Spolier-ish, but it's Sherlockology, it's fine.

Re: His Last Vow filming begins Mon 29th July
ME TOO!!! OMG I'm so excited *dances*
I can't believe they're actually going to do Charles Augustus Milverton, it's one of my favorite canon stories. PLEASE let Sherlock get engaged just for the purpose of solving the case, like in the original

He,he
And you are right, it is a great story in the canon and Charles Augustus Milverton is a wonderful villain. He definitely will give Sherlock something to chew on!
And if they stick close to the canon story we will get a few great John/Sherlock moments. Can't wait!

Re: His Last Vow filming begins Mon 29th July
Here is something for you all to get an impression about Milverton from canon:
"Hum! He's about due. Do you feel a creeping, shrinking sensation, Watson, when you stand before the serpents in the Zoo, and see the slithery, gliding, venomous creatures, with their deadly eyes and wicked, flattened faces? Well, that's how Milverton impresses me. I've had to do with fifty murderers in my career, but the worst of them never gave me the repulsion which I have for this fellow. And yet I can't get out of doing business with him—indeed, he is here at my invitation.""But who is he?"
"I'll tell you, Watson. He is the king of all the blackmailers. Heaven help the man, and still more the woman, whose secret and reputation come into the power of Milverton! With a smiling face and a heart of marble, he will squeeze and squeeze until he has drained them dry. The fellow is a genius in his way, and would have made his mark in some more savoury trade. His method is as follows: He allows it to be known that he is prepared to pay very high sums for letters which compromise people of wealth and position. He receives these wares not only from treacherous valets or maids, but frequently from genteel ruffians, who have gained the confidence and affection of trusting women. He deals with no niggard hand. I happen to know that he paid seven hundred pounds to a footman for a note two lines in length, and that the ruin of a noble family was the result. Everything which is in the market goes to Milverton, and there are hundreds in this great city who turn white at his name. No one knows where his grip may fall, for he is far too rich and far too cunning to work from hand to mouth. He will hold a card back for years in order to play it at the moment when the stake is best worth winning. I have said that he is the worst man in London, and I would ask you how could one compare the ruffian, who in hot blood bludgeons his mate, with this man, who methodically and at his leisure tortures the soul and wrings the nerves in order to add to his already swollen money-bags?"

Re: His Last Vow filming begins Mon 29th July
going by his tweets I'm not liking this new villan. I mean, everyone who considers themselves better than Moriarty is supposed to FAIL. except sherlock of course. But Im a person who gives everything a first chance so we'll see...

Re: His Last Vow filming begins Mon 29th July
I honestly just clapped my hands in delight, watching for Sue's tweet. Sure, as many of you said, Moran would have been over-obvious (and used likely earlier, if at all), but as far as creative, creepy, fun villains go, we were even discussing Milverton a lot in speculation threads! This is awesome! 
Charles Augustus Magnussen. Hmm. Cool... not to mention being intrigued by their choice of actor, not knowing him so much as his well-known brother, who's also playing a villain of sorts in a just-as-crazy-as-us fandom. Oh dear... watch out for tons of crossover stuff popping up in the next few days... 
Great story, too.... I also hope they creatively repurpose a lot of elements from it, too!

Re: His Last Vow filming begins Mon 29th July
Oooooooh, new nemesis! Haven't read much of the canon yet so I don't really know him. But I'm looking forward to this! What's he like? Is he like Moriarty or completely different?
