I’m not expecting this Benedict Cumberbatch post to be as popular as yesterday’s (yesterday’s was the biggest post of the day, huzzah!). But I just wanted to post these photos because we got MORE in. And they just make me happy. I’m happy with the idea that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson exist in modern-day London, that they are on the side of angels (but they are not angels). That we too can become SherLOCKED. That Benedict Cumberbatch roams the streets of London in his deerstalker. GAH.
You can see even more photos from the set of Sherlock here. At some point, some dude seems to be attacking our lovely Dr. Watson! And at some point, Sherlock seems to be commanding someone on a motorcycle. These are not spoilers, are they? Because even if you’re familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, there is no way to figure out how the writers are going to modernize and change them, yet still keep the very essence of Sherlock and Watson. We do know that Episode 1 of Season 3 will be called “The Empty Hearse”.
The second episode will be called “The Sign of Three”. Oh, here’s a minor spoiler (only if you’re not at all familiar with the original stories): many seem to think that Dr. Watson will meet his wife in Season 3, in episode 2 – because “The Sign of Three” is based on a Doyle story in which Watson meets his future wife. But what about Sherlock? Will he ever get a girlfriend? Or will he always remain The Virgin to his brother’s “Iceman”? Will Sherlock and Molly Hooper ever go on a date?!!?!?
But here’s my real question: can this utter and complete Cumberbatch adoration be sustained throughout the year? 2013 is The Year of Cumberbatch, you know. We are all going to be thoroughly ‘Batched by December. Some of us may have even gotten pregnant from looking at too many sexy Cumby photos. Can we keep it up? Or will he annoy us at some point? Will there be a Cumberbacklash?!
