    This whole internet backlash is pretty much ridiculous, but he should probably watch his mouth from now on. I like that he is unfiltered, but it's probably not wise to talk shit about Downton Abbey when you are also employed by PBS...And the whole "posh" backlash thing is so stupid, I kind of feel bad for him because the British press is notoriously awful. The only thing that bothered me was the "punching above my weight" comment, which was probably taken out of context, but still sounded misogynistic and not classy. :? Watch your mouth, Cumberbatch; You're famous now! :lol: :nono:

    Yeah he just needs to be careful, have a good PR person. I'm sure he was taken out of context, he's usually gracious in interviews.

    And here is some exciting news from the Twitter: @steven_moffat: Last year it was Woman, Hound, Fall. This year's three words revealed tomorrow at #MGEITF #Sherlock Master Class.

    YES!!!! eeeeee can't wait! I know Empty House will be the first, but dying to know what the other two will be :D

    Agreed! And can't wait for the announcement. Why do you think Empty House is the first? I've only read a handful of the Doyle Holmes stories, but I was thinking maybe The Speckled Band or something...Hmmm.

    Oh, and those damn Paparazzi! Why can't they just leave people alone?! Oh, wait.. :crazy:

    Well Empty House was the story O'Doyle wrote after Reichenbach Falls (I don't want to give anything away in case anybody peeks in and hasn't seen Season 2 yet) :) I think Moffat and Gatiss have already confirmed that too. I think The Great Game referred to the Speckled Band...John called it in his blog "The Speckled Blonde" :lol: I can't wait to see what they say tomorrow!

    Oh that photo, how terrible! It's like treating him like he's a piece of meat or something....

    Just awful!

    Oh and I wanted to share with you this tumblr that a friend and I have put together for some fun. As you know I'm sure, there's a lot of fantasy type stuff out there surrounding the Sherlock characters (some of it is pretty crazy :shock: lol) and we were joking about it and I said to her, what if we did a thing where people discussed boring fantasies about them.

    So, we made a site :lol: it's already at 275 followers and it was just launched last Sunday! :D what started as a smartass comment has turned into a bit of a thing lol http://blandsherlockfantasies.tumblr.com/

    You're right, I forgot about the Speckled Blonde! And your Tumblr? BRILLIANT! :lol::lol: :clap:

    Yes, the Johnlock porn definitely has met its match! The ceiling fan had me almost crying laughing :lol: And to answer your site's question "Is your boat floated by the idea of Sherlock putting his socks in order? " Yes, I love obsessive compulsive behavior :lol:

    Nice Job, my friend.

    Thanks! :)

    The ceiling fan was mine :D haha most of the photoshop work is mine too, we're having a blast with it! And apparently some of Ben's friends on Twitter have seen it and liked it...so who knows. Perhaps the man himself will see it! :o:lol:

    And yeah I'd watch him organize socks, hell yeah lol

    Rat, Wedding and Bow?! As in HIS LAST BOW?! WHAT THE FUCK, BARBARA?!!!!!!!!!!! I am freaking out right now. They CANNOT end this show so soon. This was supposed to be exciting news, but now I'm depressed and hyperventilating! :o

    Ok, calm down. Cumberbatch already said he wants the show to continue for a long time because he wants to play Sherlock as an older man, however, now that he and Martin Freeman have gone Hollywood in a major way, I am scared. Seriously: http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/ ... s-20120824

    Meryl Streep?! I am so happy for his success, and it's not like I won't be seeing this! But this can't happen, not now! Sorry. Moving on....

    I meant to try to watch the interview online, but I thought it was tonight. Thanks. Not happy about missing Parade's End either, but I seriously feel like I'm having a panic attack right now. *Cry* :cry:

    Moffat and Gatiss are SADISTS.

    Yeah I wish I could see Parade's End too. I'm sure something has to surface online though!

    I'm not gonna get sad, not yet. Besides, "The Last Bow" was more of a spy story, and O'Doyle still wrote Holmes stories even after that. The other thing to consider is that Moffat/Gatiss mash up stories even within the episodes, like the Blind Banker having that touch of the Dancing Men in it. So who knows what these clues even MEAN!

    The bastards *shaking fist towards UK* lol
