I had to delete a post on my last board, when I called Benedict an idiot for smoking!
But a few general points that would apply to anybody, anytime and anywhere: In my opinion, there is a world of difference between what is legal and what is moral.
Having said that, I recognise we are not talking about mass murder, rape or paedophilia here.
Generally good people can make errors of judgement,particularly when they have professional accountants advising them.
For me it's more about people letting themselves down, not presenting a good image and really(and this is purely personal) losing credibility. They may also want to assess what a couple is.
I do also think the wider issues of freedom of press and the world wide recession are relevant.
But I will conclude by adding: my tolerance of wealthy celebs is very low.
I remain a Benedict Cumberbatch fan.
But rampant capitalism stinks: it breeds greed.
None of this of course affects actors talents or abilities.

I'm not entirely sure I'm getting this right but I get the feeling you are talking about the topic that I started. And I am very sorry about that. I didn't mean to make a discussion about money and stuff, I'm not exactly what you would call a fan of capitalism myself. It was just ment to be an aside nothing I really wanted to be discussed. So I apolpgise for having started this. Let's just forget about it.

 
Nothing to apologise about. You're not from England and so you asked a question about English law and the way these things work over here. That's fine. Don't worry about it.

And unwrapping it. Then wrapping it back up again and trying to forget what you saw until the appointed correct time. Sigh.

..like, if someone had told you "Sherlock jumps off the top of St Barts" before Series 2 came out, would you have thanked them for it? You wouldn't have known the circumstances, or the outcome or the storyline, but it still would have spoiled a hell of a lot for you!

Someone DID tell me exactly that, about the jump. And about John in the cemetery, and that Sherlock didn't die. In fact, of TRF, which was the first ep I ever watched, the ONLY thing I hadn't been spoiled about was the scene in what's-her-name-the-reporter's flat, when Moriarty/Richard Brook unexpectedly came in and everyone stood there in shock, looking at each other. Other than that, I'd heard all the high points of the whole episode already. I'm not going to do that to myself again.

Damn...yeah, that must really suck.

I already feel like I know too much...I'm trying to delete things from my mind palace...

I personally have to apologise to at least one person on here, by accidentally blabbing about a spoiler which I thought they would know about...and I very nearly did the same with an even bigger one!
As usual, it seems I have been as clear as mud on the issue of spoliers, so I will try again!
I personally have no issue with them. This is for a number of reasons.
Firstly having seen a few of the famous spoilers for S2, the sheet, blooded Sherlock, handcuffs etc.  Well I kind of worked out that Sherlock and John were arrested at some point, but other than that I gussed wrong. So I wasn't really spoiled. Also, having read the Canon, I knew Sherlock was gonna be involved in some kind of fall and would survive.  So (to borrow from Oscar Wilde), for me, the building was immaterial!
What was a tad more personally distracting was the (spoiler free) reviews of the premiere Q&As, when people were a bit too gushing for me.
But anyhow.  On this occasion, my main source for spoilers asked what I wanted to see and there was one(minor) thing I didn't want to see and actually one of the videos she sent didn't work, but she told me what it contained.
But these are spoliers I am getting third hand, so I'm taking them with a bit of a pinch of salt.  Also we don't strictly know the chararcter Amanda is playing.  Even with some of the fairly graphic scenes I have been told about, I didn't know their relevance to the story.

Sherlock with bloodied nose? I suppose he just told John he's alive. 

The moustache is horrible. 

The moustache is horrible. 
 
I agree, SusiGo. Why would John do that? Grow a moustache? Of course Watson has a moustache in canon. Some random thoughts by a non-psychologist:

Cover your face and walk fast? Kind of deer-stalker?
A kind of disguise because people keep asking him if he was "the guy with the fraud" or  "confirmed bachelor"? Sometimes you change your hairstyle when something important has changed e.g. somebody died or a divorce. When you want to start over and make a symbolic gesture.
A new girl friend wants him to look cool ( which has gone wrong) or masculine?
Maybe he wants to set the record straight? Does he feel guilty because he was not able to prevent the fall? He was not able to look into the mirror any more and see his face?

I think the writers had a good idea because 1. it is canon 2. it looks wrong and the fans will freak out 3. it implys many important psychological circumstances 4. when John is back with Sherlock the aforementioned points are no more relevant and the moustache will disappear (hopefully).

No it isn't official, the guy who tweets about the shoot made it.

Myara, you are right.
I like to find some little things here and there, but as I started this thread for tweets and information that are supposed to be for us (=official), we should try and keep it like this.
Otherwise I will have to avoid this thread, too. 

I agree, that's why I warned not to watch the video Sherly posted, because there are spoilers in it. Since this is a thread for official stuff now, hopefully there aren't spoilers anymore. I wonder how hard it was when they were filming series 2. :-)
