Louis Moffat was also the boy who was scared and counting down on the phone with Sherlock in The Great Game. But i guess that is common knowledge in here.

I think and this is just speculation. It might be Lestrade. Killing off Sherlock, would be in my opinion, a massive mistake as they have other series signed and flashbacks wouldn't really be as entertaining. Didn't Moffat say some people will cheer some will cry, so surely it can't be Holmes as I think everyone would be disappointed. With one of the supporting characters, if they go out as a hero some people would think it was a great ending others would be sad.
Mycroft seems too obvious from the trailer Mary too obvious as she dies in books canon. Watson, is possible but I can't see it. I hope it's not Lestrade as he's my second favourite character. |

I hope it isn't Molly but Sherlock kissing her on the cheek, seemed like a goodbye, as they walked away

And Mycroft is far too important to the logistics of this show, he constantly "feeds" his brother clues and back-up that no-one else would have access to. I'm sticking with the boring answer - it's Mary. |

BIB - if that's what he said (and what he meant, he is after all well known for putting people on the wrong foot) then surely it cannot be Lestrade? He's hugely popular as far as I can tell. Who would cheer at his death?

Totally agree, which is why a second viewing of these 2 episodes was far more satisfying for me than the first time around.
![]() Sorry for how clumsily I wrote the sentence of mine you quoted. I'm surprised that anybody understood it at all as it was so badly written by me. My excuse is that it was late and I was tired. |

For it to be a shock, the character has to be one of the main ones, so that rules out characters such as Tom, Anderson and the policewoman.
I'd go for Molly, because: Sherlock is the whole reason for the show. It relies on his personality. Without him there cannot be a show. Lestrade, Mycroft and Mrs Hudson are integral to Sherlock stories. Mary (and her child) would be too upsetting. And it cannot be Watson. He is integral to the Sherlock stoies. It's unthinkable to kill Watson. It would be like the Batman writers killing off Robin - it could never happen. |

And the hero of the day - this particular time - may not be Holmes at all I suspect. |

Why did Sherlock call Lestrade for help, when Sherlock has so many people that he could choose from?

It must be Mary because of the horns.
Also her name is an anagram of Mr Astronomy - random and almost certainly nothing to do with anything lol |

(I know Mary is already killed off but John remains married to various different Mrs Watsons throughout the stories so the Mary character could fulfill that role) (I also remember Louise Brealey putting a photo on her Twitter of her lab coat with "goodbye Molly Hooper" on it at the end of filming and when everyone freaked out said "no, I only meant until next series! " - now I don't know what to think )

![]() I thought this highlighted the fact that Lestrade is usually inept at his job, as far as we see, with his involvement in crimes with Sherlock Holmes anyway - both in terms of this adaptation and how ACD wrote the character of Inspector Lestrade. Also, in so far as this particular scene goes, Sherlock lacks awareness of what is important to other people, and he can be locked in his own thoughts for hours on end without any awareness of what is going on elsewhere. Hence Sherlock's 'I didn't put you to any trouble, did I?' to Lestrade when Lestrade drops everything and comes dashing over to Baker Street - with the sounds of sirens and police helicopters overhead in the background. ![]() Like I say, just my interpretation. This scene could have meant something else entirely. |

Lestrade trusts Sherlock as previously maybe Lestrade doubted Sherlock but with time they have got each other through the problems with puzzling cases by helping each other and maybe it was Sherlock's way of trying to save Lestrade from something. Maybe one day Lestrade will be in the right place at the right time for Sherlock.
