TLD beginning sounds a lot like the ACD version. Holmes @ Watson having been apart a while and Mrs Hudson rushing to Watson with the tale of Holmes dieing of a tropical disease.

Yes, that would fit well with them falling out in TST - of course John would come running back if he thought Sherlock was fatally ill.   And I remember one of the descriptions of TLD suggested that Sherlock and John were working as a team against Culverton.   There's still that scene in the mortuary to explain, though - if it's actually real!
 

Oh dear!  Seven years bad luck!  I keep thinking that Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship is going to be a big deal and seems to keep being confirmed!

Yes. I have a horrible idea that John will unfairly blame Sherlock for the death of Mary or baby .
And that TLD might be about prooving different - Culverton.

But every time I see the punch I remember John has anger issues and always hears punch me in the face as subtext  when Sherlocks talking.

That picture is quite worrying

Hmm, they can't all start dying now, can they? I mean, this show has 8 regulars and there have been two deaths already (three actually if you count both Sherlock's fall and flatlining). Now it could be Mycroft or Mary or both but wouldn't that be a shade melodramatic? It's like, 50% of the show's population. I think Moftiss will find a new way to create drama.

I think they will, too, and I agree that killing off some of the main characters would be much too melodramatic.  And unless Mark Gatiss has decided that he no longer wants to play the role of Mycroft Holmes, his character will not be killed off, and I haven't heard that he's decided to quit that role.

Well, they would not tell us in advance if Mycroft died, would they?

I think they said they'd kill off Mycroft if the plot called for that.
Which tells us nothing at all.

I really don't know how I'd cope if someone in my family worked on the show and knew everything but couldn't say, although I think I'd end up bugging them so much they would end up telling me just so I left them alone! 

We're nearly there now though, we can do this!

The photos/clips of John/Martin with the baby are very cute and Sherlock really is constantly on his phone, he looks like a teenager at a family thing not at all caring what's going on around him haha. Do we think that's him tweeting?
 

"Impending baby" sounds a bit ominous, I know it can mean something that will happen soon but the first thing that comes to my mind is impending doom! Though maybe that says something more about me...
