Wait... is that a barrel? Is he looking through a barrel? Is Sherrinford holding the gun? Why are John and Mycroft just standing there? Is it Sherrinford saying the words, and Sherlock holding the gun?

So many thoughts in my head!

I have this theory that the 'I love you' is a tell... like the Vatican Cameos...

Sherlock lying on that table looks just like in TRF, doesn't he?

Where's the barrel? Can't see anybody looking thru a barrel :o

When Sherlock (?) says I love you, it looks like he's looking through a barrel, as if someone is pointing a gun at him.

I suspect it might be Sherrinford, though. His hair is shorter.

Thanks. But Jawn and Mycroft look just apprehensive and not alarmed...
The emotions are killing me. Good thing we got a funny snippet today to keep us from keeling over because of the undiluted angst.

I should be better at lip-reading considering I'm half deaf, and when sick go nearly deaf...

But looking at this gif I can't see his lips mouthing "I love you". What is he mouthing?

OMG!

Can anyone please bring me a shock blanket? This is too much.

*Hands out tea and whiskey*

I know I need it.

Molly is crying. Why is Molly crying? It's actually scarier than John in that water pit.

*grabs shock blanket and whisky*

Thanks, guys!

Seeing as John and Mycroft are looking so passive, could it be MP?

**Posted by ewige** December 10, 2016 9:17 pm

Just hearing Sherlock (?) saying the words makes me think that his emotional development has had a gigantic leap forward, no matter whether it's reality or MP.

*waits for Tumblr to explode*

**Posted by ewige** December 10, 2016 9:22 pm

If it's MP, then he's saying it to both John and Mycroft - probably believing that it's his darkest secret and the worst admission towards each of them?

This is something I told my boyfriend a while ago... and it's making the trailer so much worse for me.

"Saying 'I love you' basically means opening myself up to be hurt. It's like climbing onto the highest diving board you can find and close your eyes, knowing there's a big chance you're going to hit the surface wrong and it will knock the air out of you"

Anyways... I need another shot of whiskey.

And you know, Moftiss can't just drop such a bomb in the trailer and not deliver! Even if in not exactly the same situation, but I fully expect to see such emotional development in Sherlock as well as its consequences.

This trailer has got to be a mix of the three episodes, right? Are all the scenes with Mycroft going to be in The Final Problem? Or would they not show much of TFP at this stage? I'm wondering if that's Mycroft's house burning down. Pretty drastic!

The cell/bunker scenes could be The Lying Detective I suppose...

**Posted by Schmiezi** December 10, 2016 9:29 pm

I don't know what to say. It's too much right now. Good thing you are giving out shock blankes and alcohol, I surely need both now. And a hug maybe?

**Posted by Vhanja** December 10, 2016 9:30 pm

At first I thought the house burning was the Holmes cottage...

Who put John in a pit? And why?

I feel a bit like Sherlock - too many thoughts and ideas going through my head at once. My poor brain.
