Beware, s4 spoilers below! and thus links only.

I have created new tags for eps 1-3: Thatchers, TLD, TFP.

If you haven't seen the show yet, stop reading now.  I mask spoilers, as always -- and later on, I'll post the setlock I meant to wrap up with.  But this is the SPOILER ZONE.  Watch your step!

These words from Steven Moffat last Thursday at the #Sherlock BFI screening had us cheering

Note that Sherlockology has spoiler-free s4 reviews that may screw up your watching any ep the first time (ep 1 and ep 3, but not ep2) and so I do NOT RECOMMEND that you read those either. Just go watch s4 first.

(S2) Signaling.

And that was the signal!

I'd never noticed it before.  Jim scares me.  As well he should, he's a deeply scary man.  Not human; he left humanity behind long ago, wearing his body like unwanted clothes.

Allow me to backtrack.  I was rewatching a favorite fan video... it involves Reichenbach, so if any feels still bother you, you might want to skip the video itself.

Pictures; one mild setlock.

Consider these images my birthday presents to you in Ben's name.  I know his birthday is 19-July -- happy birthday, proud new papa Benedict! -- but I'm not up on which new birthday charities are happening.  Alas.

You can always check the 2014 charities; some of them are ongoing.  Consider Batch of Kindness, for one...  And particularly ALS, as Ben's an ambassador for them and many many others!

Warning!  One setlock pic included from the 2015 Christmas special.  Not a major spoiler, but a nifty pic to be sure.

Fannish Friday...

... Or, I have an eyeball.

Went to first day of Media*West yesterday.  This is a local fan-run con [ETA with their FAQ for your info], no guests, just fans.  It's lovely.

Panels on BBC Sherlock, tiny fandoms, audio goodies (run by my boyfriend -- about podcasts, BBC Radio 4, etc.), Benedict Cumberbatch, and also the Sherlock party.

At the latter we played Cards Against Humanity, the Sherlock version.  Much hilarity and rudeness!

The hostess at the party brought me a [lavender] tumbler of water that had an eyeball in it.  Which I got to keep.

Fan vids; I Love Speedy's fan vid; Hamlet sale Monday!

Sherlock / Moriarty - When You're Evil by Sandy Quan

S1 and s2 with possible feels alert.  I was just amused by the song, which is very appropriate.  :D

These Boots I Made From You (Jim Moriarty + "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'") by MoonMouse... who has done other fan vids that I love, such as the Particle Man (Sherlock BBC) and "Birdhouse in Your Soul" fan vids.

A lovely instrumental (s1) vid that I adore:  Your Love Is My Drug - Sherlock by Lemon Swordfish

I've posted the latter several times too.


Also, if you're in London tomorrow, join the Baker Street Babes for this project!  

Londoners! Come to @speedyscafe tomorrow from noon to help with our I <3 Speedy's fan video! http://t.co/xWPPV2ktsw

S4, Una, a fan vid; Anglo FF.

Reasons why we love Una Stubbs -- tumblr user jennylevey would like to send Una a collection of these.  Do reblog, I pray you!


Your Love Is My Drug - Sherlock by Lemon Swordfish

One of my favorite instrumental fan vids, all s1.  It's lovely.  I could listen to it for hours (and sometimes do).


Both Ben and Martin got swept out of Anglo Fan Faves.  (So did Tom Hiddleston, which is a bit shocking.  Loki lost to the Doctor!)  I suspect the actors who were cheering their fans on got more than a little boost.  I don't recall that happening before.

So if you're still voting, Thorin's against the Tenth Doctor, while the Outlander is crushing Merlin.  I feel this is fitting, since Smaug should've won, clearly.  ;b

Snapshot of Anglo Fan Faves, Women 2014, which starts 1-Dec-14.  Note that Lara, Loo, and Una are all in again this time around!  But... Amanda isn't.


If you haven't seen all of s3 yet, avoid this.  Possible s4 spoilers -- and just as likely, Mark just messing with us.  Like he and Steven tend to do.  :D

Missing from SH s3.

First, seasonal fan art from JM.

Halloween should mean more candy, but I wasn't able to blog that day.  Have some deleted scenes from s3 instead.  :D

Do avoid these vids if you haven't yet seen s3, definite spoilers inside!

Ask Benedict, Hollow Crown, etc.

Today #AskBenedict will be going on.  In under 6 hours.

For anyone not in the UK, check the world time map here.

At 2pm tomorrow Benedict Cumberbatch will answer questions in a live Twitter Q&A. Send your Qs with #AskBenedict... pic.twitter.com/VF9VdUDZNX

If you sorrow for not getting the Sherlocked convention in your country/region... this is my answer to why it's only in Europe and America.  I'm sorry, my dears, but it comes down to numbers.

The higher amount of fans are in two places first.  Yes, I know and you know that certain countries have HUGE fan bases.  And matching populations.

Sherlock fandom is worldwide, sure -- but we're not concentrated everywhere.  In America and Europe are where conventions will be first.

Watch the Sherlocked FB page for regular updates.

Mostly Sherlock s3/s4.

Stayin' Alive... a Sherlock flashmob in Russia.  8)  Today's blog is brought to you by Twitter and Radio Times, also the letter C.

Filming s4 in 2015?  Well, maybe, according to Radio Times.  

From this Tweet.  I doubt this is really from the Beeb, in case you're wondering.  [Fandom-made... is "statistically probable," to paraphrase Sherlock.]  But isn't that image impressive?

BBC and s3 spoilers.

A really cool Cabin Pressure poster off tumblr.

Benedict is the voice of Rumpole of Rumpole of the Bailey for BBC 4 -- and they have episode one airing for the next 4-5 days only.  Rumpole and the Old Boy Net it's called.

Some news, some s3 spoilers.

Mark notes that there is no Sherlock without Benedict... adding, I am sorry to say, the sort of comment that Steven would make!

More news on Sherlocked -- the convention planned for venues in the UK and USA.  Okay, let's be honest, a tiny bit of news!

But don't blame the messenger[s] as the post was written by Sherlockology.  No one has more details as of yet, apparently.  o.o

Benedict Cumberbatch arrives! #Oscars #Sherlock pic.twitter.com/jTZsnprtH9

March has come and so I will attempt to keep screening direct spoilers.

The Empty Hearse.

The Empty Hearse as per John Watson's blog.

Mr. and Mrs. Holmes... are played by Benedict's own real parents.  8)

And SH is of course typically Sherlock to them, but I digress.

The Empty Hearse Review. Contains spoilers! http://t.co/t4Jz583vce #Sherlock #SherlockLives

Spoilery and Stuff via tumblr.

No spoilers here, in a bitty 221B.  Lovely!

S2 spoiler zone, both minor and major!  Including a one-sentence summary per season.  8D

What is Lestrade's division? 

Tall people -- short friends.  8)  A gif set of Mycroft.

Behind the scenes shots for The Sign of Three.

It's always Mycroft. Isn't it?

If not, it should be.  8)

Spoiler zone for s3! and very probably s4, particularly if you aren't up on ACD canon.  Also the pastiches.

Quote shirt and tumblr: HLV again.

If you click links, you WILL find s3 spoilers.  

More setlock. Because.

Level of setlock varies.

The Woman texts Sherlock:  I like your silly hat.  Let's have dinner.

Probably she wouldn't care for him to attend like this, however.  Nice smirk, Sherlock!

A little more of Sherlock here and there.  In costume, Martin admiring [or is he??] Ben's blue suit.

Definitely spoiler potential for ep1 of s3, with JM!  And doesn't Mycroft look lovely here?

=ahems=

Some April 2013 setlock for ep2.  The tumblr photoset from deareje shows both Ben and Martin in tails.  8)

Mildly in setlock category, since this is posted officially:  Some characters/actors listed, including MM and this gentleman for ep2.

Bit of MorMor shipping.

Shipping.  Do not subscribe -- BUT.

If a writer can get me to disregard that, get me to play along with the story, then it's a win.  Particularly if the writing just plain works.

For example:  Fanart ficlet that starts with 'Seb from PR.'

That is my kind of Seb.  And Dear Jim fits.  Found via the great mystradedoodles mormor tag.

This fic is set before The Pool, in case you're wondering.  8)

S2 (Reichenbach) SPOILERS after the break!  

Setlock: just some.

A little light setlock...  our (various) boys posing for ep 1.

Setlock from the very queen of setlock, deareje:  Look at Ben, almost entirely in character, trying not to grin in first pic.  Direct tumblr link here from August.

Clearly Johnlock -- or is it?

Silly setlock/safelock:  shouting.

And this quite probably isn't setlock -- look at the hair! -- but isn't he pretty in that hat?
