Well, in a universe where people apparently can will themselves back from death, I'm quite happy to believe that someone can survive a liver injury.

It may sound like a bit of a crossover, but perhaps there could be an episode where a countryside village is suddenly getting a number of reports of missing children. Their parents say their children went to play in the forest nearby, but never returned.

Now, this is where it might start to sound ridiculous, but some witnesses claim they saw a creature much like Slenderman (I don't know if I'll run into copyright issues if I actually use Slenderman, but perhaps it would be easier to use a different name and create a supernatural creature similar to Slendy) during the night and believe he has taken the children to become his "proxies". This creature is famous as the village's oldest myth and it is infamous for its history of missing children who have never returned.

I was also thinking of adding a girl who murdered her friend in the forest because of her obsession with the myth. This would loosely based on that story about those two 12-year-olds who attempted to stab their friend to become Slenderman's "proxies". To make this a little more "strange", maybe their is hardly any Police records of murder, but a lot of missing people (kind of like what Hot Fuzz used with its high reports of "accidents") They find the murdered body with the note that reads CAN'T RUN. They'll discover other notes later on.
 

Looks like quite a plot already. Some wonderful twists and twist potentials.  I hope you're still reading this, I'm trying to think along so bear with me. 

I don't know about the story that's in your head but the way you've written it down hear I'd say you'll run into problems with your character motivations. A twelve year old girl would need a very strong motivation to kill someone. Also, writing 'can't run' somwhere is a very strange thing to do if one is trapped. You could write a number of things (mum, I love you, the name of the killer etc.) that would make more sense.Â

Yeah, I suppose a lot of what we said in that thread has gotten buried because everyone was so excited to share their first thoughts. 

I don't really know a lot about references in music either. I remember that when a piece refers to another piece, they tend to use the same key and/or the same chords, or sometimes the same instrument. I don't know whether they are in the same key, but if one is major and the other is minor, I'd say there probably isn't a link. 

I'm also not sure why David Arnold and Michael Price would include such a link since there's no obvious connection in the plot. There's a shooting bride, yes, but Amelia's motive is completely different from Mary's and the story is quite different too. 

I did notice another link though: 'Do not forget me' and 'Did you miss me?'

Nice article, Swanpride, that's also really how I felt about it but you said it a million times better.

I love this thread. I think the biggest clue was that Holmes talks about the case before Lestrade walks in, so he couldn't really have done that. 

I think most clues I saw, you already covered but I've got one more:

When Mycroft talks about paranoia, Watson says: 'sounds Serbian.' Serbia didn't exist at that time. 

And did you guys get: 'the virus in the data?'

Seconded!

But i thought fat Mycroft was hilarious.

Didn't Mary also wear a different red coat? I don't know, I think it's just continuity errors, I still have trouble getting over Mycroft's disappearing gloves at the end of HLV. How could no one have spotted that? 

Mary working for Mycroft: I think they just loved the idea that there would be another Holmes and Watson duo. 

Cherche le chien? I never caught that. When does he say it? 

I thought I'd remembered him saying cherchez, but I thought I misremembered because he was addressing Sherlock, that's why I wrote cherche. It's probably just a mistake, French declinations aren't so easy for us foreigners.
