I\u2019ve never seen this addressed before, so I decided to do a little analysis on a scene in A Scandal In Belgravia that caught my attention.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m not the first person to do this, excuse me, but as I said I\u2019ve never seen anything about it and I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed.<\/p>\n

\n

So in ASiB, Sherlock hears John and Irene\u2019s conversation\u2026<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

We see him moments later, but it\u2019s strange. I wish I could have gif\u2019d this, because it\u2019d be much more effective than pictures, but even so you can see the purposefully blurred edges around this frame<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Sherlock is walking very slow, the shot is blurry and distorted, and it\u2019s even a little shaky (again, sorry for lack of gifs). His eyes aren\u2019t as clear and focused as they usually are.<\/p>\n

And in this shot:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Sherlock is looking down at the door for a long moment, looking confused, and taking a long time to actually reach out and open it. All the while everything is still very obviously blurry.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019m suggesting that at some point before coming home, Sherlock got high, because why else would everything be so blurry? Why would he be moving so slowly? What would be the point?<\/p>\n

Which also might explain why he reacted like this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

and this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"
\n\"image\"<\/p>\n

and why he looked like this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

and did this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

before doing this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

I know that Sherlock\u2019s love for Mrs. Hudson was a large motivator in his reaction, but even for Sherlock throwing a man out a window several times (\u201cOh a fractured skull, a few broken ribs\u2026\u201d<\/i>) was \u00a0extreme.<\/p>\n

And it would make sense, because in His Last Vow we have this lovely little scene, when we know for certain that Sherlock is using:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBrother mine, don\u2019t appall me when I\u2019m high<\/b>.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n


<\/i><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMycroft, just go. He could snap you in two, and right now I\u2019m slightly worried that he might.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

This scene suggests that Sherlock is prone to reacting irrationally and violently when he uses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I just don\u2019t see why they would put such an obvious camera affect, and why Benedict would act the way he did in that scene as he walked back to the flat if it wasn\u2019t suggesting something. Sherlock being upset doesn\u2019t explain why they would film the shot as shaky and blurry, and it also doesn\u2019t explain why he didn\u2019t take a cab like he always does.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This whole episode is filled with suggestions about Sherlock\u2019s drug use, i.e. the \u201cdanger night\u201d scene where Mycroft warns John to look after Sherlock, and John searching the house for drugs with Mrs. Hudson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All together now, what do we say about coincidences?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
