Attention: in this text is full of spoilers of the first series of the fourth episode "Sherlock". If you have not seen her yet, it is better to look at the beast .
The most shocking event of the “six Tetcher” was the death of Mary Morsten, the wife of John Watson, - she obscured Holmes, in whom a bullet flew.
Is it too surprised that many spectators remained unhappy with such a turn.
Mark Gatiss, one of the scriptwriters of Sherlock and, in particular, the author of the Six Tetcher script, believes that he acted correctly: “Mary has been dead for 100 years; In such circumstances, it is difficult to surprise people. The only thing we could do was arrange her death earlier than the audience expected, so that it was as painful and terrifying as in real life. ”
At the end of the series, Sherlock Holmes discovers the posthumous message of Mary. She says that she gives him the most difficult task - to save Watson. Holmes even turned to the psychoanalyst, trying to find out how to return his friend who was moving away from him.
However, after the final credits, we see another fragment from this message. In it, Mary says: "Go to hell, Sherlock." What is this? Have we seen the whole message, or other details remained behind the scenes? Maybe Mary said something about Moriarty?
In one of the scenes regarding family life, John jokes jokingly: "Is it too early for a divorce?"
It so happened that shortly before the filming of this series, Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington, playing John and Mary in Sherlock, broke up . Freeman and Abbington lived together 16 years, they have two children. “I'm not with Amanda anymore. This is very, very friendly [parting], I will always love Amanda, ”Freeman said.
Another plot turn that upset many fans: the villain Moriarty was not seen in the series. The situation is complicated by the fact that throughout the episode, Sherlock “feels” that his sworn (and dead) enemy is somewhere nearby and plans something, but the current plot is more prosaic: six Tatcher figurines are associated with the past of Mary, and the failure of her group, in turn, with an envious secretary.
By the end of the series, we do not know whether something Moriarty plans-and whether it will appear in future series.
In the “Six Tatcher” we see a strange episode with John Watson, who flirts with the stranger E - he met her on the bus. John and E corresponded for some time (it is unclear how long), then he tells her that this cannot continue, since he is not free.
But whether their connection ended on this, it is unclear: immediately after Watson scored a farewell message, he met the E at the stop, and they mysteriously smiled at each other.
Since in the episode with a stranger nothing is not clear, we can carefully assume that E will appear in the following series-and will be somehow connected with Moriarty. In addition, both Moriarty and E - the Irish.
In past episodes, we were hinted several times about Radberd - a dog that was at Sherlock in childhood and which he still remembers.
In “Six Tatcher” the protagonist, reinforced by Mary, sees a dream with two children and a dog - apparently, just with Radberd.
At the end of the series, when Sherlock finds himself in a psychoanalyst, it turns out that he constantly dreams of the same dream. Perhaps we are talking about the same dream with the dog? This probably means something, but so far nothing is clear.
In the final of “six Tetcher”, Microft Holmes comes home, looks into the refrigerator, and then finds a restaurant booklet on the door, under which a piece of “13th” is pasted.
After that, Microft calls somewhere and asks to call Sherrinford to the phone. And he even agrees to wait until he answers.
Sherrinford is almost certainly-the third Kholms brother that will appear in the second or third series of the season. But what does the “13th” mean? Why can't Microft call him directly? And what if Sherlock’s memories of the dog are also somehow connected with Sherrinford?
There are few blunders in Sherlock, but in the “six Tetcher” they still found one. In one of the scenes, Watson writes a post that he became a father. But attentive viewers noticed that in fact the picture “John Blog Page.jpg” was open to his entire screen.
At another funny moment, the attention of The Guardian drew the attention: “John Watson is a military, a person who respects the authorities that complies with the rules of decency. What the hell, let me ask, he leaves the London bus through the front door? "
The first episode of the fourth season of Sherlock was more popular than the Christmas appeal of Queen Elizabeth II. 8.1 million people watched the series in the UK.
Only the broadcast of the New Year's fireworks was more popular than the series - 11.6 million spectators.
And in the "six Tetcher", and in the cartoon "Zerolis" the villain were invisible secretaries. They are also somewhat similar to each other. Coincidence?
In the scene in which Watson meets E, sitting at the bus stop, you can see a banner with Kalverton Smith - one of the worst villains in the world of Sherlock Holmes.
And all because the next series, “Sherlock at Death”, is just about Calverton. Watch a tense trailer.
The second episode of the fourth season of Sherlock will be released late in the evening of January 8. In Russia, the Channel One will show it.
