Series 4 News

[Arcadia]

Thanks JP. Hmmm, if I'm reading this clock right, that's coming up shortly ... ?

[J.P.]

ca. 5 minutes.

[J.P.]

From now all news and articles are under embargo for me. They drive me crazy with the headlines alone: "This is the end" "this is not the end"…

The last one I read was about TFP being very Mycroft centered.

Don't know if it's something to anticipate or to dread.

 

At least this pic made me smile. At first. Loosened tie? For Mycroft it's like being half naked!
 

But then… the only other moment when he did this, was after the Bond Air desaster.

 

 

And it is a film projector. Something old. Films from the childhood?

 

Please, dear Godtiss, don't take him away from me! (either by making him human or by murdering him)

I will stop pestering you on Twitter, I even stop pestering Arwel if you wish, will buy every existing Ligue of Gentelmen episode, and tatoo your name on my forehead, but please, pleeeeease…

 

Dang! It's too late anyway.

 

"Nothing is written"? I'm afraid everything is…

Looks like we finally got a DVD artwork cover https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/DVD-Blu-ray/Sherlock-4-2016-Benedict-Cumberbatch/B01IRDD4ZY

 

And a cover for season 1-4 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-1-4-Abominable-Bride-Blu-ray/dp/B01IRDD80A

An episode about Mycroft? Ugh. No thank you.

 

J.P., I really don't think they would kill him. Don't want to be rude about one of your favorites, but the emotional impact wouldn't exactly hit through the floor. (Although, I didn't think they would kill Mary either because I thought it was too predictable yet they did the predictable thing anyway). We shall see. At least it won't be long until we find out.

[J.P.]

Do you mean that it would not upset the average audience that much?

 

Oh, I think it would have an enormous impact on Sherlock. Their relatonship borders on symbiosis.

[bedelia1984]

I would be devastated if anything happened to Mycroft!

Yes, I mean the audience, not Sherlock. I hate to say this so bluntly because I know you like him, but I don't really care that much about Mycroft. If he died, I'd be like, okay. Why didn't they kill him sooner? If he and his endless resources were gone, the plots would have to be less lazy (which is another reason why I doubt they'd kill him, he's just too convenient for the writers. Unless this is really going to be the last episode, in which case of course, they could kill everyone).

 

I can't imagine an emotional death scene for Mycroft. I sure don't want one!

[J.P.]

Don't worry. You cannot break the empty cavity in my chest with your comments. :D

 

Of course his death scene wouldn't be emotional. He would fall down and break in thousand pieces of ice. And then melt in an unspectacular way, to be wiped by hollering Mrs Hudson. Maybe that water on set is his reminings. Water and the umbrella.

 

I would just prefer him alive in my MP - instead of a ghost. :P

[T.o.b.y]

Well, here's to hoping they won't kill him - or any of the main characters. I have had enough of that.

[Inge l-w]

And no more punch-ups, please! It's hardly civilised behaviour and totally unacceptable on the part of a doctor of medicine! Should some of the witnesses report him to the BMA, his licence to practice would be a thing of the past!

[J.P.]

He just had a bad day.

[sherlockandjohn]

I am wondering why John tells Sherlock in the trailer for TFP: "I know this is difficult, but you have to hold it together". The death of someone close to Sherlock - like Mycroft - could be behind that. I would probably be really upset, because it would hurt Sherlock.

[J.P.]

Maybe he is going trough a detox?

As far as the other trailers were, the lines might belong to completely different scene.

[Inge l-w]

What is shock-blanket worrying is that in the latest trailer it's only Mycroft behind Sherlock, while the semi-profile standing in front of him while Sherlock is fiddling around with the 'gun', (it looks fake in the trailer) is actually Dr Watson. If Sherlock says 'I love you' to him, the whole TJLC community will feel validated, and a great detective will have ceased to exist in his intended form!

I don't know... The way John says it, it sounds really sad. If Sherlock is "just" going through detox, I think John would sound more firm, less sad.

JP, I moved your post about the violin to the TLD thread, since it contained a spoiler for that episode. It's here now: http://www.sherlockforum.com/forum/topic/3548-episode-42-the-lying-detective/?p=113832Pretty cool idea.

[Arcadia]

Careful what you discuss here, gang. No spoilers, remember?

[Carol the Dabbler]

Ariane DeVere has put up Part I of her "Lying Detective" transcript, the rest due to follow soon.

[T.o.b.y]

Sherlockolgy has posted a review of The Final Problem. No spoilers for that episode, but they do assume you have seen the last two. I wish I could link to it, but I can't figure out how on my phone.

 

What they write sounds very promising.

[Arcadia]

Here you go. I believe s&j has posted it in the TLD thread, as well.

[Inge l-w]

Very promising as 'drive the fandom round the bend' finally, or very promising as 'provide some long-awaited logical answers to several through-lines and dramatic twists'?

[Fantasy Lover]

The latter I guess

[T.o.b.y]

Here you go. I believe s&j has posted it in the TLD thread, as well.
