Gold teeth man?

Gold Teeth Man? Hmm... sort of makes me think of James Bond in a way... but yeah...

And interesting thought about the portraits too

so the shooting might be some sort of target-practising? I do not think it is connected to Lestrade snippet in any case, the mood of the lighting seems much too different for me. Lestrade's gesture might be to calm someone down, a worked-up Sherlock or John perhaps.

The last thing I saw on Monday was Marks tweet with Hiddleston and the word "blud" then I went offline til now. I thought "oh the fandom esp. tumblr will go wild with "Hiddles is the third brother".

I didn't read anything regarding that here on the forum so far, I'm very proud of you not falling for Marks teasing.

Oh, I'm sure we all thought it was just a bit fun. And if he really was the other one, they wouldn't be spoiling it like that!

(So now they can happily pull the rug and say "we told you!").

Now, the exploding car ... I honestly don't know why, but I don't get the sense of one of the main characters dying in that car, unless it's one I haven't met yet. It's just a feeling and could be completely wrong. After all, it must have been an expensive scene so if they're going to pay for a blaze of glory you'd think they'd sent a major character out on it, rather than wasting it on a minor one. But I don't feel it. There could be a major character death, but that doesn't feel like it. Of course, I'm not used to the tone of S4 yet, and I might feel differently once I start watching it.

Yes. In the trailer, it seems to me there´s a standing and empty car, not the running car exploding....

On the other hand this could be reversed psychology once again. They know that the fandom wouldn't fall for it because the fandom thinks that Tom wouldn't be in it anyway. So with the fandom not really expecting it, it would be a better than ever twist to have Tom in it...
But yes, I know, that's wishful thinking talking here.

It would be beautiful if it was true... but let's wait and see

Maybe not a huge suprise, but actually the snippets of setlock and the promo pic of Sherlock and the dog looked lighter in tone to me than the other episodes. So if this one is shocking, what on earth are Eps 2 and 3 going to be like?

**Posted by nakahara** July 29, 2016 7:25 am

Well, the sight of John carrying pink, rabbit-eyed baby during a chase was more shocking for me than any villain´s shenanigans, tbh...

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2016 7:25 am

Yikes.... *gulps and sweats*

**Posted by besleybean** July 29, 2016 8:10 am

Personally I assumed 'blud' would refer to Corialanus, but wish it was Sherlock!
'Shocking' I can cope with!

The woman hold the key to Sherlock´s mind palace?
Why I am not suprised....

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2016 10:04 am

Curious... I can just see the fanfics coming out of that one drawing

By Tardis key, Rachel is probably reffering to some issue from the past that will relive in our current times and haunt Sherlock´s mind palace.
I wonder if Liberty was right the other day and if it will be some love interest from the past as was the case in "Young Sherlock Holmes".
If that happens, I would be very surprised because "Young Sherlock Holmes" didn´t made it seceret that the protagonist is in love with his female classmate. They established a sweet romance between the two right at the beginning of the movie...
...while "our" Sherlock Holmes-women-are-not-my-area established very early on that women are not his thing.

Or could the mysterious woman be a sister, the other one?

**Posted by nakahara** July 29, 2016 11:10 am

Haha, really?

Poor Reetu....

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2016 11:24 am

Oh my, poor her!

Btw, Rachel didn't make that picture though... Entertainment Weekly did... so I'm trying not to put too much into it

**Posted by ewige** July 29, 2016 11:37 am

Thanks for the explanation!

Re: current mood:
I wonder whether they are still shooting that "Tuesday big scene"... :D

**Posted by besleybean** July 29, 2016 11:46 am

Love it.
