Remember the ending of Study In Pink, where Sherlock and John walk off into the distance together as the credits roll and the music starts to play, giving each other that little happy smirk as if they're both thinking "yep, this is the guy I wanna hang out with"? Well...that's how I imagine S4 ending too.

...........................and then they go back to 221b and shag like bunnies!!

SORRY!  I had to say it I just had to!     

I think the perfect ending for me would be something like the ending of ASiP, as mentioned, but with Johnlock implied in such a way that it could still be read either way. That way everyone can have their cake and eat it too.

No, it would not.  I like their relationship just the way it is.
 

I guess that may depend upon whether they are both alive!

I thought this bit of the GQ interview was interesting

“Just wait and see. It’s wonderful, it’s very exciting. It’s exceeded all kind of expectations for how we top what we’ve done before, and it’s ramped up the whole thing. It just gets better and better and better.”

More than other series, he says, this one feels more like one story in three parts - with a villain who “comes slamming into the centre” by the end of the first episode, “and carries on into the second and resolves in the end. It’s f***ing ridiculous, it’s so exciting”.

It is, he says, “one of the best pieces of drama I’ve ever had to do, some of the best sequences I’ve ever had to shoot”.

I wish this was just transcribed rather than quoted, but he seems to be saying here that the villain has a role in all three episodes.  This is interesting, because as far as we know Toby J was only confirmed for Ep2.  So either he has been secretly filming a little for Eps 1 and 3 (which could possibly have been done while doing Ep2 - I'm not sure) and is the archvillain for the entire series, or he's the Ep2 villain, as we thought, but there is a different archvillain for the entire series (very exciting trying to guess who!), or ... I'm taking the quote out of context and Benedict is talking about the story, not the villain.  My money is on the third option, but it's fun to speculate, of course.

Even if he just means the story, it's interesting to know that there will be an over-arching story for the series, even though I think we suspected that anyway!  I just get more and more excited about January!

Because they're trying to pull it off!  

I have loads of ideas, but they start getting too wild.  But I think either a massive twist, or a tie-in to real life events/mass media.  And of course, that feeling that it's an ending of something now too (possibly because of the twist).

Sherlockology posted it on tumblr.... so I think it is!! 


OMFG. And the broken violin string scares me, a lot

I am already saving a bag of chocolate eyeballs, just for 'surprisingly okay' tea... 

Omgomgomg, this is awesome. This is a bigger event for me than New Year's Eve, and I'm not even kidding.

Lol about the "surprisingly okay" tea, Phantom!
