OMG!
One takes a little cosy travel on the weekend and BAM! Meanwhile, they unleash such a trailer on us!
I´m in shock!

Hmm, I wild guess very wildly here but:



Could it be that this room (or the "I love you" room) is the large hydraulic press and they are trapped inside? (I still hope that devilish device from "The Engineer´s Thumb" could materialise in S4). 

Also



this reminds me of a Japanese horror "The Ring". Poor John - will he fare like Samara/Sadako here?

Must be a coincedence tho,,,

Not necessarily a coincidence.  The question is, what does it mean?

tumblr thinks he has to decide between shooting Mycroft or John

What I'm finding interesting at the moment is that in the first clip (sorry, no screengrab) we see John over Sherlock's right shoulder.  Then on the second we see Mycroft over Sherlock's other shoulder.  On the "I love you" scene (as I like to call it) they are both there, one on each shoulder.   It could certainly be a choice.   As he loves them both, we might not know in that moment (even when it airs) which one he is choosing. 

Anyway, I just wanted to say that having one on each shoulder makes me think of the idea of angels or devils/demons on your shoulder, influencing you and pulling you towards good or evil.   In this case, John is on Sherlock's right shoulder (angel), and Mycroft is on the left (devil), which I think fits with what we know about them, their role in Sherlock's life, and some foreshadowing.  I wonder if that will say something about the choice he is making. 

(This would make sense in mind palace too, as the angels and devils are aspects of the person).

Yes, he is facing toward us, and his voice is quite soft.  I still like the idea of him speaking to camera/intercom because it explains why he's (apparently) facing the wall, but he could also be talking to himself.

I had another thought about Mary too.  Her scene seems to go along with the scene in the previous trailer where she has dark hair.  She has blonde hair here, but it's unstyled, which makes me wonder if she has taken off a dark wig.  I thought the scene from the original trailer was going to be a flashback, but it's now looking more likely that it's current.  Which confirms (if we needed anything confirming) that she's not going to be playing happy families with the baby, but is going to be going out in disguise with a gun.  In fact, pretty much her old job of secret agent/assassin.  I can't see it ending well.

I'm still intrigued by her expression in that scene.

So I'm not the only person who thinks Sherlock looks a bit off colour

There is the clip with John looking up (maybe looking a little scared?), another one with an unknown man and Sherlock handing John a gun, a third where Sherlock has the gun and has his head in his hands, and finally the "I love you" one.  It's not clear what order they are in.   So I find myself desparately trying to make a story out of those four clips, like one of those children's games where you have to put the pictures in order.  Probably the most obvious answer is that they are already in order, but I'm just not sure. 

Someone om Tumblr tried to do just that, here are their thoughts:

It does!

And CP's reaction is interesting. Obviously they can re-colour things in post production... filters... lightening... she must know that 

I think so too. Benedict's own tan that they didn't cover up with makeup?

His complexion does look a lot more rough, not just the paleness and all... Obviously Benedict grew older and all, but they could have fixed that with makeup... 

And they would be that clever

Yes, the change was very obvious in HLV, but I think caring makes people look older too

One thing that has been bothering me is why Mycroft seems to be place higher in the shot with Sherlock holding the gun.   This is the one where he may or may not have shot him.  He could be shot and leaning against the back wall, but his head seems closer to the divider than it would be unless he was standing on something.  And John is missing. 

Looking at the clips in order again on your link Vhanja, I'm still not sure IF that scene shows Mycroft after being shot.  Sherlock makes his decision.  John is in shot just before he does it.  John moves out (if the shot of Mycroft leaning against the wall is after he has been shot), but then moves back in again for the shocked reaction.  The link you gave makes more sense, but I'm not sure about either.  What is happening in the Mycroft against the wall shot?  Why is he higher up?   It almost looks as if John is looking up from Mycroft's body at the end, but wouldn't Mycroft's body be more over to one side?   Unless he'd stepped forward, or stepped in front of John.
