I prefer to observe certain ethics and therefore I will not participate in this discussion.

Does it really matter?  My point is this:

If going to watch someone while they work, taking thousands of pictures and posting them for the world to see isn't crossing a line, I don't see how a 28 second not-that-bad trailer is.  I showed it to my husband and friend, niether of whom knows any spoilers and they said 'I don't see the big deal'.  Actually, they both laughed and thought the waiter thing was funny.  And that's basically it.  Neither of them thought anything big had been spoiled...and they are right.  Did we see them fight?  Did we see the solution to the falls? Did we see John being drugged or Sherlock saving him from the bonfire?  Nope...then it can't possibly be as bad as people are making it out to be.

 
I haven't seen the trailer, but as far as you (and others) told about it, it seems to show the first moment John and Sherlock see each other face to face. And that is a big spoiler IMO. That's definetly something I want to see in the show, not in a trailer and, as I said above, I had hoped this first encounter would be under more privat circumstances. So, first disappointment for me, pity.

THE moment however isn't shown in the trailer, it clearly has already happened.

Why should you be disappointed? It's completely according to canon. John meets the old book seller - Sherlock in disguise - in the street - then, afterwards their second meeting takes place in 221B.

 
Well, that would be perfectly fine then because John did not recognise Sherlock in his disguise as a book seller. What I meant is the first meeting between them, when John actually realises that Sherlock is alive. I hope that it will not be in the restaurant but more a thing between just the two. But that's only my single opinion. I am sure during the last two years people developed so many ideas, theories and wishes for the next episodes, it's impossible that they will all be fulfilld.

That's okay- I think we all have come up with our own theories in our imagination  But hopefully you won't be disappointed- I'm sure we'll get a quiet moment between them at some point.

Oh, I have perfect faith in Moftiss ;-) .

Alright everyone, 

Keep calm...easier said than done...sometimes I feel like pacing until series 3 gets here  ...although I would be pacing for an awfully long time

So I came up with a countdown I wanted to do. It's past midnight here now so I'll start tonight  I'll post a new one every night past midnight ^^ Images from The Great Game, quotes from Series 3 trailers (only officially approved ones )

Good idea! 

That line gives me chills...so excited!!!

But it's a spoiler thread!

So, the synopsis for the minisode "Many Happy Returns" reads as thus:

"A series of seemingly unconnected crimes stretching from Tibet to India to Germany," reads the synopsis. "Sherlock Holmes has been gone for two years. But someone isn't quite convinced that he's dead."

Anyone else wonder whether Anderson was so shaken up by the events of Sherlock's suicide that he turned into a 'believer' of sorts?

I've been wondering this....it would certainly be an interesting development in his character.
 

I like the idea, too.  It makes him a 3 dimensional character instead of 'generic annoying guy that Sherlock doesn't like'.  It was a funny joke at first, but it's a joke that would grow old if they kept trying to use it.
