reversed in position. This subtly signals to viewers that we\u2019re in a kind of \u201cmirror\u201d of reality, yes, but it also tells us that Sherlock\u2019s reversed the order of the objects on the desk. Is this conscious? In a <a href=\"http:\/\/mid0nz.tumblr.com\/post\/74838057380\/sources-for-sherlocks-mind-palace-sherlocks\" target=\"_blank\">traditional memory palace<\/a> it would be absolutely. Sherlock would actively place the objects in an order that retained significance for him for recall later. So is this <a href=\"http:\/\/mid0nz.tumblr.com\/post\/74838057380\/sources-for-sherlocks-mind-palace-sherlocks\" target=\"_blank\">a true memory palace<\/a> or is it some kind of other creature? (I think it\u2019s another kind of creature but that\u2019s another post.)<\/li>\n<li>Images two and three are phenomenally interesting. They\u2019re from \u201cMycroft\u2019s\u201d POV inside Sherlock\u2019s memory palace. So we know something about the way Sherlock\u2019s mind really functions. Not only does Sherlock people his palace with projections (like Molly and Anderson) but he also inhabits his own <em>distorted<\/em> vision of his older brother\u2019s POV (This is the representation of Sherlock\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Id,_ego_and_super-ego#Super-ego\" target=\"_blank\">Super-ego<\/a>.) <em>Sherlock assumes multiple points of view in his own memory palace<\/em>. Mycroft\u2019s is quite harsh, belittling. (Think of Sherlock resisting John\u2019s harping criticisms at the Jack-the-Ripper crime scene.)<\/li>\n<li>The vintage real-life fan (5th image) is missing from the memory palace altogether. This signals its lack of import to Sherlock and its absence highlights the significance of the other objects on Mycroft\u2019s desk, the ones Sherlock has <em>chosen<\/em> to remember.<\/li>\n<li>In real life the square, fractured overhead light (a demented skylight? a sidewalk grate?) shines to the one side of Mycroft at an angle. In the memory palace it bathes the whole room and in so doing it\u2019s repeated to infinity in the symmetrical mirrors which reflect each other.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>From \u201cMycroft\u2019s\u201d memory palace POV the vintage design red and black telephone hides in the shadows to his right while the modern phone takes the very prominent position on the desk.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Look at the glass globe. In Sherlock\u2019s memory palace it\u2019s lit from the direct light above, the light that makes a kind of distorted chess board of the office with Mycroft defending the queen. In Sherlock\u2019s memory palace the globe is better lit, but it appears much smaller than it seems in real life for two reasons: the real life camera angles, and the fact that the memory palace version of the globe does not rest on its real-life black stand (as it clearly does in the last 2 images.) I wonder if the memory palace globe is actually physically smaller than the real life one. (Did they use 2 different globes?) Why would they want the real-life globe to be larger? To signal that adult Sherlock understands the chess game to be one of international, global significance now?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I won\u2019t make any conclusions about what all this means just yet\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not quite finished with this one.
