BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)

Do you know, I was just thinking about that! I think you may be right. I will say that Sian looks younger than Benedict, so a little difficult to imagine as an older sibling (I'm sure somebody is now going to tell me that she's actually older and just looks young!). If she does end up being younger, then I imagine Sherlock was jealous (aren't most siblings?) and accidently harmed her.

I was thinking the other way around : Sherlock being harmed by Eurus, her poisoning Redbeard. Hence her being sent in an institution (Sherrinford ?)

But it looks traumatic AGAIN!

Yes, but Benedict makes Sherlock hurt so beautifully.

I think the arrogant detective will be gone by the end of the next ep (while the deducing reflex will remain) and a human human being will emerge from under all the dusty layers of old trauma.

As long as he survives!

Yeah, and John, too!

**Posted by besleybean** January 10, 2017 7:07 am

Indeed.

And Mycroft too !! Pretty please ??

Yes, I do not fear for Sherlock and John, but for everyone else I am not so sure. And Mycroft seems to he heavily featured in TFP, meaning he could be standing right in harm's way.

That's what I'm afraid of...

I agree, but I'm quite intrigued by the hints that this more of a Rathbone style episode, because Rathbone still had the arrogance and a kind of coldness. Maybe they're talking more about the style than the character.

Just the thought of it makes me sick.

Can't wait to see TFP but at the same time im dreading it. Because of what will happen in it and because of the usual hole we fall after a Sherlock series has ended.
And TLD was such a rollercoaster what will they do with us in TFP?!
To be honest I'm quite happy to watch it at home and not in a cinema, although that sounds amazing, but I usually like to be alone with something like that, it's the same with German world/euro cup football (soccer) games.

Sorry, just a personal shiver at the divine Sherlock even being mentioned in the same sentence as football!

**Posted by Ivy** January 10, 2017 7:52 pm

I'm so sorry for that shiver!

My hubby is worse: he will not allow sport on TV at all.
I at least like cricket!

I'm happy my friend is coming to watch it with me again (I really needed her and was happy she was there after TLD)... though there's a chance she can't come Sunday so we might have to wait until Monday...

I worry...

**Posted by ewige** January 10, 2017 10:06 pm

1000 km fewer and I'd be gladly holding your hand on Sunday, dear.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** January 10, 2017 10:16 pm

You're welcome!

I've got a roll of Ginger Nuts in the cupboard...
