Mary. She obviously knew she was going to die. So she died in a way that would make her death count. WE’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
And remember what Sherlock couldn’t figure out about the Carmichael murder? Why would Lady Carmichael involve Sherlock in a murder that she intended to commit?
And when Eustace died, do you remember what Lady Carmichael (the apparent murderer) said? “You promised to keep him safe, you promised!” Just like John said in the shark tunnel. But Lady Carmichael’s was an act.
THE ENTIRE CARMICHAEL CASE WAS FORESHADOWING FOR SERIES 4.
John is involved in this, somehow.
If we’re getting reichenbach parallels, it might just be that John is having to destroy Sherlock by going along with Mary/Moriarty’s plans in order to keep him safe in the long run.
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE.
Exactly. It’s hugely important that we don’t always see things from John’s pov anymore. It means he can hide things from Sherlock and so also us the viewers. And we know John is pretty damn smart.
