Why obssessive? It´s all in the interest of science, of course!

I'm sure I can think of something I need to buy there

But but but... they talk about CAM in the past tense and about Moriarty in the present tense:

He’s Irish, and he brings all his charm, his twinkle and his humor to it while he’s also terrifying. Magnussen was a very blank, chilling business man.

Was is an indication they think of Jim as alive? Was it a bluff? A double bluff?? LOL

Well we know that Andrew has filmed at least one scene for this series - whether it's Mind Palace, flashback or present day is yet unknown. Whereas Magnussen doesn't seem to be returning in any way. Maybe because Jim is fresh in their minds and is an ongoing element of the story - whether he's alive or dead - they refer to him in the present tense??

Sorry, a bit of a curved ball here: so Louis was in again?!

Yes there's a photo of her with a dramatic new shorter hairstyle. Do we think that is how she will appear in this episode? She had her longer hair in the first two didn't she?

Sorry, I did wonder if I had misunderstood.
I was talking about Louis Moffat.
But I see it was Loo Brealey who had tweeted.

It almost looked like a Sherlock wig to me, although maybe a bit too straight. I wonder if she's in disguise, or if she will morph into Sherlock in some way (mind palace?). This could have something to do with the backs of heads shots, and the people sitting in Sherlock's chair.

Yeah just saw the pic on the other thread: it's a stunner.

**Posted by Liberty** August 3, 2016 10:17 am

Kind of suits her too.

**Posted by besleybean** August 3, 2016 10:17 am

She's so beautiful anyway, but I just like short hair...on everyone!

Does somebody have a link or can post the pic? I'd love to see it.

not such big surprise that he is back but still nice

and I'm sure Wanda is back too.

**Posted by besleybean** August 3, 2016 9:04 pm

Yes!

**Posted by Liberty** August 3, 2016 9:06 pm

Ha ha, we posted at the same time on different threads! I loved Timothy and Wanda - delighted to see them back (if they're both back - I expect so). Also wondering if anything can be deduced from this. Probably not!

Yes and I was equally pleased on both threads!

If John's parents weren't dead, actors could be found to play them as well. As it is, they could still be found to portray the Watson parents in flashback sequences.

Do we really need John's parents?
Harry, we could use...
But I doubt we ever will.

**Posted by kgreen20** August 4, 2016 4:57 pm

Alive, no. It's not hard to guess that they're dead, so if they were to be shown at all, it would have to be in flashbacks. But I really would like to see the show reveal his childhood and something about his parents, as it did with Sherlock during Season 3.
