Same here. They cannot kill off either John or Sherlock, because that would be the end of it and they *want* to do a new series. I would be saddest it it was Mycroft of the remaining four. If it's Mary, that probably will be sad, but as I don't "know" her yet.... *shrug*

I just watched Moffat write a death scene for a disembodied robot head in Doctor Who for a character we knew all of 30 minutes, and I was crying.  I know that he would make the death of John's wife absolutely tragic, no matter how long we knew her.

Where? Want to see!  Moffat is such an amazing writer.

But whoever they're gonna kill, let it please not be Mycroft!! It would be an obvious choice if you weren't constrained by the canon, clever and powerful characters tend to have short lifespans but in the canon, Mary dies and Mycroft doesn't. (Maybe that's just wishful thinking.)

Maybe the tracks we're hearing here are only the new ones and in the episodes we're also going to hear the old playful ones too. Can't imagine an episode without the Sherlock theme. 
 

 
The Cyberman head called Handles in 'The Time of the Doctor".

I'm sure we'll get some of the old tracks, too, but I have to admit, I love the new soundtrack quite a lot.  It's riskier, I think, to change the tone so dramatically, but I can't wait to see and hear it.

I agree! I don't like the first two tracks all that much, but apart from that... it sounds fantastic. It's something new, but at the same time you can also recognize the music we already know and love.

I agree. Some don't sound like Sherlock at all, but when you listen a second time... And there is no "old stuff", everything is new and fascinating.

Right. And you never know.... maybe if you see the pictures to the sound you start liking it anyway.

True, within the context of the story, the music can sometimes suggest something entirely different from when you hear it separately. 

I love it! It scares me yet I'm intrigued with what happens because of how powerful the piece is. It sounds like someone discovering a dead body of someone they know and love, holding the body as they flash back to everything they had been through, and as the music seems to intensify, the horrified mixed with anguish expression changed to a burning need for vengeance.

Of course, that is what it sounds like to me. I can't wait to see where this plays at and who it pertains to. I see a lot of people guessing and my opinion is quite different. I don't think it would be John that would be broken, but Sherlock.  John was broken at the end of Series 2. Someone else turn now!

So, I'm going to try to peg the tracks for The Empty Hearse and see how well I do before watching it XD  I may be COMPLETELY off, but it's fun to try, anyway  SPOILERS ahead.

TEH 1: Some sort of big opening action sequence concering Sherlock.  I have a feeling there's a fall, big drop or something goes in slow motion.

TEH 2: Mycroft going to get Sherlock- very Russian quality to this track.

TEH 3: Coming back to London/John and Mary visiting the grave

TEH 4: Sherlock 'comes back' to certain people.

TEH 5: Daffodil scene with John and Mary

TEH 6: I just have a feeling this has to do with the trains and London underground

TEH 7: Motorbike scene intercut with John dying in the bonfire

TEH 8: Explanation of how Sherlock survived, because it's the same track as TRF, except elongated (giving more time for explanation of what Sherlock was doing).

I don't know enough about the next two episodes to make great guesses, but here are a few that caught my ear:

TSoT 3: Barhopping

TSoT 6: Sherlock playing violin at the wedding

HLV 1: Magnussen's theme

HLV 4: Sherlock injured?

HLV 8: Mary's death

Keep in mind, these are complete guesses, and I don't really know.  But I had to guess now before it airs in a few days.

Oh, it would be nice to see Stamford again!
