I had to start with the Legos.  Because they're -- as Arthur would say -- BRILLIANT.  So this is a bit of a grab bag.  Enjoy!

SPOILERS EXIST after this point:  you have been warned.

YT and the Special!

Starting out with some bonus candy from SDCC 2014:  Benedict Cumberbatch on Sherlock Season 4, Doctor Strange, Penguins of Madagascar.  Published on Jul 25, 2014.

Well, all about how to locate and/or buy the Special... after these words from Team Sherlock, that is.  ;d  Plus more trailers -- because why not?  :D

Xmas 2015 special: spoilers?!

Holy frijoles, it's been 29 days since my last post!

Apologies, dear fandom.  I've been ill, on deadlines, and other assorted chaos that masquerades as Life to distract one from the Interweb.

But hey, there is Sherlock candy for us all, so I'm back in time, so to speak.  Better'n cake, yes?


Amused... everyone from Variety to Tor Books are talking (Tweeting) about the new BBC Sherlock trailer.  Have you seen it yet?  Actually, there are TWO trailers.

This is the teeny 10-second vid... because the 1:30 [that's minute and seconds, sorry!] trailer follows the cut.

See a bit more… Wednesday 7 October. 9pm. BBC One. #221Back #Sherlock https://t.co/7vCrT5FjHN

— BBC One (@BBCOne) October 6, 2015

OTOH, you can rest assured that since I didn't see either til today, we're all frazzled.

Image(s) of Team Sherlock. :)

This high one -- as the Penguins of Madagascar would say! -- is for you, my dears.  So patient with me as Real Life keeps interrupting my vital online time.  (It really has been, blast it.)

Oscars and TIG; Rupert pics and Fargo; Ben's schedule??

Vids from yesterday: Ben visits Jimmy Kimmel (during Ben's honeymoon!) and talks about The Imitation Game, Alan Turing, and the UK petition (blog post) -- the petition itself is at Pardon49k.org.




For a brief change of pace, have some s3 pics of our Silver Fox on the side.  Moving from Sherlock to Fargo...

This week is mostly setlock!

Three Patch Podcast: Spoilercast 24 -- not putting the title here, it's a clear spoiler.  No, really.

Strangely enough, this pic of Sue Vertue doesn't look like a spoiler, despite being setlock [possible safelock?].

#SHERLOCK fans please avoid the #setlock #ShSpesh tag as filming continues today in Bristol. Some "major" spoilers out there!
— luno (@freewomenxgrape) January 31, 2015

It looks like this week's filming is major spoiler time, so be very very careful of whatever you look at, setlock-wise.

Happy NYE, dear fandom.

I feel like the set of #Sherlock would be the best place to murder and dismember someone without anyone suspecting a thing.
— Irene Adler (@The_Whip_Hand) December 29, 2014

Anyone primed for s4 setlock?  Yes?  No?  Maybe?

This is where bribing Anthea would be handy, you know.  Because it's not like Mycroft would let us watch CCTV footage.

But I get those pics from Twitter and tumblr, so they are from other fans, bravely hunting the wild setlock in its native habitat.

In lieu of fresh setlock, since filming is just under a week away...

Nominations and SNL and pics.

Interviews Martin, Rupert -- Babes' s4 predictions.

Let's talk about Martin.  These are all 2014 interviews.  Expect s3, Richard III, Fargo, and Gollum.  Because all those go together... okay, maybe not.

If you haven't read Martin's Shakespeare invented Gollum interview over at the Telegraph, you should.

Why Martin Freeman Pretended His Wallet was Stolen at His ‘Sherlock’ Audition at BBC America.

Mark Gatiss interviews Martin Freeman at Radio Times.


As for Sherlock s4, remember not to trust what our friendly writer =cough= trolls say, despite things like this at the Telegraph (s3 spoilers in link and title).  Wait until we're in setlock.

Birthdays: Martin's now, Rupert's (June!).

And it's also Martin's birthday today.  I hope he had a very happy one!

Twittery visual spoilers.

Say it with me:  SPOILERS!

I lied.  Of course we can have another post completely of Tweets showcasing s3!

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.

Sherlock mini ep: s3 prequel.

I will put up the mini episode here for you -- sorry it is so late, my dears!

(ETA: Smaller screen version here.)

But I wasn't online for several days:  we lost power.  In the winter.  During an ice storm.  8(

We had heat, so it wasn't all dreadful, but it sure wasn't fun either.

No Internet access during that time either.

Merry Christmas from Sherlock!

A few MANY things about s3.

Various sources... say that the BBC will air the Sherlock mini-ep online.  Check BBC America and the BBC iPlayer and whatever BBC you have.

Alternately, find you a site that promises, as this one does -- warning, lots of S3 pics, possible spoilers! -- to share YT links as soon as they hit!

So far I haven't heard anything about PBS airing the SH mini ep.  Odds are it is very short.  Perfect for YT, eh?

New official s3 pictures!
