I do not agree with the above theory either but laughing hard at other members' theories could indeed be regarded as disrespectful. 

I know, you are right. I honestly didn't mean to be respectful. I just chuckled when I thought about the idea of Sherlock falling for Mary, I wasn't laughing at the user.

He puts up with her because he must.

I feel the same. The scene with both of them at the tarmac never seemed sincere to me.

Likewise. Sherlock does NOT say things like 'that's my girl' - unless that's Moffat making his character go OOC just to try and convince us that they've forgiven Mary and are BFFs now.
 

When did Amanda think her character would die in s3?

Anyway, we are talking about 2 different situations I think. One thing is that Amanda said she might die in 23 when she hadn't been pitched about it, another is her knowing what happens because she has been told the storyline for the series. If they pitched it already I would find it extremely improbable that they would change such a huge event after it's already been planned out. Just my 2 cents.

Don't know about the special, but S4, definitely. Mary's done.

Why? It's just a stand in. Not a speaking role and doesn't need to act - and why is it not professional?  they are even using a casting agency!
Sometimes the needs of a production change at the very last minute - perhaps they've realised they can do some pick ups or fill in some scenes with a stand in while Ben is away, or that they have less time with him and therefore need to use all the time they have to make sure the speaking scenes are spot on  - or perhaps they have just recently decided they want to add a scene with Sherlock playing the violin. It does happen.

Mimes, male violinists, policemen... what the heck are they planning? It sounds quite complicated!

I don't see anything complicated about the violinist role... they need someone with Benedict's measurements in order to stand in for the shots where they don't need Ben's face. So I assume we'll have scenes where Sherlock is playing the violin and is filmed from the back and/or from far away.

ps and now you know you have Benedict's measurements. you're welcome.

I never said I didn't think they'd kill her off. I just believe they'll kill her off in their own good time, and I won't be holding my breath, waiting for it to happen in the first 5 minutes of episode 4.1. But I also believe that whatever the showrunners decide to do about Mary, it'll be carefully crafted to a) torture John Watson and run him through the emotional (and maybe also physical) wringer as much as possible, and b) do the same to all of Sherlock's loyal fans.
 

ah yes, they'll do it in their own time, I don't think anybody thinks that it will be as swift as the first 10 mins of the episode. But going by what she said she will die in s4 (because the actors have been pitched for the episodes that have been commissioned).
 

No problem I even went all the way and shamed myself - told him I wanted to know because  I checked the Sherlock page and I wanted to know if the release date had been imputted by someone from the production

I have spoken to the founder of Imdb himself at a party (he is from England and he is the most down to earth and nicest nerd in the face of the Earth) and he told me users fill in information and technically anyone can add whatever they want
