Series 4 News

[Inge l-w]

Gentlemen's agreement or not, actors have agents, I think BC had one even before finishing university, and agents WILL get their cut before anybody else does, that's their job. Dear sfmpco knows more about that than me, so if there are no contracts, (Martin Freeman and the Hobbit conundrum was a good example, by the way, thanks!) with clauses and penalties and restrictions it's not on. QED, as Mycroft would say.

[sfmpco]

The game is on!  One just has to be patient for it.

[Inge l-w]

Dear sfmpco, I may have scored like the good doctor in the questionnaire you set on another thread, but when it comes to patience, I am about as bad as our dear consulting detective! I have had to show extreme patience when the need arose, but I could always picture myself doing things to that wall while taking a deep breath and carrying on with my lecture! Definitely not the patient kind, not by a long shot! Speaking of which, dear J.P. must be back from the gottverdammter convention soon. I anticipate great news!

It was a funny old moment when someone in the audience asked Andrew Scott about his favourite line, someone else shouted "Did you miss me?" and he actually said he had never said those words, but picked the line about people dying, just before the "I'll burn the heart out of you speech! What the *#*#? If he didn't say that phrase, who did? He appeared in the mind palace scene all right!

[besleybean]

Selective amnesia?!

Unless he means it's not real as in he is really dead...I mean Moriarty!

[Carol the Dabbler]

Right.  There does seem to be some question as to whether the final shot of Andrew Scott saying that line was supposed to be part of "His Last Vow" as such, or more of a "trailer" for Series 4.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Or, some of the speculations are correct and the "Did you miss me" gif is not Moriarty but someone else pretending to be him.  That Kill Switch that was discussed earlier on in some of these threads.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Right, the GIF could easily have been faked, but I was talking about the obviously-Andrew-Scott snippet at the very end.

 

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Hhhmmmm......not remembering that at all.....will have to take a look at it.

Hhhmmmm......not remembering that at all.....will have to take a look at it.

It's after all the credits. I missed it on the first several watches on Netflix before catching it.

[Carol the Dabbler]

It's after the closing credits -- just a shot of Scott (arguably dressed as Moriarty) looking straight into the camera and saying "Did you miss me?"

 

[sittything]

I'm having a brain lapse, but does Moriarty ever say "Did you miss me?" other than the end of HLV?  Because at the end of HLV there was no need to record him saying it... from the sound of it.

Oh, I guess that answered my question.  lol

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Oooookkkaaayyy.......yeah, it could still just a replay of the original gif......maybe.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

The gif is a black & white sort of moving mouth headshot versus a live full body shot after all the credits straight into the camera.

[sittything]

This is what played after the credits?

Technically.... he says "miss me?" not "Did you miss me?"  ;)

[Inge l-w]

So, technically he preserved his credibility in the convention because he did not actually say those words! Does anyone know if Mr Scott went to school in a Jesuit-run establishment? Such splitting of hairs is worthy of Saint Ignatius himself!

Yes. And I can answer yes to his question as well.

[Carol the Dabbler]

OK, that settles it.   :D   According to Andrew Scott, it wasn't really Moriarty saying "Did you miss me?" in the GIF.

 

[Arcadia]

Agghghgh!

[SherlockedCAMPer]

OK, that settles it.   :D   According to Andrew Scott, it wasn't really Moriarty saying "Did you miss me?" in the GIF.

 

The black & white GIF before the credits was "Did you miss me?"  The live shot after the credits was "Miss me?"  So both wordings are correct depending on what part you put the words with.

[besleybean]

I think that's the only way I can see it...

I was overly succinct again, wasn't I?

 

What I was attempting to say was this:  We have been told that Andrew Scott said that he (as Moriarty) never said "Did you miss me?"  But the GIF clearly says "Did you miss me?"  Therefore -- if Scott was not misquoted, and if he was neither misremembering nor lying -- the GIF was not Moriarty at all.  It was a fake.

 

[SherlockedCAMPer]

ooh...I get what you're saying Carol.  That adds a whole new twist to the overall plot line and is fodder for more speculation.

Believe it or not, I actually got that the first time around. But who is this "Moriarty"? :p
