s03e03 — His Last Vow

Is this a three-year break between seasons? Oh, what a nightmare.

two actually)

.. You had a math class at school.
On the fingers: Season 3 was released in January 2014, season 4 will be released in January 2016.
2014-2015 is the first year, 2015-2016 is the second year. Where did you find the third one, where is the space-time crack?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_(TV_series)#Series_4
in the 2016 season.

as I heard, season 4 in 2016 is in December, not January. This is the special in January. then it will be almost 3 years.

special in December 2015

@ta_petite_amie: In the skies of Trenzalore!

@Toxic: "special" is considered the beginning of season 4. It turns out that 2.

@viperello: '-alert()-'

@ta_petite_amie: Season 4 aired in January 2017 - exactly 3 years after the 3rd and a year after the second season.

and where does the information about the special come from and where to look for it?

@little_eeyore: I doubt anyone had the sense to release a CHRISTMAS special in the SUMMER. It's probably just a rumor.

this sherlock speaks in english (even british english), so don't speak russian or don't forbid others to speak in the language that they want

speak _in_ the language
speaks _in_ english lol)))
Please, speak Russian! I hope you know it better than English)))

Why on Earth would I do that? It's so funny and easy to pull your strings, when your responses are so predictable. BTW, brooms are highly overrated! As for me, I drive a car, you know, all those goodies like front seats and steering wheel heating make it a much better choice as compared to a broom. But how could you know that, right? Considering the fact that you still use your broom as means of transportation.
Well, we've gone totally off topic, so I'm going to unfollow this thread. And note that I generously let you have the last word in our friendly discussion.

What the world has come to, you can no longer speak the language you want.

You are mistaken. You can, people say.

就开始说中文吧!

-Watson "The less Sherlock the better" KinoPoisk(R). But I think that there should be a lot of Sherlock and more often than the series.
But it seems that even Watson agrees with your logic, but somehow 2016 is still a long way off.

Believe me, it's closer than you think. But yes, I would like at least a couple more episodes.

@dolockin: The special is considered the beginning of season 4.

Согласен)

@PEPSI: дом 2

Ага, совсем слегка

@Marilynson: I meant more

And where exactly, I missed something;)))

@standinecco: дело не в длине, а в британии, у них всегда сезоны маленькие

@Evil_Junk: аргументируй

@Evil_Junk: Так что же ты аж под 3 сезоном коммент оставляешь?! Мог бы и на просмотре первого остановиться)

Иди ка ты в баню, дебилоид.

@Harry95: @Рынха: @Tsukki: да, сериал супер, я думал режисеры дали четкий ответ или есть объяснение этому.

@little_eeyore: at least during the waiting period, they still have more time at their disposal to finalize the plot and eliminate nuances, which, in fact, their colleagues in other series cannot boast of))

@Cassiddy: Моффат, к примеру, занят Доктором. так что не стала бы заявлять, что годами сценаристы пишут сценарии...

@diru_renjaa: you might think that one Moffat pulls two TV series)) He's not the only one doing Doctor Who, there's a whole group of screenwriters and authors. The same story with Sherlock, besides him, Gatiss also works))

@Cassiddy: Would you please show me where I said he was the only one pulling 2 TV series?
About the doctor: he's not alone, of course, but he's the showrunner, so everything goes through him.
Sherlock also has Thompson, by the way.
But back to what I said about Moffat. although he is lying liar who lies, he stated at this sdcc that he was personally busy writing the Doctor and the writers of Sherlock season 4 had not even started writing yet. Although they all know what they want and what they're going for, and they promised to rip out our hearts and trample them into the mud. I won't remember the exact wording, but that's the point.

@sociolog_melvas: I agree, you can expect everything from Moffat.

@waybaytreb: смотрю, вас тоже минусят)

@89857428244: Так оно и есть) может на сайте с плеером какой-то баг был
А возможность редактировать/удалить комментарий по-моему тут отсутствует
Или я просто плохо искал :D

@kate_kumko: thank you for coming to such a pearl) it's just 3.14brain cells)
The year is 2025, and everyone blames these evil Americans))))

Interesting facts and notes about the series

* At 4*01 in the news, you could see in the running line that Magnussen was being called to Parliament.
*In this episode, we learn that Mary doesn't live under her real name. During the wedding reception at 3*02, The Song "December, 1963" by Frankie Valli is heard, the words of which are "Oh, what a night/ you know, I didn't even know her name/ but I was never going to be the same/ what a lady, what a night."(What a night. You know, I didn't even know her name, but I'll never be the same again. What a lady, what a night.)
* the series became the most discussed episode of a Drama Series on Twitter in the UK.
* Young Sherlock is played by Louis Moffat, son of screenwriter/co-creator Stephen Moffat and his wife, TV series producer Sue Verche. He was the voice of the boy in the stage in the gallery at 1*03.
* Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and screenwriter Stephen Moffat won an Emmy Award for this series.
* According to mark Gaitis, screenwriter of the series and performer of the Macroft role, Mycroft said, "As my colleague likes to notice, this country sometimes needs a blunt tool. This is how James Bond was described by his boss M in the performance of Judah Dench in the movie "Casino Royale". And suddenly bond and Sherlock – in the same reality?
* Lars Mikkelsen was offered by producer Sue Verche. He recorded an audition video of him urinating in his shed. He was also filmed at the time in a film that takes place in East London and acquired a London accent, as a result, he was asked to return his native Danish...
* Magnussen was originally supposed to be an American, while retaining the original character's last name (Milverton), but for Mikkelsen's sake, Moffat replaced the character's nationality and first name. He found the name " Magnussen "on a Danish name site, in search of something similar to"Milverton".
* The post-credits scene in C Moriarty should have been longer, but Gatiss recommended shortening it to tease viewers.
* Moffat was accused of misogynism for stealing the bookish female character who killed Milverton in the original story. He responded to criticism with his opinion about the story: What if it was Watson and Holmes who killed Milverton, and the female character was invented by Watson himself, because the story is told from his first person, suddenly he is an unreliable narrator (unreal narrator).
*When John takes iron from a car at the beginning of the series before entering a drug addict's home, you can see a billboard with old and new ads behind him. If you read them together, you'll get "information is power." The villain of the series uses information on others for the sake of blackmail.
* According to Mycroft, Sherlock considers himself a "Dragon-slayer", which amuses Sherlock. Filming of the season was partially delayed due to the filming of "The Hobbit", where Watson was Bilbo Beggins, and Sherlock was the dragon Smaug. .
* The plane that was supposed to take Sherlock into exile has a Danish registration code (OY). And the helicopter that Sherlock and John flew to Magnussen, has the same Reg. the code is the same as the helicopter Mycroft flew in later.
* When Magnussen scans parliamentarians at the beginning of the series, we see that lady Smallwood's name is "Alicia." In all the subsequent scenes, when it comes to names, it's "Elizabeth."

2/3
* Among the congratulations that Sherlock read at the wedding in the last episode was Magnussen: "It's a pity that your parents can't see this day." Mary felt a little nervous.
* The action takes place on Christmas Day (December 25th), but the trees are full of leaves.
* The red letters in the end credits form MILVERTON, Magnussen's name in the original story.
* References to "The Dark Knight": Watson says he's used to a better class of criminals (a better class of criminal), the same phrase the Joker used when talking about his vision of Gotham. Before shooting Magnussen, Sherlock says, "I'm not a hero." Batman said the same thing to himself before taking responsibility for Two-Face's actions.
T.R.: The Rebirth of Legend: Mycroft described Magnussen as a "necessary evil." That's the same phrase Bane used when talking about himself.
* The font in Sherlock's chambers of mind matches the font used on the London underground.
* The fake house/facade at Lenister Gardens: In the 1930s, there was a case where a crook sold a couple hundred tickets to a charity ball. The deception was not revealed until the guests arrived in ballgown and discovered that the house was not real.
* The story of the cannibal from whom Sherlock won the building is funny, considering that the villain is played by Lars Mikkelsen, his brother is Mads Mikkelsen, with whom Bond played cards at Casino Royale, who later played the cannibal Hannibal Lecter. Two years later, in the movie Doctor Strange, the main character is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, which is funny when you consider that his Sherlock here does not consider himself a hero and kills the character of Lars Mikkelsen, and in Strange he played a doctor who became a superhero and must save the world from the villain played by Mads Mikkelsen.
* Hints of the "Hobbit:
John/Bilbo looks closely at the ring; Sherlock/Smaug criticizes John/Bilbo's thieving skills; Sherlock/Smaug detects the intruder's identity by scent, but is mistaken; Sherlock and Mycroft are talking about dragons.
* The staircase in Sherlock's chambers of mind, along which he runs up and down, is the same one that was in the hotel where the 4th victim was found in 1*01
Magnussen flicks John's face with his middle finger.
* At the beginning of the episode, Magnussen scans Deputy Garvey. Later in the episode, when Sherlock and John enter Magnussen's office, there is a TV report about the resignation of a deputy due to corruption allegations...
* Charles Magnussen is a "chess player", a strategist. The Scandinavian chess champion is called "Magnus Carlsen". The second name "Augustus" can be considered a sign that he thinks highly of himself, considers himself Augustus, the Roman emperor.
* "The East Wind" is taken from the original stories. In "His Last Bow" (1917), this is a hint of the impending German threat and the First World War.
Magnussen is very similar to the book version of Moriarty. More than the serial Moriarty.
* Magnussen and hints of influence on the British Prime Minister are a reference to newspaper magnate Rupert Murdoch (he owns many yellow presses, some of which have been accused of wiretapping celebrities. A journalist from 2*03) and British Prime Minister David Cameron worked for his newspaper. Here is the title of a 2012 TASS article: "David Cameron did not make deals with Rupert Murdoch in exchange for Tory support in the 2010 general election. At the same time, Cameron admitted that he had contacts with media executives during the pre-election period."
By the way, when Janine sold her story to newspapers, none of them belonged to Murdoch.

3/3
* During the filming of the season, actors John and Mary were a couple in real life.
* Amanda Abbington (Mary) said that until she was given the script for the series, she was unaware of Mary's dark past, and that she would have played the character differently in previous episodes.
* In the deleted scene, after Sherlock is shot, but presumably before the scene with Janine, Magnussen visits Sherlock at the hospital, who is barely conscious, tired and on medication. Magnussen takes Sherlock's hand in his, kisses it and compares it to the hand of an artist "or a woman." He apologizes for the wetness of his hand and says coolly: "You'll get used to it." He gets closer to Sherlock, almost within kissing distance, and explains why he didn't turn Mary in to the police and asks Sherlock to do the same. Sherlock loses consciousness, Magnussen leaves.
