Awesome! *so excited*

I'm going to take the risk... and read it.

Those are spoilers within the "normal" frame. Nothing in connection with the BFI premiere. And it sounds really, really good.

So... it's not that dangerous then... good.

There are interviews with Moftiss and Mr Freeman, too, at BBC media center. Finally the BBC let the world participate.
Not exactly spoilerish, but a bit revealing. Mr Freeman said that the script of ep.3 is one of the best he ever read.

Oh, this makes me happy, happy, happy!
It sounds so terrific... what he says about John and Sherlock getting to know each other again, what he says about Mikkelsen's baddie and that Sherlock has no control over him and what this does to him psychologically... fascinating. I'm so excited, once more!

Yes... brilliant interview. I can SEE him... saying this things. Am I crazy?

**Posted by Be** December 19, 2013 2:29 pm

No. Perfectly normal Sherlockian.

YOU ALL made me that. I was sooo reasonable when I started here.

Keep telling yourself that Gently.

Couldn't see anything in either of those interviews that we here would consider a spoiler.

Why is he rusty and regressed? Where has he been? Fallen out of time and space?
Previously I thought 221 C but that is obviously wrong. Did he live among the homeless network "London below"? Did he go to his mind palace somewhere?
In the original ACD Holmes went to see the Lama. Something like that? We know Mr Cumberbatch was in India (Darjeeling?) with buddists. And we know that Holmes is trained in martial arts.

What about visiting a buddist temple and meditate, doing Zen? Louise Brealey tweeted once something she learned about the time gap between London and Nepal (was it?).

You know, Gently, if we made you what you are, be glad that you didn't join Tumblr or Twitter...believe me, it could be so much worse.

Apparently it's worse for me.... as regular Tumblr user.

Wherever he spent those past two years, it can't have been London. There is a lot of talk in the trailerrs and interviews about him having to get to know London again.
So I really can't wait to find out where he actually went and how he spent his time, two years is quite longish period of time (as we all know). He must have done something! Maybe he spent the time alone in a cottage by the sea keeping bees... *LOL* No, he's definitely too young for that.

There's a moment in the trailer where Sherlock says "Welcome to my world" in what looks like an Underground tunnel. Could that mean that he lived in the underground (literally) for a while?

**Posted by besleybean** December 19, 2013 7:34 pm

Is that where he bumped into to scruffy Anderson?!

I always thought it was just the phrase. Like when someone experiences something you know very well...
