Gonna post on my Twitter and tell people to stay away from this.

That's it.
I'm freaking exhausted.
Going off tumblr etc.
Just going to drink wine tomorrow and watch the episode.
In the end, it is what it is.

I'm not really au fait with tumblr and don't know what to avoid - is it best to just avoid the site altogether?

**Posted by besleybean** January 14, 2017 8:53 pm

That's my mantra for life!

The Russians are very involved in a lot of things these days aren't they!

I just have to avoid any Sherlock related tag for the next 24h. I think that'll be fine.

GRRR!
You'd think you could avoid spoilers before an episode aired on TV... I mean, the Doctor Who spoiler I had a while back was while waiting for it to come to Danish TV.

I've still avoided any spoilers... and I plan on staying spoiler free until the episode airs tomorrow.

Also... another problem with this is that the people watching this Russian thing is that none of the team actually get any out of it; while the russian sites make money off it.

Have some decency people!

Demonising the whole country for the action of one person who leaked the stuff.
How very democratic.

I hope we were all just having little jokes and anyway, I didn't see any 'demonisation'.

Please calm down. I knew I should have used that -> instead! That's the problem with the internet, not enough emojis. Oh well....

**Posted by besleybean** January 14, 2017 9:45 pm

I never even noticed the emoji...
I saw but didn't observe!

**Posted by Ivy** January 14, 2017 9:57 pm

Yeah they should be bigger and more variety. I already use the winking one a lot.
Anyway, back on topic...

**Posted by ewige** January 14, 2017 9:58 pm

Oh well. Russian fan sites don't share the illegal upload and actually urge people to remain spoiler-free.
I can't understand how a whole episode can be leaked anyway. Hmmpf.

**Posted by Ivy** January 14, 2017 10:05 pm

You know what would be funny though, if there were different scenes, plots and ending in tomorrows episode as the ones in the leak.

I don't get that, too. Was the station who broadcasts the show in Russia got hacked, was it a employee from there? Weird.

Btw. I hope the BBC will be able to sue someone.

**Posted by ewige** January 14, 2017 10:09 pm

I think so many people are involved in dubbing etc. that it's probably difficult to keep track of a digital copy
BBC won't need to sue anyone because all but Russian speakers will watch the ep when it airs tomorrow anyway. The Russian broadcaster might want to look into the leak, tho! It's their market share / ad profits after all.

Here is the Sue´s tweet warning about the leak.

https://twitter.com/suevertue/status/820298121552936965

Plenty of Russian fans are apologising for the leak that happened in their country, being very sympathetic and polite.
And then there are some Westerners, "joking" through remarks like "Those darn Ruskie", "Fucking Russians", "Why it is always the Russians" etc.
That´s why even the original joke here rubs me the wrong way and it won´t change so soon.

**Posted by Mothonthemantel** January 15, 2017 4:37 am

Did it leak on Friday the 13th? Because ? Really ?

Have been busy and avoiding any spoilers.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** January 15, 2017 6:18 am

Russian fans should not apologize for being Russian! The fault is purely with the idiot who decided to upload it and make a profit... as well as the idiots who shared it, and made screen grabs and what else (what I luckily still have avoided)

Another thing... it's so soon! Isn't it?? I had planned on sleeping in so I was fresh, and had less time to panic about the episode (but guess who accidentally set an alarm for 7am... *groans*)

**Posted by ewige** January 15, 2017 7:03 am

It. Is. Today! *grins madly*
I too have been planning on sleeping a lot in advance but our neighbor's burglar (false) alarm had to wake up the whole neighborhood at 4.30
