The Special is so secret that even Mofftiss don't know about it - quote from Twitter. :D

[Pseudonym]

Sounds about right. 

[Van Buren Supernova]

Sorry, VBS, I really don't know what to tell you, other than I'm glad you don't normally use that feature.

No problem, I get used to things being weird with me :p. Since I know there are those threads, I'd do other ways and means to get there, when I'm ready to get there. So don't worry. And when I had participated, I can access it easily again from 'My Content'.

(Apparently it's not easy to find undisturbed hours for rewatch. Although this time it has to do with my mood as well)

 

P.S.: My phone is an Android, and my browser is Chrome. How about you?

Android, but I use regular/built-in basic browser. Don't think it makes any difference though.

 

@Secret episode.

Is it more soothing for some to convince themselves that they have something to look forward to?

In that case, then fine. But for me, I just think that there will be season 5 someday instead of insisting on that, because I understand Moffat's frustation when he said something along the line "FGS, what do you think we are hiding?"

 

In funny way it reminds me with a narcissistic colleagues, who kept on hoping that we planned something special for her birthday, while we were SO not, and kept picking up non-existent hints and translated our resting mischievous faces as hiding something. I remember she successfully guilt-trip a few, but to me, it works in reverse. Oh you want attention? Here is..............! *turn around, leave and don't come back*

Yup, definitely agree with that. I don't understand people who insist on believing something that has no proof just because it doesn't support the narrative they have decided upon. I would have given that colleague a wide berth, I always tend to do the opposite of what people try to force on me. 

 

A question to Americans - I saw a few clips of Celebrity Roast on Youtube... I don't get it. It just seems particularly mean spirited to the point of out and out bullying. Do these people ask to be 'roasted'  or are they just picked randomly?

[Artemis]

I think they call it the Lost Special now. I mean the 4th episode.

 

Reminds me of those end-of-the-world cults: Oops, it wasn't today, folks. Well, surely there must be a good reason for this. Let's us find out the next definitive date and just wait.

 

*Nods*.

 

I've been seeing the theory floating around on tumblr.  It was January 29th, because of John and Sherlock's first meeting and Chekhov's birthday and reasons.  Apparently March 8th is the target date now.  *Sigh*.

 

 

[Fantasy Lover]

I heard about that. This is getting ridiculous! Yes, season 4 didn't make any sense. Yes, johnlock isn't Canon. But I have accepted it, albeit grudgingly. I have made a review/ summary of Star Trek TOS to distract myself, I've finished watching How to Get Away with Murder season 2 and I'm about to start watching season 3. After that, I'm going to watch Once Upon a Time season 6. Sometimes, people need to let go.

[Artemis]

Has anyone been watching the drama over at the ContactSH, ContactJHW, et al. twitters over the last few days? It's something else, lol.

Oh..! You mean it still goes on?

That they decide on a date, when it doesn't happen, they decide on another date, based on.... clues?

 

If yes, I... don't know what to say..

I didn't know it is specifically American.

I have heard a few but don't like it. As you said, it's mean spirited and most of the thing they 'joke' about the person is something juicy based on rumors that are most probably not true.

Happy for you!

Is How to Get Away With Murder any good? Do you recommend it? I'm interested to watch that. I know I haven't finished Orphan Black that we talked about back then, I have 'technical difficulty' to continue with that for now.

Yes, lol.  This is one of the "clues" I saw for the March 8th date: http://warmth-and-constancy.tumblr.com/post/156148140920/marcespot-guys-um-i-dont-mean-to-freak-you

 

I've already heard a couple other dates proposed if March 8th doesn't work out.  People seem to be quite desperate about this.  Some of it is... well, I saw this post from a completely serious TJLCer earlier today:

 

Derren Brown is apparently trying to hypnotize us into becoming fascists through subliminal messages hidden in season 4. The reason why he's doing this is because he thinks we're harassing people associated with the show on twitter and driving away non-TJLCer long-time fans. Pretty rude of him.

I think mostly randomly, but they're allowed to decline.

 

I don't get it either.

 

Can someone link to this Twitter thing again? Or is ignorance bliss in this case?

How to Get Away with Murder is good! I really recommend it. It has great representation and the things they get away with omg!

[Artemis]

What is that about?

Essentially, whoever created the accounts is trying to give Johnlockers their "Three Garridebs" moment.  To sum up:

 

John and Sherlock got drunk on their "anniversary" and slept together.  Sherlock tweeted about it and refused to apologize, which angered John, who stormed out.  Sherlock took a case in Amsterdam to avoid the problem.  Mycroft cancelled Sherlock's flights and attempted to "kidnap" them both, to bring them together and force them to work it out.  John was intercepted and kidnapped "for real", and apparently tortured, by someone who started using his twitter account to tweet hints and taunts at Sherlock.  Sherlock, assuming John was safe with Mycroft, did nothing.  Eventually he figured it out, saved John, and apologized.  And last I heard, all is well at 221B, lol.

 

(Also, Moriarty's account is active, Mycroft and Lestrade are in some kind of relationship, and Molly is with Dimmock but being threatened and in some kind of trouble.  Much is the drama, lol.)

 

I'm not sure how to link to twitter, I'm hardly on there.  =/  But here are some tumblr posts with screenshots of a few of the tweets (many have been deleted now, because Sherlock "promised" John):

[Van Buren Supernova]

W... what did I just read? :O

 

 

Anyway, thanks for the descriptions, I don't like to click on twitter or tumblr links, it confuses me, I don't know where to look!!

 

 

How to get away with murder.. on the list!

Not that I need .. uhmm.. tips.

[Pseudonym]

How the hell did poor Derren Brown get dragged into it? Aside from a couple of seconds of TEH he's nothing to do with Sherlock is he?

[Artemis]

I have no idea, honestly.  I heard someone say that the writers are big fans of Derren Brown, but... ?

 

 

[Pseudonym]

Maybe for daring to be in it and gay he must have a sinister conspiracy theory too. 

[J.P.]

Yes, lol.  This is one of the "clues" I saw for the March 8th date: http://warmth-and-constancy.tumblr.com/post/156148140920/marcespot-guys-um-i-dont-mean-to-freak-you

This reads like Trump's Twitter. It basically states it's Derren's fault that they have mutated into a ligue of furies.

 

Yes the 8th of March - this damn display was quite prominently shown, and there is no reason for showing this, storywise. :P

[Pseudonym]

Don't quite get the logic of making us fascists. Wouldn't that make us more likely to harass Moftiss? Explain yourself Derren!

[J.P.]

It's the alternative logic :D

[Arcadia]

I actually found JP's earlier link and read some of it ... and Twitter just makes no sense to me. Just a bunch of random, pointless comments that have nothing to do with each other or anything else. I got the joke but it was hardly worth the effort, imo. (Sorry if I've just offended any Twitter fans, but that thing is just so not me.)

 

Anyway, I think I read that Derren Brown is a friend of Martin's. (?)

[Carol the Dabbler]

The celebrity roasts used to be kinda funny, if you're into a bunch of men sitting around drinking and teasing each other. Not quite my cup of tea, but watchable. Maybe they've gotten rougher, or maybe people's expectations have changed. I'd have to watch some new ones to have an opinion, and I don't much see the point.

[J.P.]

Yes Twitter can be a mess.

I thought the game was fun at the beginning, but it's really hard to find out the linearity of it, and other people's comments make it even worse. Oh, well, nice try.

[Pseudonym]

Mary and Kitty Reilly knew each other and there is video evidence ;)

 

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

OK, who has not seen Series 4 yet?

 

The staff is discussing when to end the spoiler ban, and we need your input.

 

Thank you!

[Van Buren Supernova]

Told you guys they look exactly the same. :p

 

Who laughed at me back then when I thought John was dating Kitty Rilley at the beginning of TEH? Hmmm?? :p
