Pretty much the only reasons why I ever doubt TJLC are that A) it\u2019s not over until it\u2019s over, and even the most likely, most well-informed prediction in the history of predictions is still a prediction, that\u2019s just a fact, and B) most TV shows or movies don\u2019t throw a bunch of blatantly romantic tropes at you and then purposefully neglect to point them out. Honestly, the level of hand-holding that we\u2019re all used to in our entertainment is just not happening here, and that\u2019s jarring. <\/em>But the things that we\u2019ve come to expect shows to hold our hands and walk us through are still present in Sherlock, it\u2019s just that no one is walking us through them. It\u2019s like being in a museum which is a jumble of rooms, and all of the art is still there just like you\u2019d expect it to be, but there are no explanatory plaques and there aren\u2019t even any signs to help you find your way to the next gallery or to the exit, you have to figure it all out for yourself, and you\u2019re looking at a painting that you\u2019re pretty sure is a Rembrandt because it looks like every other Rembrandt you\u2019ve ever seen and you have no reason to doubt that it\u2019s a Rembrandt, therefore you deduce that it must be<\/em> a Rembrandt, but it\u2019s still troubling to you that you don\u2019t know for sure because the little plaque that would tell you in no uncertain terms that this was painted by Rembrandt<\/em> just isn\u2019t there, like it has been in every other museum you\u2019ve ever been to in your entire life. And to make matters worse there\u2019s a person standing behind you going \u201cUhhh, listen, I know the colors are dark and there are Dutch people in it, but I really<\/em> don\u2019t think that\u2019s a Rembrandt, it could literally be by anyone.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
