like i know we have had discussion of the use of “i want to break free” in TFP and like clearly the song choices are always extremely intentional and deliberate and serve a purpose
and if you listen to the entirety of the song, literally the entire thing applies to sherlock
if we operate from the assumption that there is an ep 4 and that TFP is actually the problem and not the resolution to the problem, then the use of this song is extremely telling
it’s not a malicious jab, it’s a clue
Yes. Exactly.
And they really made a point of choosing an Oscar Wilde quote about the complicated nature of truth, and a Freddie Mercury lyric about breaking free from lies. Choices like that do not happen by accident.
They even cut off “I Want to Break Free” on the word ‘love’…”I’ve fallen in l-”
Along with the romantic/sexual scene in the detective movie that gets cut off at the start of the episode, we are being told that a love story and a message about love are being interrupted.
