Oooh thank you for all the links!

Thanks for the links! 

Mary doe certainly seem to have a part to play. I'm sorry I can't find the clips, but this morning before I fell asleep I saw some clips of Amanda answering fan questions from Twitter, she said that this time around Mary had been a lot more fun to play, and she said with a sinister smile. 

What can be deduced from that? 

No, it was a different one I saw, there were several of her and others answering questions directly from Twitter 

Blast I can't watch the videooooo :'(

But yes, BRING IN SETLOCK !

Oh, I meant the twitter ones that I'd posted, not the other ones!   She was answering questions, and your comment made me think of this one https://twitter.com/masterpiecepbs/status/756921743042686976 .  I also posted one about her saying she would tell Mary to stop assassinating people, and there's another one I didn't post with her saying "yes and no" to a question about finding about Mary's backstory!  And another that I didn't post with Steven and Sue answering a question about action (yes, there will be action!). 

Oh, sorry! I might have missed that! Yes that's the video I meant. Thank you. And sorry for the confusion 

No problem, Phantom, I should have just linked to the twitter account https://twitter.com/masterpiecepbs which has all of them there. I was getting a bit overexcited about all the news!   I don't mind if Mary's good or evil or whatever, but I really didn't want her to just become one a "crime-solving trio", and although I trusted Moftiss, I think it's good to have confirmation from these tweets and things that that's not what they're going to show us.   I've gone from initially wanting Mary to get out as soon as possible to now being quite intrigued to see what they do with her.  

Amanda's comment about Mary assassinating people is particularly intriguing because she doesn't actually manage to assassinate anyone in S3 ... so it's an extremely strong hint of assassinations in S4 (unless Amanda is playing with us!).

oh yeah that Apple Store Q&A was awesome, it was in early 2014 so shortly after series 3. I remember when Steven talked about fanart/fanfiction and porno-versions and Ben totally astonished (as if he wasn't aware of it) porn? and then am I well endowed? and Steven "it doesn't see daylight very long" which some people in the fandom didn't seem to get (which is kinda cute) I mean it is obvious what "it" means and where "it" goes so "it" doesn't see daylight a lot.

Oh THANK YOU!
I didn't get how that was a top!Sherlock joke... until now :o

Don't worry me neither. Because I wouldn't call it that. Just when someone mentioned Steven said that Ben couldn't stop giggled and Steven said "pull yourself together" I know what was meant. So it's more the penis joke or the porn joke for me.

http://constancecream.tumblr.com/post/147880827158/sdcc16-sherlock-panel-clip-transcript#147880827158  A little bit about Mary's "death" (or was it just a messy divorce? ;)).

Can't find the link, but I think the four words I read were Mark "broadcasted", Steven "terminal", Amanda "devastating" and (I think) Sue "Amanda".  (Oh, found one - at the bottom: http://cupidford.tumblr.com/post/147864746950/cupidford-cupidford-x-x-x-x-x-conival )

Mary's character in S4 is different to S3 Mary https://twitter.com/masterpiecepbs/status/756921743042686976

And this one strongly implies that Mary has at least one more assassination to go before we're done! https://twitter.com/Sherlock221B/status/756924499841339397

I suppose the biggest (really obvious) message I'm getting is that Mary is important in S4.  (And that she's not going to be the sidekick, it's not going to be a crime-solving trio - something much bigger and darker's going to happen).

(I don't know if these should go in the SDCC thread, but all these things, especially the one I put in the debate thread, are a little bit spoilery, so I'm leaving them here for now - happy to move if they're better elsewhere!).

 

I think Mary will still be there at the beginning of s5.
