neadodsARTICLES and INTERVIEWS (BELG-only spoilers)
Benedict Cumberbatch Calls Sherlock a Great Dane And Other Revelations. Ben reacts to "hedgehogs that look like Martin Freeman," a "BELG-spoiler flashmob" and that Great Dane.
Lovely interview with Una Stubbs
Benedict Cumberbatch, the uncensored interview
FIC
Before I list recs, the occasionally posted disclaimers. I pretty much read only BBC-oriented fic; the only pairing I'm interested in is John/Sherlock; I didn't cotton to the main character in BELG; mostly the AUs I'm into are supernatural (but I don't do vampires); and I point-blank refuse to read any AU where one character is another one's actual property.
I'm not judging (slight lie: on that last category I'm judging HARD), I'm mostly saying if anything else is your cuppa, you'll have to find a second reccer who actually reads 'em.
I'm not seeing a lot of people on my flist reccing anymore, so every now and then I feel obligated to let you know what to expect out of me.
No Spoilers
Sherlock and Siri... Dear God Exactly what it says on the tin; discussions between Sherlock and iPhone's Siri.
Sherlock's Sick Day Mostly recced because of the scenes with John's co-workers at the clinic.
What Meets the Eye Obviously written between seasons (it was jossed by BELG but is still enjoyable) it is based on the premise that Sherlock has amnesia, but telling anyone would take all the fun out of deducing what his life had been.
Constantly A nice piece of fanart for the men in Sherlock's life. Art is nonspoilery; comments might be (I haven't read them.)
OTHER
SPOILER*SPOILER*Theory on final ep*SPOILER*SPOILER*
NOW CUSTOMARY NON-SHERLOCK LINK
Video Ghostbusters Tour of New York.
Also, IO9 has possibly the most wittily nasty review outside Dorothy Parker Hint: the reviewer didn't like Dark Shadows. Really, really didn't like Dark Shadows.
Honestly, after watching Dark Shadows, I am convinced Tim Burton set out deliberately to create a movie that encapsulates the slowness of immortality, the vampire's ultimate curse. After all, a movie as tiresome as Dark Shadows does not get made by accident. To drain all the entertainment value out of a movie to this degree requires a mixture of genius and fixity of purpose.
