Excellent observation, nakahara.

I know, but they do things out of sequence and repeat them.
Now I know this is partly because S1 was stand alone...in that they didn't know if there was going to be a second series.
But they did say that the Pool scene was kind of a Reichenbach equivalent...then we had the actual Reichenbach.
We've had potentially 4 fake deaths so far, they aren't canonical either.
Though I suppose I can take the point, in relation to Irene: she was different in modern Sherlock and was linked to Moriarty.
Are all the Sherlock women linked to Moriarty?!
I don't think Mary is trying to keep her husband away from Baker Street.
I think she'd just like to see him occasionally(as she says) and actually support him in his work.

Quite so.

Ooh Amanda, is she jesting us?!

Harriet · January 6, 2016 5:49 pm

No, it's to be taken literally.

besleybean · January 6, 2016 5:51 pm

Thank you for that.

SusiGo · January 6, 2016 5:51 pm

I suppose by now she is sitting in the notorious Moftiss dungeon.

Harriet · January 6, 2016 5:56 pm

I mean, they are not jesting innocent fans otherwise, or do they?

SusiGo · January 6, 2016 5:59 pm

It has a slightly different quality than the usual "we are lying constantly" quips.

Harriet · January 6, 2016 6:01 pm

I think we should take them more seriously and believe everything they say.

Well in STAB Mycroft used Mary to lead Sherlock to the secret womens murder group , sort of . Could be the case in reality too.

besleybean · January 6, 2016 6:40 pm

Actually it would have been a brilliant plot twist.
But as we've said before(re Reichenbach particularly), it sometimes appears that the fandom are more clever(well at least more creative) then the team.
And I remember posts form yesterday.

I was just talking to a friend about this earlier today. Was telling them about the extras at the theater.

"The extras at the end were all of Mark interviewing the cast.
When he sat down with Amanda he ask her "what has been your favorite part of shooting Sherlock"/
The first thing she blurted out was "The pool scene." ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Now, Mark was a bit flustered and said, "no no, something you were involved in." But I still found it highly suspicious.
Even though we know she was not involved in filming the original pool scene from TGG does she know something we don't know?
It just really struck me as odd."

Loose lips?

Ah, well remembered.
I wondered the source of the strange Twitter exchange.
I was more interested in what she said about John and Mary's relationship, at the time..
Oh I'm going to watch that interview again, when the dvd arrives.
It would be funny if she had blurted something, cos didn't Martin once get into trouble for loose talk?!
I know he got teased on the commentary, over letting slip that Andrew Scott was Moriarty...at The Pool scene!

Especially if Mark explicitly asked for the favourite part of shooting Sherlock. For Amanda to quote a scene she was not in is strange indeed.

besleybean · January 6, 2016 6:52 pm

I can't exactly remember the question...maybe Tonnaree is recalling better than me.
I thought he did just ask what her favourite part was...I don't know,

tonnaree · January 6, 2016 6:57 pm

I might not have gotten it exactly right but Mark was flustered when she blurted that out.

SusiGo · January 6, 2016 7:01 pm

This is the exact wording according to someone who snuck a dictaphone into the cinema:

Mark: Tell us your fave thing of working on the show.
Amanda: I liked the swimming pool scene.
Mark: No, bits you’re in!
Amanda: ohh, okay! I liked the bit where I shoot Sherlock. I loved that bit!

It is even more explicit than in your version, tonnaree.

besleybean · January 6, 2016 7:02 pm

I really see and do not observe...can't wait for the dvd now.
Having said that, it would just have to be a blurt about being told that Mary was at the Pool.
Cos she wouldn't really have been there.
Only 3 actors would have been there.
Cos they won't have filmed anything even as a flashaback yet and they won't have the scripts yet, will they?
