - OMG it's the last episode already, we have to wait another year for more - but these were GENUINE concers that Holmes might really die this time. COZ MOFFAT AND ~GODTISS ARE JUST SO SNEAKY AND CRAFTY OMG THEY MIGHT DO ITTT. *eyeroll*

I have to admit that I knew so little about Sherlock Holmes when the show stared a few years ago that I went and looked it up on Wikipedia. It may be that American education is so lacking in everything that I missed it but none of the books, or stories, were read in any of my classes. Not even in college. I did read Uris' Trinity if that counts at all. And "Much Ado About Nothing" in 7th grade when no one understood any of the language, much less the jokes.

If I had not done a bit of research (or even seen the new movies ffs) I might have been freaking out...then realized that the show is too popular for them to kill Sherlock and Moffat would need to do an ACD allover again. "Psyche! JUST KIDDING!"

EVERYBODY LIVES!!!! (or you go emo and Moffat hates emo.) Have we not learned that lesson already? LOL

I can't believe people are actually thinking that Sherlock died. We does eventually (unless he gets absorbed into a book the Matrix too) but not from a freaking fall. And does everyone forget that money talks and this show is making a lot of it? Why people so dumb?
