Still not over it.
I don't think I'll ever be over it.

Well, Benedict didn't really say that there was going to be a season 4... He was actually just joking around. In reality, he "genuinely doesn't know".
But I guess it's too late to take that back since the whole fandom exploded. Now, Moffat and Gatiss are forced to work on the next series. Oh, Benedict...
....God I love this fandom. XD

He did say, "all I know is, I'm doing these three and three more." That's three more episodes ie. another series.

I listened to the interview. He said "I think we agreed to do two (series) more, but I could go into trouble for saying it to the national press. I genuinely don't know. All I know is that we are doing these three". And in fact, apparently he got into trouble with Mofftiss and company. Gosh, it must be so stressful never being able to be yourself because every word you say will be picked up and amplified That being said, I do think there will be series 4 as well, but obviously they don't want the people to think about it yet or take it for granted.

Meehhh. I feel sorry for Benedict.

I think he knew what he was doing. Sort of. Talking too much seems to be one of his most endearings flaws.

I don't.
He grew up with acting parents, he knows what he's doing. And if not - well....................

And just think of the pleasure he gave us all. Tumblr. Twitter. No need to be sorry for that.

I'm totally relating to Ben right now. A few times at work I've said something that seemed minor, or that slipped out in the course of a conversation, only to have it blow up in my face. I know how it can make you feel - like you never want to open your mouth in public again. Anyway, what's the problem? Are they gonna have a cliffhanger everytime at the end of E3 where it appears he's dead? Come on! They've already said publically that if everyone is available they'd like to make this show for years to come.

Well, I feel sorry for him, too. Ok, he is an actor and has acting parents and so on, but still, being sincere and spontaneous is one of his most endearing treats (to me) and it's a pity it should backfire on him so often. I saw his "bactracking" explanation on season 4 and he seemed to me very nervous and stressed, obviously he has been given quite a scolding for forwarding this. And he did say "I think" "I genuinely don't know" even the first time he mentioned it.

Can we still look forward a fourth series or can we not? I'm confused now.
Offline
I think 8and hope) we can. I don't think it was pure imagination on his side.
@mirirel and KP: I like that about him. Makes him seem quite honest even if sometimes it brings him into trouble. But he'll be forgiven, I'm quite sure.

He said he and Martin had "signed" for the next series, didn't he? Or am I imagining that? Backtracking now does not change that - unless they nullify the contract. And why ever would the do that!??! If he said something that's going to ruin a surprise at the end of S3, then f***king re-write it, Moftiss!

Did he really? Thought it was just valid for series 3. But I'm too confused at the moment.
Well, that's good news anyway. Relieved.

Oh so our sweetie had a big mouth!:-) in a way I can understand they are angry with him, the show is highly popular and there should be a lot of marketing strategies around. Maybe they wanted people to think S3 being the last one to increase the number of watchers or something like that, what do we know. But Ben should be happy because he had pleased soo many people :-*

Hubby just suggested that the sentence for his indiscretion will be: In S4 Lestrade will solve all the cases!
Offline
Alone?? Impossible. AND boring. S4 without SH?
Offline
I guess according to hubby they make him WATCH Lestrade, with a few hapless lines: "I have no hint, Greg...."

And S5 will be called "LESTRADE" then.
