No, I don't want him to rise from the dead, but wouldn't mind him apppearing in memory. 

Thinking of bloodhound/shark again - it's maybe too obvious but bloodhound seems closer to Sherlock than shark for me, because a bloodhound is a detective dog.   This bloodhound seems to be chasing a shark. 

I believe both bloodhounds and sharks have a very good sense of smell, although I doubt that has anyting to do with anything - I don't know if there will be a scent-related crime!  (Although perfume was used as a clue in HLV and TAB).  So these two could be tracking each other. 

Can we count on it being all over the internet a few seconds later?
 

Can't believe there'll be a sneak peek in two week's time! Setlock is definitely speeding up the wait. However, I think audio-only would drive the last nail into my setlock coffin.

OMFG, that's soon!

I imagine it will be put online in a proper format before long after that... nothing stays secret these days... 

Well, if they wanted it totally secret, they wouldn't show it at Comic Con.  Even if they don't like it very much I'm sure they expect it to be leaked to the rest of us at some point.  They are not going to show anything to Comic Con that would give anything vital away.

I suppose in terms of being spoiled, it's not much worse than seeing the trailer.  But it does seem bad form to film it, if asked not to.

I was doing some browsing last night, and came across a couple of interesting things.   Somebody mentioned those tweets between Mark and Amanda about sharks ("sharks drive on the right", etc.), remember?  It was ages ago.  The clues seemed to fit with maybe Magnussen or Mary.   Anyway, that could well be the shark connection.   I'm not sure if "sharks" means that there's more than one shark?    I'm sure the shark graffitti must be connected too, but that doesn't mean the "shark" is in Ep1: it could be a clue/foreshadowing for Ep3.  

I also came across this http://constancecream.tumblr.com/  .  I'm sorry, I'm being thick on how to link to single posts on tumblr, but I mean the twitter exchange at the top https://twitter.com/cdsanders1971/status/750786923787063296  and the following discussion.   It seems to confirm the account of the scene with Sherlock and the little girl at Ogmore castle!   With a little more detail too.  Curiouser and curiouser!

And also news that Tam Mutu has been cast as "Leonard".  Let's hope he does some singing!

Hang on, there are three different things.
There are short, simple taster clips, which are traditionally shown at comic com.
There are official trailers shown on TV.
There are official, public previews, usually held at big screens.
The trailer won't appear until Autumn at the earliest and could be late Autumn.

Thank you.
So at comic con, we may get the teaser and the keywords?

hmm... I do hope we get three official words though...

I wonder if "bloodhound" refers to the dog that was scene in Ep 1?   The shark, obviously the graffitti, but it instantly reminds me of Magnussen.  However, he's not going to appear in S4 (although if there are flashbacks/mind palace, then why not?  I would love for him to appear!).  

Usually, it´s the Sherlock himself who is compared to a bloodhound, as is the case in this quote from The Sign of Four, which was also used to some extent in TEH:

He whipped out his lens and a tape measure, and hurried about the room on his knees, measuring, comparing, examining, with his long thin nose only a few inches from the planks, and his beady eyes gleaming and deep-set like those of a bird. So swift, silent, and furtive were his movements, like those of a trained blood-hound picking out a scent, that I could not but think what a terrible criminal he would have made had he turned his energy and sagacity against the law, instead of exerting them in its defense.
