So, according to to Steven Moffat, (I was at the sherlocked convention today) After Sherlock saves Irene, She pulls a gun on him, which she picked up as Sherlock was butchering the executioners, and makes him take off all of his clothes, saying that she needs to escape in a disguise. Eventually, he gives in and is left sanding surrounded by dead bodies completely naked while Irene escapes. That’s the last he sees of her.

Okaaaaay.... That is one interesting explanation. Not sure if I like that any better then Benedict's version which I really never needed to read.

Mofftiss Sherlocked Panel summary:  http://cuoreridente.tumblr.com/post/117325629382/mofftiss-sherlocked-panel

What I took away from that summary:

 

I REFUSE to believe that Molly and Moriarty... ewww, no.  I can't even type it.

 

 

Not shockingly, my ship was sunk before it sailed.  But I already knew that.  lol

 

Lestrade and Mycroft bits aren't really new news, but nice to read/confirm.  Also, glad he briefly touched on the whole "Is Sherlock suicidal in ASIP?"  I know that's been addressed on here, but if that's the case, then can we only assume that Sherlock was simply tempted by the game?

 

[sfmpco]

The ship hasn't sailed... it's still on the water... just waiting.  Drifting.  Something more is coming S4.  I can feel it.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!! What happened to the rofl emote? I need it here if I ever did.

 

Remember when Benedict Cumberbatch said that what happened between Sherlock and Irene in Karachi was "romantic"? Either he and Steven Moffat hat wildly different head canons or our favorite actor has a very strange sense of romance...

 

Too bad they didn't shoot this. Hey, maybe they did! Maybe, when Irene reappears (she will reappear some day, won't she? Just briefly? Inside the mind palace at least? Please?), she will reveal this little incident to the amusement of Scotland Yard. Lestrade will have a blast.

[sfmpco]

Yeah, I think Moffat and Ben have completely different head canon about Karachi.  Interesting that all the actors had head canon about their characters except Johnathan Aris who deflected the whole thing about Anderson's private life to the fans and said they would know since they write about it.

[sfmpco]

Creepy and cool... this was on display at the con...

And Mark Gatiss has a different head canon, because he said he didn't think Sherlock had killed anyone before CAM. So there are some things they haven't thought out as thoroughly as they claim to have done .... surprise? :D

 

No more rofl emotie? Nooooo! Wait .... what's this right here?

Yes those should be viewable without an account. Only private accounts aren't viewable.

What happened to the rofl emote? I need it here if I ever did.

First, some terminology, since I've made up my own: The smiley button is the traditional yellow smiley face in the rows of buttons at the top of the reply box. If you click the smiley button, you get a row of smileys at the bottom of the reply box, which I will refer to as the smiley toolbar. They don't all show up at once, but you can scroll forwards and backwards to what I will call additional pages of smileys by clicking the right and left arrows at the ends. OK?

 

I have noticed that the smiley toolbar does not necessarily include all of the smileys. It looks to me like there are (at least sometimes) smileys missing at the beginning or end of a page.  The number of smileys displayed per page presumably varies from monitor to monitor, depending on the aspect ratio (shape of the screen).  So one person may be missing one smiley, while another person is missing another one.  However -- you will note that just below the smiley toolbar there are the words "Show All."  If you click those words, you'll get a separate little window that does indeed show all of the smileys (though you'll need to scroll up or down to see them all).

 

In either case, if you position your cursor in the reply box at the spot where you want the smiley to be, and then click on the desired smiley in either the toolbar or the little window, that smiley will magically appear in your reply.

Yup, you can. Just go to Twitter.com, start typing the account name into the Search Twitter box at the top of the page, and then click on the account name in the drop-down menu that will appear.

DID YOU MISS ME? 

[sittything]

DID YOU MISS ME? 

 

Well?????  Story time!!!

 

[J.P.]

Bear with me. I don't know where to start, or how to start or in which form... My brain spits some incoherent bits and pieces, it feels as if I was away for at least a week. Need to refill my batteries.

It was walking and running without end. Probably made a marathon distance over those days. Without proper eating (no time), dehydrated (no time for loo), and with a brain having the hardest time processing all the data and reacting with a delay of several seconds.

A girl can get too much...

 

My face hurts from laughing during the event and grinning stupidly on the plane on my way home.

 

Met lovely Sherlockandjohn and dragged her around London to some easily available set locations.

How are you, Sherlockandjohn?

[sittything]

I'm jealous you guys got to meet up.

[sfmpco]

This is an absolutely lovely story out of the convention.

So, JP, you gave Sue Vertue a box of chocolates for Steven (seeing as he has a personal thing where he will never buy them himself but will gladly take them from others!)

[Carol the Dabbler]

Sherlockandjohn is, as she promised, posting convention memories & photos on her blog:  Sherlock, the Sociopath

[J.P.]

Steven had whole piles of chocolate lying on his table each time I saw him signing. I think this was a plot of his boys to make Big Moff give his little secret away in the interview! BTW, Little Sherlock was also there! :D

[SherlockedCAMPer]

JP glad you and sherlockandjohn were able to meet.  From the posts on her blog, it looked like a fun convention.

[J.P.]

Still sorting photos. In the meanwhile my poor brain went from a bit high to a bit depressed and I can't stop thinking of things I should have done, I forgot, I didn't manage or didn't think about, missed or totally messed up. That I overestimated my spoken English (which I use once in few years) and wasn't be able to be a reporter for you fellow obsessed. Totally banging my head against the wall for being an obedient citizen (must be my German half) and not (sound)recording the talks. The sound was clear and loud enough to have a good record, even if only for transcripts. 

Totally disappointed with my old brain refusing to react in time and making right decisions.

For not being at the auctions - they had scripts there apparently. (Okay, maybe it was better this way, but still I would like the scripts to appear somewhere for us all to read)

For not being able to multitask - like making photos AND listening to what was said.

So if you want to have a look for the contents of panel discussion, you have to google. You might ask me questions about guests' answers, because from I've read so far, there are some misinterpretations floating over the net already. 

On the other side, don't quote me as a reliable source. I cannot guarantee that I myself remember things as they really were.

------

Apart from this some trivial stuff:

 

I'm not sure where this effect comes from, but generally all actors look smaller than one expect. Maybe it's because in movies they tend to fill most of the screen, and when you see them against your normal field of vision that covers MUCH bigger area than a TV or cinema screen - they look skinny and tiny! 

 

I was expecting Rupert being a huge guy. He isn't. Loo looks so small and fragile, like you could hold her inside your palms like a kitty. We've run into Jonathan Aris backstage and hardly noticed him, not to mention - recognized. (Okay, I did, but again - my reaction span was like four seconds, so as the signal finally reached my consciousness, he was long gone). Not that any of our very important group would do anything to bother him, but a nod and a smile would be nice... 

 

Ben looks tiny too, but he doesn't when he's on stage. Actually only Mark wasn't smaller than I expected. 

And folks, Lara is freaking beautiful in person, much more beautiful being her natural self, than she was in character. She is breathtaking! Tiny - but breathtaking. ;)

[sittything]

J.P. don't beat yourself up about what you did or didn't do.    I'm looking forward to seeing any photos you feel like sharing!

 

I knew that Una, Loo and Lara were all pretty tiny (not that I can talk b/c I think they're all bigger than me save maybe Una).  I was surprised how much of a giant Gatiss looks height-wise compared to everyone else in group photos I saw online from Sherlocked!  

 

ETA:  Never mind, I just googled Una's height.  She's got a good inch or more on me.   lol
