Okay. All shower fans please go to the OTHER thread. And we will put this topic back on track. 

Yes, I consider it a serious problem, changing the character of the show way too much. This is a grownup-show, I love babies and children in their respective movie or TV appearance BUT NOT HERE!

You can mark this day in your calendar, bb. 
I was being funny, too. It is strange how The Topic always comes up. 

It might be a problem to integrate it into the show. And it would be the biggest deviation from Canon so far. 

Schmiezi - I can only imagine that they tried to make it as difficult as possible for the boys to reunify in Baker Street. Dramatic licence and all that. Or to make Mary more ambivalent, harder to dislike/kill/dispose of? I am not really happy with that decision but that goes for many decisions about Mary's character. I have to accept them and hope for better times.

Sorry to bring ths up again but to me it seemd that he channeled his romantic feelings into something other than John and Mary having a baby. For me the dancefloor scene is the only moment between John and Mary I would call even remotely romantic. 
 

Not sure about that. Because in HLV we see that neither of them is really happy, and this even before the shooting and all that. And it seems that for some months John preferred not to do conversation with his pregnant wife. 

Yes, but in the end, this scenario wins. Remember the Christmas scene which is considered as ultimately romantic, and John and Mary at the tarmac embracing and holding hands in the end. And it's stressed further by Mary's clothes and makeup, this bright red which does not really go along with the rest, speaking in pictures.

Which is just how they want us...

Oh, tonnaree, sweet innocent you...

Is my halo slipping?

Again, I'd like to come up with the question of WHY it exists.

And I don't mean "Because of sex". I mean, why did the writers decide to include it first place? Surely not to lead to being no problem, because they could have "no problem" without it. Ideas?

This.

The writters must have a plan, because they knew that a baby would change dramatically the balance in 221b. My question is also Why and how they will deal with this.... 

They could have made Mary to misscariage and so to becaome loads of sympathy and support. But they go with the baby, so this is for me the only thing i cannot speculate how it would possibly go.

Yeah, this is the question I'm interested in too. I was talking about this at a Sherlockian meet up the other day, and we were all wondering why they chose to do it....because obviously it would have been a lot easier to kill her off if she hadn't had a baby. We were hoping they do actually have some kind of plan and haven't just written themselves into a corner because they wanted the "sign of three" gag.
