I do agree with you guys, I don't like everything being MP either. I prefer as little MP as possible. Not that I mind it, but I want stuff to happen in real life for the most part.

Good point about TAB, Kgreen20.  I think I've been getting the feeling that they are always giving more time to mind palace and making it more complex, and more integral to the plot.   But of course TAB was a one-off, and there's no reason why we shouldn't see less mind palace than in S3 this time.  I think it depends how much they like using it. 

It would be very misleading to show us mind palace in the trailer.  Maybe not us, so much, as everything that comes up, we're thinking "mind palace"!  But for general viewers, some of whom might not have even watched the series up until now.  But they might want to deliberately mislead. 

I'm happy with some mind palace.  But I'd like the "I love you" scene to be real, rather than mind palace, even though it looks mind palacey.  I'll feel a bit cheated if it's not real. 

Hey guys, I don't venture here very often at the moment because.... seriously?
I think everybody here knows my opinion on the mary-baby-coolnewteam-stuff and... I'm just preparing myself for the possibility that they will go for this. I read a lot abot the extended mind palace theory and I actually see nothing endearing in this newspaper ad nor in the new promo pics or a trailer full of baby stuff but... at the momet I honestly think they will go for this. Mary will roost for exactly nothing, the baby will be real, John is a happy dad and Sherlock is a baby to be mended and be joked about. And for those who think Mary will be dealt with by the end of TST: Amanda is confirmed for the second episode as well on imdb. And her name on the new poster right after the two boys does not exactly fit her into the row of supporting characters, does it? Plus she still seems to be the one among the actors to do PR and stuff. So, I think this could actually be real, she's in the inner circle of trust and among the circle of friends with Molly, Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson. Her shooting Sherlock does not count, I don't think.

I didn't say anything about uncle Sherlock but obviously there will be some sort of baby shower,

birth in the tunnel, christening and Mary on the run in Morocco

. All I said that we might actually get some Warstan happiness and Mary not as an assasin but miraculously turned into a secret agent working for the side of the angels. And we get a birth anouncement in a real newspaper and promo pics that are promoting what has exactly nothing to do with "Sherlock" anymore.

Yes, we clearly do.
I repeat, I was not talking about uncle Sherlock her, I did not see anything of that either.
But I think there was baby in the last trailer? Who is Mary holding at the baby shower then? Who are Lestrade and John talking about, chatting about "fatherhood"? It is there. And of course you cannot ignore it, I never said so. But why pushing it all so hard lately? And about the happiness: what about the happiness of the main character who already sold his soul last season for the happiness of basically everyone else?
 

Mrs house, I think you are confusing the 2nd Trailer with the Colbert exclusive clip? 

Mod's note: Please not that this thread is for official promo ONLY. So please not setlock discussions in here as long as there is no spoiler warning. 

On tumblr someone pointed out that the most disturbing thing in the trailer is that Mycrofts top button is undone. I must say that irritates me, too. Actually since I first saw the trailer. There's definitely something bad going on. 

 

Martin's brother is curious as well … 

Well she said "he(he)" in her response so it's a clue that it's not a woman he loves. LOL.

But seriously, while I would love nothing better than Sherlock saying that to John, I don't see it happening.  Or to Molly either.  When I watch this I feel that for Sherlock to actually say those emotional words, he's had to make some sort of terrible choice, or his actions are leading to something dreadful, and someone or something is sacrificed due to that choice. I'm going to guess it might be his parents.
