Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Sounds like they are really adapting "The Valley of Fear" then. The organisation of mainly Irish freemasons that terrorised a small town by arsons, murders and beatings of people who opposed them was featured in that story...

Right. So I guess I'll go and read "The Valley of Fear" then quite soon.

Hah, if that's Valley then I predicted something right. I'm really curious what they will do with Mary. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they killed her at the end of this episode. Otherwise it's gonna be the last one.

I still like the idea of Mary being the MacMurdo character in Valley.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Well, folks, tonight I had a dream with the trailer to the special.
So what are we going to see?
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
- Mary in her red coat, a lot, like on a lonely road, staring in window panes and also at:
- another wedding (Kate and William), what the heck????
- we will see that everybody wonders where Mary left the baby this afternoon - probably just with the grandparents, right???
I mean, this time I could remember more than last time when I dreamt the complete S3 last year (twice, but it didn't help 
)

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
What an interesting (prophetic) trailer! 
- I guess that the people from Mary´s past will be after her this time
- the terrorists that wanted to blow up the parliament in S3 will have the plan to ruin Kate´s and William´s wedding in S4 or so it seems
- and maybe the Watson´s baby will be kidnapped too?

That's blatantly going to happen at some point if they keep the baby in the show.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
You dreamed a trailer? That's so cool! How freaky would it be if the real trailer would turn out to be the same?
Knowing Moftiss, we're probably wrong about the imaginary trailer; the wedding is a flashback to the Mary and John wedding, but now they're gonna explain that nothing was what it seemed.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I don't mind if it's not a Christmas special. In fact, I might change the title of this forum to join in with the ambiguity.

I'd prefer if it wasn't a Xmas special.

Dreaming things ahead of time is fun - I was lucky enough to dream all S3 twice in 2013 but couldn't remember much

No!
But they won't be completed in time, anyway.

They may not even finish filming until the END of February.
