Except no, he reminds us that John\u2019s the writer, John\u2019s the storyteller, John controls the world\u2019s perception of the two of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a constant reminder of the ambiguity of Sherlock himself: the man in John\u2019s story, vs. the man John really knows. Are we getting John\u2019s story, or Sherlock\u2019s dream? Maybe someone is dreaming, or maybe someone is writing \u2013 John narrates the beginning, after all. Which is the real Sherlock: the deerstalker-wearing icon in John\u2019s stories, or the hallucinating drug addict?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well,\u00a0<b>both<\/b> of them are the real Sherlock. Because, as the last shot tells us, 1895 Sherlock is in Baker Street, which fades right into modern-day Baker Street. Both can exist at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Because EVERY version of Sherlock is equally real.
