BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » I have seen it tonight - report

Ozma · January 9, 2014 12:15 am

Just got back. I'm quite tipsy I have to say. Louise, Amanda, Lars, Una and Jonathan (Anderson) were there, as well as Steven Moffat and Vertue, and someone else - can't reveal who

Not going to tell you anything of course, but Steven said there *will* be a season 4 - and Sue added they are just waiting to confirm timings but it will be as soon as they can. Amanda said Martin is free from April..

Steven even said they have season 5 in the making...

Ozma, how cool is all that? I envy you terribly. I hope you had a wonderful night.
I'm looking forward to the time, when you are allowed to tell more.

Ozma · January 9, 2014 12:32 am

I had a good night - it was nice to hang out and have a drink with them - we were with Bafta members so it was quite relaxed. Lars is absolutely lovely.

Moffat has a very sharp tongue and doesn't give a s**t about anyone.

This said, I don't agree with everything he does... at all..oh well.

But I don't want to draw you into a conversation, since that must be difficult for you, so I just say: Try to sleep well

Ozma · January 9, 2014 12:46 am

I actually feel like I need to talk! but I understand you won't want to - and I don't want to tell people anything they don't want to know

Morwen · January 9, 2014 1:17 am

Lucky you!! I'm jealous!

Also, I think this is my first post. !!

the_dancing_woman · January 9, 2014 6:27 am

Wow, this sounds like you had an amazing night!!

And it would be lovely to get a new series of Sherlock a little bit sooner this time! Wouldn't be cool if had to wait like just one year?? I'd already be completely happy with that!

Baker Street Babes spoiler free review:

I’m currently sitting in the BAFTA Q&A. My hands haven’t stopped shaking. This episode is thrilling. It’s so clever. My jaw actually dropped at least four times. I gaped at the screen. Holy fucking shit.

This episode is dark. It’s thrilling. Your heart will race and it will keep surprising you. I felt like I was having a heart attack the entire time. I’ve never been so glued to an episode. I swear.

There’s so much I’m not allowed to say, but I’ll try to tease without being thrown in the BBC basement.

- Wiggins
- Marijuana
- Pressure points
- Redbeard
- Molly is so important. So fucking important.
- Lick your face.
- Mike
- I don’t understand.
- I still don’t understand.
- “He can snap you in half and right now. I’m afraid he might.”
- It’s a dummy.
- “It doesn’t mean I’m not happy to see you.”
- Clever clever Mary.
- Pent up aggression, much? BAMF John.
- Look into Holmesian past.
- Pet names.
- SO MUCH CANON

I now have wine. I can’t stop smiling. I think my hands have stopped shaking. I think.

I don't agree with some of the points above - just so you are warned. You can also consider the below spoilers...but I'm not going to say any more than they have, really.

Molly is so fucking important? Not so sure.
Clever, clever Mary? Again, not so sure.

I'm happy they were smiling...me, not so sure....

Ozma, RadioTimes wrote something like that in the end you can't decide wether you should sob or cheer. Would you agree? Probably this is too spoilerish to ask but I'd REALLY like to know if there is something positiv you get out of the ending.

Ozma · January 9, 2014 8:34 am

Yes, there is something positive. I did feel like cheering - but more of some sort of weird excitement than out of happiness.

Sadly it's got nothing to do with Sherlock and John - who incidentally are the reason why I watch this show (and I think everybody else's reason as well). This is what bothers me.

MeganObviously · January 9, 2014 11:13 am

I haven't even posted an intro yet - so forgive me for jumping in, but I was there last night too and feel the need to talk it over with someine who has seen it! I can't send you a private message as I haven't done three posts so maybe I do my posts here, then we could chat? :D

Ozma · January 9, 2014 11:18 am

yes, I would love to. I am a total wreck.

What has this show done to me!??
I should have told Steven this last night - but eh, I opted to be polite instead...

Hera · January 9, 2014 11:20 am

You are scaring me, guys. You make it sound like it was dreadful.

Ozma · January 9, 2014 11:23 am

it was dreadful, beautiful, moving, shocking, annoying, absurd, sweet, surprising.... so many things.

I hope this doesn't count as spoilers. I have been reliably informed Magnussen will come after me if I say anything spoilery.

Actually, this sounds just perfect. Me want right now!!

Hera · January 9, 2014 11:25 am

Doesn't sound spoilery to me. Thanks again!
It really seems like the prediction that fans will be just as frustrated as they ever were, will come true.

I wonder if tumblr will explode on Sunday.

Marva · January 9, 2014 11:28 am

here is another review, it's from cumberbatchweb and they claim that it is spoiler-free but for my taste it was in fact a bit spoilerish. So decide on your own good.

Ozma · January 9, 2014 11:28 am

Tumblr *will* explode. I had sudden tears in my eyes at some point and didn't even know how or when they'd started, and my heart was beating like crazy.

then I just felt like Moffat had opened my chest, taken my heart out with his bare hands, thrown it on the floor, then stomped on it, all the while smiling and saying, 'I'm not doing anything!'

and that's how I feel now. That, and I am also hungover.

Marva · January 9, 2014 11:33 am

from the link I posted before (they just added this):

"Throw out your preconceptions about the ending. All the speculation you’ve read? WRONG!"

I'm intrigued as hell!

EDIT: And "Fans of a rare pairing will be delighted. Brief on screen time!"
Any guesses?
