How can it be photoshop AND a spoiler, both at the same time?!

Because part of current Setlock was used in the making of it?

Yes, no matter how I feel about a baby on the show, Martin playing with a baby is beyond adorable.

She looks like she's laughing at him...bless.

That´s because she really is...

It probably helps that he holds her like a human being, not like a parcel (as this unknown lady):

Actually she's more likely to be smiling at her parent behind Martin!
I see lost of parents carrying their kids like that.

I thought he was really meaning he had writer's block!

Well I predict at least a broken John and I for one will be there for him.

Exciting that it's his favourite season! And interesting that he's still writing it! I took it that they were filming all the episodes together this time (whereas I gather that HLV was filmed later ... I've been amusing myself by reading setlock posts from S3 to see how much it's possible to guess from the glimpses we get!). The question was about favourite season and moment, which suggests that his favourite moment is the one they're actually filming now, but I suspect he answered just for the season rather than the moment.

On the other hand, until it's be aired, I wouldn't expect him to suggest that this season isn't quite as good as one that has gone before!

besleybean · May 1, 2016 7:33 am

I just assumed he was like me.
The latest season is always his favourite season.
For exactly the reason you stated!

HLV was late, because it was written by Steven.
His episodes are always last.

Please take the time to read this. This is definitely the best thing about setlock I have read so far. Free from panic, bitterness, and hysteria. Just someone thinking and asking the right questions:

(Sorry, I just typed a whole paragraph and lost it, cos of this flippin' internet issue. I do apologise that my responses are therefore more terse even than they usually are! So, a re-cap )
1. I have never panicked, nor been bitter or hysterical.
2. I always think and ask questions.
3. I don't innately hate any major character.
4. I do listen to the team's contributions.
5. Unless proven otherwise, I take on board what we are shown.
6. Setlock is difficult: we know from past experience that we never know what is real and also we will see things we both like and dislike. Having said that: sometimes things we don't like are(in an aired episode) presented in ways we can accept.
7. On the specific issues mentioned above: Well, it depends what you define as 'domestic bliss'. Plus, even if it is, we've ALL been saying the whole time, it's only been to lull us into a false sense of security.
Further, I can think of any number of reasons Sherlock and Mary could be dumped with baby Watson, which doesn't necessarily imply marital disharmony(which after all is what people are harping on about). For instance, doesn't this imply John and Mary are together? If they are, they could be working on their marriage, which is surely a positive thing?
8. I hope the boys do end up back in Baker Street together, but I only think this is going to happen after tragedy, which wll be traumatic for John at least.

Thank you for posting this. What a great analysis.

The scenes with Sherlock, Molly and the baby went right past me. I love how ominous they sound and definitely prefer them to the expected scenes with John, Sherlock and the baby.

SusiGo · May 1, 2016 9:59 am

Yes, I think they might foreshadow something happening to Mary and/or John. I am sure they will not waste a whole day's filming on Sherlock and Molly babysitting.

besleybean · May 1, 2016 10:03 am

Yes it screams to me that either John/Mary are in danger, or else they are sorting something out.

Thanks for posting that great analisys, Susi.

One of the points that made me think twice are the babieS.
"It’s not baby Watson, it’s some other baby. Or babies. As Amanda said on twitter, there are many babies, which could be literally true because it takes more than one baby to film one."

I saw some babies in the Setlock pics, but they were all of different ages. So it was not only filming one baby by casting more than one, which is quite usual, indeed, but also younger and older babies.
I wonder what that was all about...
