Cumberbatched, fan art, and...

Cumberbatched:  Have to pause.  So cuddly.  For English Journal.  Fallen because of [redacted] in The Last Enemy.

MORE Cumberbatched:  This one from Esquire November 2013 is tagged NSFW [not safe for work] so beware!  There's an iTunes link for Esquire UK here.


Sherlock fan art:  Not the Johnlock you're looking for.  When Sherlock's relaxing.  Really the Johnlock you wanted.  From The Woman, a little warning.

Top girl: Olivia Poulet interview [you'll remember her from Blind Banker, yes].

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?

It’s Official: Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Watson Own Sexiness

It’s Official: Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Watson Own Sexiness per Anglophenia.

With this face, how could he not??

Cumberbatched: Yes.

Caitlin Moran summing up BBC Sherlock.

Cumberbatched:  Good night, all (formal in a black tie).  What every Cumbercookie wants to hear from Ben!  Leaning against a wall in a really scrumptious outfit.


Oh, if ONLY!  Via this Tweet.  But alas!  The link is for a spoof video.

That Benedict Cumberbatch gets everywhere, doesn't he? http://t.co/JAdXHfiAqE (by me & @Pandamoanimum )

Desperately Sherlocked, eh?

You can tell when we Sherlock fans are desperate for more Sherlock... we pull out our favorite pics and gifs to retweet, reblog, repost...

And also reread fics, rewatch fan vids, re-everything.  We are The Fandom That Waits -- and waits, and waits...

Which is how I can tell that Radio Times is full of Sherlock fans.  They too are doing this.  Cf. 20 life lessons learned from Sherlock, and my source for that picture.  How does Ben manage some of these faces??

Some of my faves are the pics for 10, 11, 12 (naturally), 19, 20, and the opening pic they used, which is from Blind Banker.

Yeah... of course I repost pics too.  8)  Have some Vatican Cameos!!  Or Silly Batch smirking.

Cumberbatch news:  Ben (fanboying) about Harrison Ford.  (They'll be on the new Graham Norton show together -- on this Friday, 11-Oct-13 per the BBC.)  Here's the May 2013 vid for that off Jimmy Fallon's show, thanks to Cumberbatchweb!

Spec, the Casebook, Japan, Frankenstein.

Mmm, speculation about Mycroft and Sherlock and...  Probable s2 spoilers, beware!

About Mycroft's power -- and of course, his first-rate brain.  Mycroft's hobbies?

Sherlock and John arguing via Post-it notes in the Casebook.

A video from Japan (direct tumblr link here):  Ben's interviewed about STID, himself, women...  As usual, Ben mumbles, so turn up the sound on this!

Thinking about the differences in their characters:  Mycroft and Sherlock.

@castlesfortay @ninja_CE Check the NT Live website, you can find participating theatres on there. Good luck!

If you're seeking Danny Boyle's 2011 Frankenstein in your country... it could return.  Check out Cumberbatchweb as well as NT Live.

Sherlock swag and quizzes.

Radio Times loves us!  They're doing s1 and s2 quizzes.

Quiz One:  A Study in Pink
Quiz Two:  The Blind Banker
Quiz Three:  The Great Game

If you have NOT seen 2012 Sherlock, beware s2 spoilers.

Quiz Four:  Scandal in Belgravia
Quiz Five:  The Hounds of Baskerville
Quiz Six:  The Reichenbach Fall


RT also asks:  What official Sherlock merchandise would YOU like to see?

Here I think perhaps their research has failed them... as RedBubble, deviantArt, etsy, and other sites are already supplying this need for fans.  Being rather weary of the Beeb's slowness on supplying goodies.

The Sheetlock body pillowcase was up for sale not long ago as well -- sorry! it's gone from StorEnvy now, but the tumblr image remains.

That was via the WearSherlock tumblr.  8)  If you can't find the Sherlock DVDs, they have them too!  If you want SH props and swag, that's your source.

Psst!  In case you were wondering, SherLEGO will be voted on come January 2014.  Go fandom!!!
