Sherlock - Series 4

[slimshady247]

Didn't they say a few years ago that they had fully plotted out both series 4 and 5?

 

[antsman41]

I believe so.

 

[Kathemy]

With regards to The Abominable Bride I'm kinda a slût for Benedict in any period drama. The plot doesn't matter, I can just lay back and look at the scenery.

(Sorry for evading the curse filter. I figured it would be fine if I was talking about myself.)

 

[Gort Baringa]

Haven't seen much lately here, but I did see some trailers today that definitely show that Moriarty is back, and Tom Hiddleston is definitely in, as well as . . . Collin Farrell!

. . . and also it looks like Irene Adler is back - didn't look like flashbacks.

Really looking forward to Season 4.

Could you point me to these trailers? I don't remember seeing Irene in any trailer, or Hiddleston either. I could have just missed them though.

DarthSkywalker, there are three promotional teasers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdtEVY7JAE8

Each teaser is titled so I am wondering if each one is for the three episode season?

Promo 1: "My Brother is a Murderer"
Promo 2: "You'd Be the First to Die"
Promo 3: "Something New"

The first link is fan made. A very well done fan made, but fan made.

all three of the above are fan-made trailer promos, so don't get your hopes up that it's the real deal for the upcoming Sherlock series, because it ain't...

The official Sherlock Facebook page shared the titles of the first 2 episodes of Season 4:

[Gold Samurai]

Martin freeman and wife split after fifteen years

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...anda-abbington-split-reveals-weird-real-life/

She also plays his wife Mary in Sherlock. Talk about awkward.

It's the start of Watson and Mary's life as parents and then having to do stuff they've done in real life

 

[chamber-music]

Freeman taking roles overseas for months (like the Hobbit movies and Fargo) seems to of been great for his career but killed his relationship with his wife unfortunately.

 

[Teelie]

One small nitpick is they were never married.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Well now I guess I don't feel too bad for thinking Martin and Amanda had zero chemistry in Sherlock.

One more week!

 

[Enriquespy]

Well, that was a good episode.


[BLACKOUT]when it seemed like he was about to cheat with Mary I was like ¡no you Idiot! ¡Don't cheat on an assassin![/BLACKOUT]

Also

Spoiler

No Dr. Sola yet.

And

[BLACKOUT]Why did Mary's disk for Sherlock had written "did you miss me" on it. There is something off about it[/BLACKOUT]


I also liked the

Lion-mane Jellyfish case

reference, that was the first Sherlock case that I ever read.

 

[Ozbridge]

I really like the episode, I don't think it's terribly clever like what Moffat and Gatiss want me to think but what an emotional roller-coaster.

How can I only know about this today??? Anyway there won't be a series (or any episode) in several years so I guess it's fine.

 

[NotNickFury]

Watching now...good so far, but in hindsight, I have to wonder if it was even necessary to make The Abominable Bride part of the main storyline at the end? We could've easily started where we did without having Abominable Bride tie into the ongoing plot.

[BLACKOUT]Why did Mary's disk for Sherlock had written "did you miss me" on it. There is something off about it[/BLACKOUT]

She knew Sherlock has Moriarty on the brain, it was just a trick to get him to watch it.

Great episode...

 

[Matt]

I really enjoyed this episode. That said, I am not crazy about [blackout]Watson blaming Sherlock for what happened. Mary was an assassin long before she met Holmes or John. Death would've been coming for her whether Sherlock was in their lives or not. Blaming Sherlock feels like an artificial way to stir up conflict. Unless it's less about blame and more about his own shame and hiding from the one man who could figure out that John came very close to having an affair days before his wife's death.

Speaking of, the near affair did not sit well with me. There was insufficient payoff to make it emotionally satisfying. It just seemed to be a distraction that ultimately went no where and the only result of which is dampening the viewer's sympathy for John. Although I am guessing that woman will pop back up and tie into the overarching Moriarty plot somehow[/blackout]

Yeah, I didn't get that. It was [blackout] Mary's choice to stand in front of the bullet intended for Sherlock. It happened that quick Sherlock could hardly do anything. [/blackout]

[blackout] There was no reason given for why John would suddenly have an affair either. No arguments or frustrations shown between John and Mary. [/blackout]

 

[Ozbridge]

John has always been John "Three continents" Watson so I don't find his action sudden or out of character at all. In fact since S1 it has been established that John has a habit of flirting with women he just meets (Anthea), and he still has trust issues with Mary so it's just one thing lead to another (happens all the time to new parents).

Regarding all the blaming John is too guilty that he actually consciously broke his vow while Sherlock "just" failed his, so John wants someone to blame to alleviate his guilt.

Sherlock unintentionally [blackout]pushed the secretary's buttons with his arrogant take down of her which lead her to shoot at him. Mary said don't to Sherlock when he started doing it because she knew the reaction it would get from the secretary.[/blackout]

 

[Enriquespy]

He also

asked Mary and John to come, they really didn't needed to be there.

Which is why

he gave mrs. Hudson the code word at the end

 

[superboy13]

That was... an odd episode. Not bad. Not great, either. The ending really fell flat for me and, overall, I thought it was all rather unfocused and somewhat confusing. Not a fan of some of the character choices (particularly that underdeveloped Watson subplot there).

Here's hoping Episode 4x02 is an improvement.
