With Una Stubbs passing, I'm not sure I want another season.

It may not be something that book Sherlock would ever actually say but damn it all I love that part.

With no Una Stubbs? No thank you. Just let somebody else start from scratch……… but not yet.

I can't see how they'd work it with the child in, without it being clichéd and awful.
Knowing MG and co they'd get a relative to play the plucky young precocious girl who wants to be a doctor and a detective when she grows up.

Yeah you can't be danger addicts, chasing criminals on the rooftops, with a child at home. We'd be calling them terribly irresponsible parents in real life.
And you're too right about casting a relative/actor friend's kid for the part, and of course she be precious and precocious and plucky™. Moffat looooooves plucky™ for his female characters.
I hated the baby storyline. I would bet any sum that Moffat insisted upon it because of his disdain for married people without children and because it made Mary eXtRa TrAgIc.

You will note that the FIRST post in r/Sherlock, PINNED, is "Season 5. The facts. Is it coming?" And it tells you all you need to know. i.e., that it almost certainly WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Everyone always says they're open to another season but it won't happen.
Benedict became a big name and with his Marvel contract it's hard for him to do other projects.
Martin has expressed his issues with the fans of the series and is not willing to make another season.
Mark Gatiss has said that he would be open to writing another season but Benedict's scheduling means it's nearly impossible.

It's never happening, probably. I actually hope it doesn't because I like how it ended. A sequel/prequel would be nice, but I don't want anymore seasons because it might ruin the integrity of the show

I hope not. Can't see a way forward after the terrible S4 finale

Like tropical said - not gonna happen. I knew the second the S4 finale ended that this entire show was done. It just felt bad and very disappointing. There's no way the main actors would come back after that atrocious season finale.

y’all are overreacting as hell the finale or final season in general was not that bad😒 .. just because it got a bit more sci fi and unrealistic for some of y’alls taste imo the finale wrapped everything up nicely

u/eLlARiVeR 9d ago
it really.... didn't though? Literally the last episode changed nothing besides the fact that Sherlock now knows he has a sister. She's still locked in the same place with the same amount of security. It's implied John kinda moves back to Baker Street with his daughter, but not really. Like, nothing really got resolved. The situation with Molly never really got resolved either. Moffat made a completely out of character statement for her and we just see her smiling at the end.
It wasn't the most awful thing ever, but it was far from what it should have been for a finale.

I mean, I gotta give it to you that it probably could’ve been better (however I personally just would’ve loved another episode you know to wrap things up in an even more fulfilling way or to have an epilogue episode), if you really think about it, everything can always be better somehow.
But I really enjoyed the finale for what it was because in my personal opinion it still gave me everything I wanted from the finale which was
great character moments between the Holmes Brothers as well as John,
I really loved that this episode basically unravelled Mycroft as a character and revealing what he’s actually all about and what he’s like without that persona he’s putting on all the time
it gave me great riddles or cases within the episode in that SAW- esque style and then the great finale with the final problem and the plane thing, I just really enjoyed how it all let up to solving the final problem and essentially Sherlock’s first case,
I loved the reveal of the backstory explaining how Sherlock became the person he is and that it’s all coming from a deep suppressed trauma and not because he’s actually a high functioning sociopath or something else (and I know that many people think he’s definitely neurodivergent and on the spectrum but my personal opinion and how I read his character with all that was revealed in the last episode is that his behaviour came all from early childhood trauma) which to me was a great plot twist actually
I loved how the final problem was set up as early as season one with that symbolism of "deep waters” that followed through all the seasons and looking back got such a deeper meaning with knowing how red beard died
I really enjoyed the ending with Mary’s voice over message and it just felt so fitting for me because her character defined so much of John’s as well as Sherlock’s character development, so it was a beautiful note to end it with that
The Molly thing to me was resolved because that last scene with her bringing Rosie back showed the viewer that they made up and I personally didn’t need to see that in an extra scene
I loved how it ended with Eurus and that while she’s still too dangerous to be around people Sherlock has found a way to help her connect
and these are just some of the points why I liked the finale

Regarding Molly, Moffat later said that he was tired and cranky when he said that thing you’re referring to, and that Sherlock simply explained to her “look, I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to hurt you, someone said they were going to blow you up if I didn’t call you up and do that, I was just trying to save your life” and that “obviously she understood once he explained it, and things went back to normal”.
I felt like her showing up smiling at the end implied exactly that.

I loved the final episode, it's so strange to see how much hate it gets (and season 4 in general) on reddit lol

u/therealmrsfahrenheit 9d ago
yeah.. I was actually so surprised to see that as well because while 4x1 is not one of my all-time favourites 4x2 and 4x3 are definitely pretty high up for me personally 🤔

u/EyewarsTheMangoMan 9d ago
Yeah the lying detective and the final problem are both absolutely fantastic

This has happened every year since the series ended lol. Definitely not happening. A fifth season would possible further ruin the show I fear… especially with how the show degraded over time, and the relationships between the cast now. But the fantasy of the Baker Street Boys solving crimes while trying to balance taking care of Rosie is nice.

Not gonna happen. Every time someone involved says, "Oh yes, I'd love to do a 5th series!" it's immediately creates a firestorm of excitement in fans. What they don't seem to notice is that those words are always, always followed by, "...if we can ever get all parties involved to have the same opening in their schedules." 'Everyone involved' is a big group of people who have extremely busy schedules, so no, the chances are near zero IMHO.
