OMG... I see... after the high of episode 2... a deep fall in episode 3. I am absolutely curious... and absolutely scared.

As much as I loved TSoT, knowing the writers...you could just tell that if they gave us something that character driven, that emotional, that something awful must be about to happen...I wish I was wrong 
 

Yeah... I know.
But isn't that what a "real" Sherlock fan wants??? I feel so... uncertain.

I definitely want it, that's for sure. After TEH and especially after TSoT I now need something more disturbing and heartwrenching again. Something that makes me go "What the Fu**???", something that has a deep impact.

I'm beginning to get extremely nervous about this episode, not that I wasn't excited before, but now it's just about 50 times worse, thanks a lot guys...

Well, as I said before the candy floss from "Sign of Three" just couldn't last, they were more or less preparing us for what is to come on Sunday.
But in a way I also like reading that our assumptions were all wrong. I hate it when things become predictable.

My feelings about this episode are already in such a turmoil, and I haven't even seen it yet!

Fortunately there is the chance of getting series 4 a lot sooner than I expected, which means a lot if things end the way I fear they will end after reading all the comments in here.

I think most people will be absolutely blown away by the sheer brilliance of this episode...especially lovers of the canon. And it will be one shock after another after another.

oh yes indeed. In at least 3 scenes I was literally whimpering Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god....out loud...Anderson must have heard me, he was sitting 2 rows back from me...

The only thing that concerns me so far is the "Molly is important" and comments about a rare pairing.  I seriously don't want to go down the Sherolly road.  But that is just my personal opinion.

I guess you meant Sherlolly 
I fear we won't see that happen, though. But seriously - would that be so negative?

That's also nothing like you'd think.  It's really done very well, and in a way that is absolutely brilliant.

Basically, don't expect ANYTHING from this episode...it will turn everything you are currently thinking on its head and twist it around into interesting shapes.

I'm absolutely intrigued now. I prepare myself to be heartbroken, but I wasn't exactly a fan of the first two episodes. As good as they were, It seemed... inadequate somehow after the dark and riddled TRF. Moriarty gave us a 'teeny glimpse' of the big, bad world out there. This had to be picked up on eventually.  And, whatever rift there will be between John and Sherlock, it can't be forever. That's one thing, I'm confident about....
Looking forward to Lars Mikkelsen.  They really just HAD to come up with the real formidable villain.

I think I should also mention that at the Q&A:

-Moffat literally told off a Guardian journo for implying that TEH had gotten bad reviews… he barked, you know it hasn’t, so shut up and don’t try to bait me into giving a response to that! (all the while sporting his evil half-grin) Cue huge applause from the audience.
 
- someone asked whether we will ever see baby Mycroft (as in, young Mycroft) ; Moffat said  it’s unlikely, as baby Mycroft would just be a CGI reduction of the actual Mycroft (complete with umbrella, I assume J)
 
- someone else asked how much of the stag do scene was scripted and how much of it was improvised. ‘Err, you know, it’s actually ALL scripted’ he said with a huge sneer. He did add though that the bit where Sherlock is supposed to introduce John and says instead ‘he is my….thing’ was actually a mistake from Benedict – he forgot his line – which Moftiss decided to keep as they thought it was perfect.
 
-remember when we thought that they gave us TEH and TSoT (in part) because they heard the fans and saw what they liked, disliked etc on Tumblr and in general online?  He said actually they don’t follow that, he only went on Tumblr once but everybody there hates him so he never went back, and he is in no way listening to a bunch of crazies online.  (Harsh). Though he loves the fans. He does.
 
-he admitted he LIES. HE LIES, ALL THE TIME. His words I think were ‘well, I am not really known for saying the truth usually, am I?’ (so maybe everything I’ve reported above was a lie, too )
 
If I think of anything else I will let you know.

Did the Moff, by any chance, tell the audience to blog that all our theories are WRONG? 

Sounds like the kind of thing he'd do. And it is what people have done. 

-Back in conspiracy mode.- 

He's messing with our heads!

And Magnussen is totally not behind me right now threatening me with a knife. But wait, no, he's not a killer.......

And how are we supposed to know you're telling the truth? 

(yep, definitely messing with our heads )
