Mine is so dumb, but I really hated the final episode of season four of Sherlock and when I went to bitch about it, everybody was really condescending because I wasn’t smart enough to know that there was gonna be a secret episode.

i still don't know how people convinced themselves of that. extreme disappointment does weird things to fandoms i guess, but still, it was such an out-there belief.

I've seen some variation of this is every fandom I've been in.

In one, there was a "deleted" scene that no one was ever able to find or watch that proved that the villain they were crushing on was actually sweet and gentle.

In another, every time a new season of the show was coming out, it was going to prove all their fan theories and head canons correct, as well as proving that their ships were cannon.

If you're old enough to remember a time when people built websites for their ships, you would remember pages of "evidence" that basically amounted to "Character A asked Character B for some ketchup for their fries before they asked their other friends, and that's how you know they're in love."

It's just something fandom does whether they're disappointed or not. *shrug*

Jokes on them.

I was really disappointed in that season, too (although not in a "Sherlock is dead to me!" way, just a "Welp, it's too bad that went out with a whimper" way). I wasn't involved with the fandom at that point, so I didn't bear the brunt of anyone's crazy. Sorry about the condescending weirdos. Its still so bizarre to me that "secret extra episode" is the conclusion that some people jumped to.

I checked out mentally in season 3 tbh but I watched season 4 out of loyalty. After the train wreck that was the first episode of season 3, which basically called fans idiots for wanting a genuine solution to Sherlock's death, it was easy for me to accept that yep, those season 4 episodes really were what they offered up to us.

You are definitely not the dumb one in your story!

called fans idiots

This basically sums up all my complaints about the show after Season 2.
