I don’t know why people spend time making up fake tweets about Sherlock when you have real gems like this. (x)
This post contains Sherlock filming spoilers related to the fall solution. Stop reading now if you do not want to know about that sort of thing.
…I haven’t seen every single thing from the past couple days of filming, but in my opinion: no, the fall is not really resolved based on the set photos & videos alone.
THIS IS NOT ME SAYING that it’s safe for you to go ahead and look at those photos & videos if you don’t like spoilers. We definitely know more than we did before, and some people’s very specific pet theories took a beating.
Just know that unless there are more leaks to come, I don’t think we’re at a point where anyone can actually state a theory and prove it based on filming photos & videos. So you at least have that little bit of safety.
(Again, IN MY OPINION. Please don’t hate me if I’m wrong.)
This isn’t actually a spoiler at all, but I’m putting it under a cut because it’s only intended for people who have seen spoilers and the spoilerphobes have already had a rough day.
“I think I’m going to see how bad the spoilers get today,” I said.
HA HA HAH Ahahahaa hah ah ha
Leave for a few hours and it’s the damn Spoilerpocalypse out there.
Okay, I want to get out ahead of this one before it gets silly.
Some media outlets were present during today’s Sherlock filming.
One of them posted a bunch of set photos to their website, and labeled them like so:
Which, y’know… Sherlock and Doctor Who are both filming in London right now, and some of the same people are involved in each show. Whoever posted the photos to the site obviously just got confused, ha ha ha.
But now I’m seeing people seriously believing there’s a Wholock crossover in the works, and… no. Please don’t do that.
If you need more than my word for it and the fact that Moffat has already said it’s not going to happen, stop and look at the text of that description again.
“The scenes follow on from a series 7 cliffhanger where the Doctor seemed to fall to his death.”
That sentence is so clearly referring to The Reichenbach Fall with the wrong character name. And it doesn’t even make sense as a DW cliffhanger. Someone just got really mixed up. That’s all.
Yeah, so… Some of the things people are putting out there untagged* because they’re supposedly not very spoilery are actually quite spoilery to those of us who have the fall scene memorized.
Just saying.
Be careful out there.
Now I’m going to eat Sno-Caps and do laundry. The end.

*edit: Or maybe saying “not fully tagged” would be more accurate? I DON’T KNOW, WE HAVE TAG STRATA NOW AND IT’S CONFUSING.
Is it wrong to hope for decoy filming? What I would really love is if they filmed just a few seconds of stuff for each of the major 3 or 4 fall theories as long as they’re in public. Then throw most of that away in editing. PLEASE CONFUSE US.
I’m so confused and I’ve been seeing.it anywhere but I don’t know the context?
For the sake of anyone who’s confused, the context is a sign Benedict Cumberbatch held up on set today:
Remember, everyone: He’s not on Twitter. If you see someone on Twitter claiming to be Benedict, they are not the real.
The image above is cropped from the original here, which contains costume spoilers. (Benedict willingly posed for the photo and obviously wanted the message out, so no need for anyone to feel angsty over this meme, I think.)
Filming on Sherlock Series Three is about to enter an important stage.
Sue Vertue, producer on the series, has sent us the following statement:
Hi, Sue Vertue here.
As many of you are aware, we’ll soon be embarking on our first London leg of filming for series 3. I’m also aware that there is quite a lot of speculation about where we’re shooting when. I can’t stress how much we the Producers and Benedict, Martin and the rest of the cast appreciate your love and dedication to our show - we’ll endeavour to live up to your expectations for Series 3.
What I am nervous about is that our London shooting schedule is punishing and will really give us very little time to interact with you. The actors really hope you understand that.
Also, and I know this is probably asking a lot, the majority of fans and indeed ourselves would REALLY appreciate it if you didn’t post pictures or spoilers or ideally our daily locations.
Thanks for your understanding. Sue x
Here’s a Saturday treat. From the last series, no spoilers here! :-) (x)
