Can you believe Sherlock season 4 is coming out on New Years Day? The teaser trailer is already out and boy does it look dark.
There's just a little less than four months until three more episodes conspire to ruin the feelings of fangirls everywhere. So in order to prepare, lets buckle in and make sure we have these 11 things to keep us sane as Steven Moffat tries to destroy us.
1. A Sherlock Coloring Book
These intricate coloring books are said to be good at relieving stress, something which must be useful while one is trying to survive the (possible) return of Moriarity. So get a huge pack of pencils that might have enough colors to properly capture Benedict's heterochromia and settle in.
2. Are you in shock yet?
Two things are going to be necessary to combat the highs and lows of the episodes. One is this sweatshirt with a timeless quote from "A Study in Pink". The other comes next.
3. Since the sweatshirt said you need a blanket...
Why not have this one? This one's large enough to wrap up and hide in when you can't tolerate the suspense any longer. Or, you know, when you're trying to ignore the fact that Mary has yet to die. Wasn't that a canon thing? I was sure she died. Maybe we just haven't got there yet.
4. It'll be New Year's... won't you be cold?
If so, do what Sherlock does and wear a scarf, like this one that'll remind you of your favorite Belstaff wearing sleuth. It might even help muffle the screaming.
5. Do you believe?
With Moriarity back, we have to believe. This poster will ensure you'll never forget.
6. A pun almost as bad as Molly's attempts at getting Sherlock's attention.
It's so bad it's nearly clever. Not as clever as Sherlock will have to be, but clever.
7. Ssh...
Ssh... I need my tea. I won't leave my mind palace until I've had my tea. Preferably John-made. Do you think John will make more tea?
8. Don't talk
Perfect when you need a nonverbal way to tell people to shut their mouths and let you watch the show. Can't they tell that Sherlock's about to make a deduction?
10. Who made the mistake of calling us angels?
"I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them," said Sherlock, reminding us we don't have to be pure and innocent to be on the good side. Something to be remembered, since Season 4 picks up after Sherlock has killed someone and overdosed in the last 2 episodes.
11. You're the Watson to my Sherlock
Because you're going to need someone to talk about Season 4 with, show your appreciation for your best friend with this key chain set. Just make sure you've already determined which one of you is which or you might insult them if they think they're the Sherlock in the relationship.
Enjoy!
