A question and some mulling

[fluffyllama]

First, a question about the end of Hounds - was that really Mycroft? A couple of people have suggested it is or we're supposed to think it is a hallucination, like Moriarty has been subjected to the same drug. Anyone have any ideas at all? I'm still completely WTF about it about 18 hours later.

At least I am all WTF over it with the 1% of my brain that isn't all !!!!! over next week's preview. I swear I can't remember the last time a week felt so long. This is killing me already.


Second, I saw either on friendsfriends or the members list of one of the comms (because I have been trawling both like a sad, sad addict) someone describe Sherlock as order and Moriarty as chaos. I dunno, I can see where they're coming from, but I can't see Sherlock in himself as order.


For me:

- Sherlock is chaos but tries to impose order (on himself and the rest of the world) by deduction and organisation and self-denial, and to discover order (by experimentation)

- Moriarty is chaos who wants to extend that chaos to the rest of the world

- Mycroft is order who wants to impose order on Sherlock (for his own good) and the rest of the country/world/universe because He Knows Best (so parental)

- If you want to include Irene, she's order who wants to create chaos (at least in Sherlock, I'd argue her motives are unclear beyond that and likely to stay that way)

Oddly enough, the only conclusion I can draw from this is that John and Lestrade need to run away now to save their sanities if not their lives *g* Maybe to a Canadian shack since that's the other thing all over friendsfriends right now.
