Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

I would like to request a moment of silence so that we can somberly contemplate the fact that we are all so BLOODY EASY!!

LMAO   Yep.  One new Sherlock sentence drops from Ben's perfect lips and we are all on the floor.

Some of us may not survive Series 3!

Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

Since the first trailer was without any text these two sentences are the first we got from Series 3.
Therefore they deserve attention.

The expression "thrill of the chase" is not new. Sherlock already used it in ASiB when talking to Irene.

"Enjoying the thrill of the chase is fine. I sympathise entirely."

Agreed. Trying to watch the trailer in silence. ...Failing miserably. 
I would love to see Moffat and Gattis being really happy about the fact that we are at their mercy so much.. I bet they love it.

I rather think they do it for us. A bit of a sweet torture, isn't it?

Moffat and Gattis may be black hearted bastards but they are also pretty awesome dudes.

I'm with you, Dancing.  I did not hear sarcasm at all.  I heard sincere intensity in "you and me against the world" as he tries to get John to 'rejoin' him in the dangers and adventures. Whether this is because John wants nothing more to do with him after The Fall and all his attention is now on building a life with Mary or because a Sherlock really needs him 'back in the game' with help that only John can provide - not sure.  But for great drama there must be great emotional tension and conflict.  The stakes need to be high and I think they were giving a good hint of that.  Can't wait!

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

I got the impression that this is the moment when Sherlock wins John back. I didn't hear sarcasm at all,  just a highly emotional Sherlock laying his soul bare for John.

Excuse me while I hide from the world and cry now....

I would agree with that - and of course, I hope it'll be like that. Might have to do with the fact that I really don't want to see sarcasm of that kind between the boys after everything they both had to go through after Sherlock's 'death'.
But even if there should be sarcasm between them at that point... I suppose that's fine as long as they manage to resolve it in the very same scene or shortly afterwards. Would even make for quite a bit of pretty good drama, I guess.

I freaked out when I heard Sherlock's line. I know not the context.... But still. XD

To me this also seems to be the more likely version by now: Sherlock appealing to John during one of their first confrontations after the fall, bringing back their glorious days to him, would explain the intensity in Sherlock's voice and eyes.

That was my first impression, and after watching it a few more times (a few...hah ), I'm sticking with my first impression . Especially if the first part of that line "The thrill of the chase, the blood pumping through your veins" is a part of the same speech or scene as "The two of us against the world", it just seems to less likely be a mocking sarcastic response. It is hard to know when it's out of context like that, but still, my feeling is that it's at least not mainly sarcasm on Sherlocks part. I guess we'll find out when we see it! *screams some more*

I'm definitely in the "trying to convince John" camp.

Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

Yep, me too. And I think it's safe to say that John gives in. The adrenaline rush is what attracted him to the work in the first place, and it was why he stayed. Working with Sherlock gave him a new purpose in life.

Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

Is that Molly on the back of that bike?

It's certainly modern day London and it looks a lot like her scarf.

Could be Sherlock riding it - might be a bit too much Sherlock in the footage if that's the case but I'm perfectly happy with that.

Re: New Sherlock Footage Debuts

I don't know, but the way in which he says "The two of us against..." reminds me a lot of the way in which he says "The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!" in ASiP. Not a hundred percent, but very much. The more often I watch this, the less I am convinced it's sarcasm...

The difference between assure and assume it's rather large KK. Spoiler breaching large 

Are you still assuring or simply disagreeing?

Also, not in any harsh way, could you stop PMing me please - I won't respond and so it is a waste of effort at your end. Again, not in a harsh way, I just play to the galleries in my communiques.

Public opinion dictates what is acceptable and my errs receive more feedback that way.

Having read some spoilers, I think I can say It's not Molly

Not Molly. But as you don't like spoilers I don't think anyone in here will tell you who
