Tell me everything about Irene please

Sherlockology posted a "spoiler free review" of the screening and Q&A and there or on Ruther's twitter feed they described Irene as having a River Song vibe.

they described Irene as having a River Song vibe

Oh no. *sadface*

The picture of Sherlock on a stretcher velvet_mace December 8 2011, 00:18:41 UTC

He wasn't wrapped up in a blanket or strapped in or IVed or anything, just kind of artfully flung across the stretcher and being towed away. It looked so damn fake to me.

If he were dead, they'd have covered him entirely with that blanket he has tucked under his head. If he weren't dead and he were that injured, he'd be strapped in with a backboard, IVs, blanket for warmth, and they'd have certainly put his arm on the damn thing. Either way they would have strapped him to the gurney before towing him off, because having a patient fall off the stretcher is, you know, bad.

It could be that rule-of-cool is going on, but I hope not. I hope it's because Sherlock was faking it for observers and wanted to make sure observers watching would recognise him and think he was badly hurt.

It would be so much cooler if it's Sherlock being clever rather than the writers being stupid.

Your thoughts?

IMHO and this is *pure* speculation just based on seeing the pic and my own thoughts... Likely it's Mycroft's doing in part and also just being "cool" and "OMG ARTFUL INJURY!" rather than anything else.

Re: The picture of Sherlock on a stretcher velvet_mace December 8 2011, 13:53:19 UTC

There's another picture of him with the blanket all the way over him...

Re: The picture of Sherlock on a stretcher velvet_mace December 8 2011, 17:43:10 UTC

Well, he could be faking it like your hopes, but I know that when I was taken away in an ambulance, they did not hook up the IV until I got inside the ambulance.

Can someone put this picture in context for me or is that one of those 'Do not spoil!' plot points?

maybe this is the "do not spoil" plot points

irene on baker street , remember that window pic wearing sherlock pijama? and then sherlock look shock in the morning in sheet wonder what's happen

Don't worry anonymous December 9 2011, 02:34:19 UTC

Apparently the sheet scene takes place even before he meets Irene. It's unrelated, but does lead to embarrassing public nudity for Sherlock. Oh dear~

Of course, I'm just talking. I didn't see the preview, just saying what I've heard from other sources and published articles.

captcha!Mycroft says 'stressl was'

Ironically that scene/picture involved a stressed Mycroft. HE'S WATCHING.

velvet_mace December 9 2011, 04:37:55 UTC

Normally I'm not for public nudity, but in Sherlock's case, I think it's awesome. I have no idea the excuse for it, though.

Just found this review... anonymous December 8 2011, 06:01:57 UTC

...which is the most informative one I've seen so far. Sounds like John is total awesomesauce in this episode.

Re: Just found this review... anonymous December 8 2011, 07:02:27 UTC

This review is fantastic, it manages to almost totally avoid spoilers while being descriptive enough to make me physically ache for the moment Sherlock finally returns! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Just found this review... naomi_hansen December 9 2011, 02:00:28 UTC

Damn thing teases me so. But god, I'm just more hyped up about it even though the waiting has now just become a little worse for me.

anonymous December 8 2011, 06:36:32 UTC

Just a yes or no question:

Do Sherlock and Irene do it? (please no, please no, please no)

ginbitch December 8 2011, 07:49:58 UTC

No.

ginbitch December 8 2011, 07:55:23 UTC

Or at least if they did, I missed it. Not on screen.

anonymous December 8 2011, 10:09:09 UTC

Were there IMPLIED sex scenes? The picture with Sherlock in the sheets makes me think there might.
