Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

Here is a very recent quote that really scares me:

Let the speculations come.

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

That makes me feel queasy and slightly light headed. 

I also saw a quote from Moffat today about how ridiculous it is to make the US wait so long after the UK for new episodes.

Which is true. In times of Internet this is ridiculous, the fun gets spoiled. Although in Germany we had to wait five months (bloody dubbing).

Regardless of "legalities"  I thank god for live streaming.   I would've lost my mind if I had to wait on S3 to air in the states.

I wouldn't trade anything for the experiance of sharing the new episodes with my friends here.

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

Didn't they say cast was in tears after reading the script or something? Really looking forward to it, I have to say! 

As for speculation, I always thought Mary would die in S4 or something. Maybe even the (unborn?) baby. Not sure that will happen anymore, though.

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

As for something coming back to bite you - could be Mary's past. Or Moriarty (very obvious). Or something completely different. Any ideas? 
I have an inkling it could be connected to Mycroft as we have this "other one" business, his strange silence regarding Mary and all that …

It could be the emotional impact shooting Magnussen has on Sherlock.

"Something coming back to bite you"? My first thought was: "The Speckled Band".

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."


I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Since I buy all the DVD's anyway I don't feel the slightest bit guilty.

Oh, I hate it when the authors scare us like this!

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

This!

STEVEN MOFFAT: There are answers coming to questions which nobody has asked. There’s one thing that no one has really brought up…Can you say what the question is? 
No. We’ve actually set up something, I think—[co-creator Mark Gatiss] and me, we’re very exultant about a little thing we’ve set up that no one is talking about. 


This is making me nuts! 
What?!?
What the hell have they done that we HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT!

They are mean evil people. And I mean that as a compliment.

Yaaaawwwn. Just a repetition of "the clue that everybody missed" from TRF.
They should try some new tactics already, this one is getting stale, tbh.

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

Yes .. frustrating - it does feel a bit like they're saying that the fans aren't clever enough to work it out.  I'm sure that's not what they mean, but if it's true that no one has brought it up, then perhaps they haven't signposted it properly?   But maybe I'm being unfair.  I'm very curious.

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

To me, it only felt like they are having fun in keeping our minds busy. I am neither frustrated nor bored after reading it. Just sooo looking forward to S4.

But then, I might be easy to please when it comes to hiatus stuff.

No, I'm sure you're right.  They do like to have fun .

Re: Steven Moffat about series 4 (EW magazine)

Not frightened at all. Don't really know what's darker than shooting Sherlock, and I'm sure that won't happen again. Think I'm fine with the rest, unless they get John shot this time. Hopefully not by the same person haha.
Nah, it's all fine. There can be ghosts and snakes and dunno what for what I care, as long as it airs any time before I'm a skeleton six feet under.
