Ah don't do that Rebecca. That gif right there sends me into raptures....

It's what brought me on this forum, it's why I'm smitten with Sherlock and Ben.

It's the Holy Grail of kisses.

Aaaaah, the kiss... the KISS!!!

From an interview -

Brealey ponders the response to both the kiss and a scene in the final episode when Molly thumped Sherlock after he was found in a drug den.

"My Twitter basically broke," Brealey laughs, "and I kept on having to reboot it, because I think in the end there was something like 7000 people tweeting me asking about the slap that I delivered to Benedict's lovely face at the beginning of the episode."

After the similar reaction to the kiss, Brealey should maybe have expected it."Obviously everyone adores Benedict," she says, "and it was such a James Bond-y moment, but I was standing on a crash-mat, so was slightly unstable. In one take I actually fell off the crash-mat. I slowly slid off like Del-Boy at the bar.

"But you don't often get to do fantasy shots like that. In the script it was just a James Bond-style clinch, but I wanted it to be a proper snog and not a peck. In one take Benedict did the hair ruffle to get the glass out, and in the next take he didn't do it, and I was like, 'Put the ruffle back in. It's really hot!' It looks good, though, doesn't it?"

Brealey isn't showing off when she says this. Rather, her tone is one of utter fan-girl glee, albeit a fan-girl who got to do what most of the show's female fans would like to do. Several times at that.

"Within a minute-and-a-half of that kiss I had something like 6000 new followers on Twitter," she says, "and I had thousands of tweets that night. One of the reasons Molly works is that women who love or fancy Benedict can quite easily imagine themselves as her. So, of course, when he snogged her, they all just …" She pauses. "… lost it. It was such a collective …" - she squeaks to illustrate - "because no-one was expecting it."

Just got off watching TSoT on TV with my brother. I think it's safe to say he's well on the way of becoming a part of the Cumbercollective. Gushed about Ben's performance with the speech and all the twirling.

Now let's have a good dose of Shezza!

Oh that's nice polar!! How can he look that good while being a druggie tramp person!'

Here's him looking dashing....
