We Really Need To Talk About Afterglow More You Guys.

I agree. There was a moment when they got married that Tommy looked doubtful almost unhappy. That expression on his face was there once more before Grace died. I don't think they really loved each other and the show should really let go of her.

Unpopular opinion but Grace was such a non character when she was actually alive and neither she nor Tommy actually added anything to the other's character, I never got the impression that Grace knew or understood Tommy that I'm just ready to move on. Her presence this season is abrupt to me because the show did a terrible job portraying why exactly Tommy would continue to pine for her (since season 2) there was literally nothing of substance to that relationship. It's time to let that character go.

I find these portraits a symbolic telling of their relationship with the spotlight (public):

The Queen looks at the spotlight head on, however her expression is impassive, we don't know for sure how she feels. She has become good at maintaining her duty. Margaret is looking down quite solemnly. I suppose this is the time her marriage and her character in public starts to fall apart. Both sisters are probably sharing the same light because it falls on the Queens left and Margaret's right.

Philip also has the spotlight on his left side who looks down tired. Submissive. Given up.

Charles also has the spotlight on his left side however he is looking at it shyly as if he is peeping through a half closed door as secrets unfold before him. As if he is sizing up the whole thing in secret.

And Anne has the spotlight on her right like her Aunt Margaret and she looks distant, daydreaming, like she is present physically but emotionally and mentally she's somewhere else. Hesitant.

"Hunter/Gatherer 1.0" and "without a software upgrade". I love THIS.

Thank you.

That’s the new handshake for 2019.

I just watched Frozen 2 and

Can we talk about Kristoff and the relationship he has with Anna and Elsa? I mean damn Disney stepped up it's game in there. Kristoff reacted in the most mature way when Anna was not paying enough attention to Kristoff. He understood that Elsa needs her and that Anna has to protect her and when Anna apologies for leaving him alone, he replies, " I know. My love is not fragile." (Paraphrasing here).

Also it's so wonderful that Elsa and Kristoff both have welcomed each other as family members. Elsa doesn't take Anna away and make Kristoff feel left off. And Kristoff is cool with Anna's close relationship to her sister. This is a family I whole heartedly stan.

Wow. You guys stop it. Stop blowing my mind okay am not ready for this.

Eurus = emotion

Eurus is Sherlock’s emotional side. She is sentiment itself.

Mycroft is the one responsible for imprisoning her. At a textual level this makes no sense. But if Eurus is emotion then it makes perfect sense. Sherlock started to imitate Mycroft’s own attitude to emotion, locking his emotional side in a fortress and then forgetting all about it.

Eurus has superpowers. She can make people do things just by talking with them. Again this makes no sense at the textual level. What makes us do things we don’t want to do on a rational level? Emotion. Emotions are motivators. People do things because of sentiment all the time.

Although locked in a fortress she escapes with ease. Yet she returns too. This makes no sense textually. But as subtext, she is Sherlock’s emotions locked inside him and yet his emotions escape regularly leaking all over the place.

John has an affair with Eurus. There is a romance between John and Sherlock’s emotional side.

Eurus is John’s therapist. Sherlock’s emotional side heals John.

Eurus plays the violin too. In fact, she taught him. At a textual level it makes no sense but subtextually, emotion is necessary to music.

Eurus plays the role of the daughter to the killer.Does Sherlock himself fear that he will kill one day because his emotions are that powerful? Or is she only playing that role as it is a conversation Sherlock is having with himself about the case?

Moriarty visits Eurus. Moriarty has always understood Sherlock’s emotional side. He sees beneath the mask that Sherlock wears.

Eurus is suicidal but Sherlock talks her out of it. Sherlock’s emotional side is suicidal but his rational side stops himself.

Eurus puts Sherlock through tortuous mind games. Doesn’t emotion do the exact same thing?

Sherringford is the original name for Sherlock. He started whole, rationality and emotions both.

Eurus killed Redbeard/Victor and then Eurus was taken away by Mycroft. That’s the textual level. But what does it mean? Was Sherlock accidentally responsible for someone’s death while caught up with his emotions? Or perhaps he simply blames himself? Or is the death symbolic? Did he fall in love with Victor as a child and revealing his true feelings destroyed the friendship?

The final problem then is reason vs sentiment. How do we live with emotions? Should we lock them up as Mycroft recommends? Sherlock has tried this and it didn’t work. So what’s Sherlock’s solution in the end? He lives with her. He accepts her. He becomes whole again. Reason and sentiment.
