Steven Moffat is a cruel black hearted bastard.
And I kindof love him for that...........

And I think most of us feel the same way...it's why he, and Mark Gatiss, can get away with all the evil-genius-messing-with-us-teasing they do

Thanks very much, Moffat.

Oh ho Moffat...there will be hell to pay, by many Sherlock fans, if you end the series by leaving us hanging

Hm, maybe Mary is murdered and John's last vow is to find her killer?

**Posted by besleybean** July 20, 2013 10:08 am

Good one.

My favourite new theory for the ending:

John, Sherlock and Mary are all on a case together.

They are trapped by a bad guy, and John is given a gun, forced to choose whether to kill Mary or Sherlock. He just stands there, looking from one to the other.

Then he asks if he kills himself, will he let them both live. The bad guy says yes. So, John turns the gun on himself.

Sherlock leaps on him, knocking his arm out the way. The gun goes off. Mary is shot and collapses on the floor. John runs over to her. It's too late. She dies in his arms, blood all over the place.

Sherlock is standing by, awkwardly watching and unsure what to do. Eventually, when John isn't moving and is just continuing to hold her and cradle her, sobbing, he goes forward and gently pulls him away, the sound of ambulances getting closer. John reluctantly lets her go and stands up. Sherlock wraps his arms around him and they silently hug.

John makes a vow to his dead wife that he will have vengence on her killer, who has since vacated the premises.

He and Sherlock manage to track him down but it all ends badly in a Three Garridebs type scenario where John is shot, but worse than just a flesh wound as in the story. It's touch or go whether he will live or die and Sherlock is faced with the prospect of losing his best friend for good.

The End.

I like that idea. Would be a cliffhanger and maybe we could try to solve the case while waiting for the next series if we got some clues.

Uhhh, this would be a truly heartbreaking cliffhanger, but not an entirely impossible one, I fear.

That's really interesting. I'm sure Moftiss must be planning to keep us guessing until series 4 and give us hidden clues and a problem(case) to solve. Keeps the fans talking (agonizing) over the show.

Gah! It's only 7am, why you make me cry like this so early??? Even so, something like this feels likely, and certainly just heartbreaking enough for Moffat.

**Posted by SusiGo** July 23, 2013 12:08 pm

What are you doing to us, Boss? Crying at two in ther afternoon.

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** July 23, 2013 1:32 pm

Oh God, have I given everyone feels?

Mwahahahaha *evil Moffat laugh*

Definitely. I bet she created this forum only to build up confidence until we were ready to follow her anywhere so she can destroy us. Evil thing.

**Posted by SusiGo** July 23, 2013 2:23 pm

I think she's the new super villain of series 3.
