I feel like this post is kind of obligatory now.

1- Last season's cliffhanger was resolved by the Bee Gees.

2- When the Doctor did the exact same thing last year, it was a freaking robot with a tiny doctor inside.

3- The Bee Gees and a freaking robot. These guys can do cliffhangers, but they can't do decent payoffs to save their lives.

4- I have come to the conclusion that I don't care how he did it at all. Because it's going to be lame and anticlimatic. Yes, they're going to address the issue in the next episode, but I hope it'll take just a couple of minutes so that we can get to the really important stuff.

5- Which is, Sherlock's and John's reunion, how they'll save Sherlock's reputation, and hopefully, Sebastian Moran.

6- If I see another how-Sherlock-did-it post on tumblr that involves the Pythagorean theorem, I swear somebody will get thrown out of a window.

I'm going to use this opportunity to say that I'm sorry that this blog has turned into a BBC Sherlock blog. I have other stuff happening in my life, I swear. Like, today I got a new haircut, and dyed my bangs fuchsia, and the guy at the comic book store asked me if I was going punk and that made me grin like an idiot for a whole hour. :D

Don't be sorry! I have so many feelings about Sherlock and I'm glad I can talk to you about it, lol. (:

I'm worried they might resolve it in an annoying way but I think it can't be something like the resolve of last season's final. I mean they have to explain the body and how it wasn't Sherlock.

I'm worried that John will get married. ):

What's certain is it's not going to be something overly complicated like everyone's thinking it to be. It's going to be stupid. We should just accept it, and move on to something else. Like guessing the three cases they'll adapt. I don't have preferences, but I do want Moran to make an appearance. *____*

I'm not that worried about John being married, because that would be too complicated. They'd have to kill her off, like in the books, but then in a modern show they should address the topic of him being a widower, and all the emotional side to it, and it would take too much time away from the focus of the story.

I didn't know she dies in canon. Which story does it happen in?

In canon Watson is married during A Scandal in Bohemia but in the show in the adaption of that story he is not, so they can get him married and not kill her off to suit themselves.

I read an article with Moffat or Gatiss, don't remember who, where they said they might get him married. In 201 John says that they're not a couple and Irene says that they are a couple. Then he says he isn't gay and she says that she is and John doesn't answer. It seems that he kind of understands that he and Sherlock are indeed a couple, whether they are sexually attracted to each other or not. Also Martin said in an interview that their relationship is kind of a love story.

So, it seems that John wouldn't get married because he's already in a relationship, but if he thinks that Sherlock is dead and a long time have passed since his death than he might get married. /: I hope so though that he'll be too attached to Sherlock to get married in the time until Sherlock comes back.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I don't remember the story, but she disappears pretty quickly and then they're back to living together in 221b, so it must be pretty early in the canon.

I completely agree on the relationship thing, but I don't think John would get over Sherlock so quickly. There has to be a long grieving period, and it's not the best frame of mind to find new potential partners. I think John's depression got it covered. Especially if they plan to keep them separated only for a year, like I hope, covering the real life hyatus, and not three years.

[scruby.livejournal.com]

Uhhh, I like that she disappears quickly.

I agree. In canon it's three years but I hope in the show it'll be less. If a year passes until John finds out that Sherlock is alive than I think it'll be quite out of character for him to get married. He lost the most important person to him in the world and it'll probably be hard for him to put his heart on the line again. I don't see him getting into a relationship for along time after the death. If he eventually gets into a relationship in the time until Sherlock revels that he's alive, then it'll probably take a long time until he gets married with that person. So yeah, it would make a lot of sense for him to get married after a year.

If Sherlock comes back after a year, or even two years, and they get him married in that time that would be really annoying.

We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

I hope we'll get more scenes with Molly, I loved her! And to think she has to keep Sherlock's secret, because she obviously helped him fake his own death, she's so amazing. *________*

[scruby.livejournal.com]

She is. I feel so sorry for her because Sherlock has been so horrible to her. During that scene where Sherlock tells her she's probably meeting a guy later because of the present, the way she's dressed etc and then he sees the gift is for him I cringed a lot. She is a very strong person.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I hated that scene, I had never wanted to slap Sherlock so much until that moment. But then we had the third episode, and their scenes were so perfect, I even forgave him for being such a dick to her all the time.

Man, I need a Molly icon.

[scruby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love the interaction between them in the third episode. He's so surprised by what she says to him. He sees that that woman, who he hardly gives the time of day to, sees so much about him. I loved how surprised he was.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I definitely need a Molly icon.

[les-lenne.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the real thing will probably be disappointing us all. As long as they don't go the "he used drugs that made him cry, trololol" route which is such a popular theory amongst all sorts of fans, I don't even care what happened.

I just want a reunion with John kissing beating Sherlock up and then a new case. Too bad I don't know that many Sherlock Holmes stories, so I can't guess! D: Maybe that dancing stick figure story?

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I'd love to have that one too! And Sebastian Moran, so we can have lots of nice flashbacks with Moriarty. I'm not ready to let go of him yet, he was such a GREAT villain. ;_;

[les-lenne.livejournal.com]

This is kind of embarrassing, but I don't know what this Sebastian Moran stuff is about. >//>
YES. Andrew Scott did such a fantastic job and I'd absolutely hate to not see him again.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Simply put, he's to Moriarty what John Watson is to Sherlock Holmes. That's why we all want him so badly. This fanartist (http://reapersun.tumblr.com/) put him in a few comics, and until we get new episodes, this is my head canon. ;)

Moran was in the new Sherlock Holmes movie by Guy Ritchie too, now that I think about it. I need to watch that movie again.

[les-lenne.livejournal.com]

OHHHHH. Then I want to see him, too. *A*

Haven't seen that one yet. Mom doesn't like action movies. She thought it'd be scary and bloody. XD

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a bit of blood in it, mostly a turture scene that, yes, could be scary for her. Well, that's what torrents are for. ;)

Dvds. I meant dvds.
