The Pink Lady Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've just found out that the director who did such a wonderful job on The Final Problem, Benjamin Caron, has received so much abuse about it that he's deleted his Twitter account. I am shocked to hear all these idiots behaving this way. They don't own the show or the characters and have no right to do this. Please can we invite Benjamin to the convention to show him some genuine Sherlock love? And any or all of the other directors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfairie Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I can't believe people feel that they are entitled to act this way. Have they no decency? It makes me so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly second this though with people behaving like this I'd doubt they would want to come sadly. Edited January 16, 2017 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I am shocked to hear all these idiots behaving this way. They don't own the show or the characters and have no right to do this. The trouble is they think they do and nothing will change their minds. I do get the theory, after all the show wouldn't be a success with out us but I agree with you and have often said the same to others for similar comments when they start throwing their toys around - you don't own X, they can do what they want. If you want it your way go out and do it yourself (impractical I know, but the only realistic answer.) I'm a Johnlocker but don't have the slightest problem with anyone elses ship. We all see things our own way and I respect that even if I personally think it's silly. I actually don't want John and Sherlock together in the show, I save that for the fanfiction I read, as it would totally ruin the program in my opinion. They are better as they are, true and deep friends that love and complete each other in a non sexual way. There are certain ships I'll never get since I just don't see it but respect each to their own and all that. Unfortunately nothing can be done as people like that feel justified in their behavior and unfortunately with the global network we live in they are free to join their fellows in riling them selves up and joining fellow like minded people in justifying their behaviour. I'm sorry that Benjamin has been treated this way and I hope he'll be able to deal with it. I'm sure Mark, Sue, Stephen and the BBC are helping him as this is unfortunately becoming fairly common now. I hope that Twitter deal with all the people who have been abusive but I doubt it will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castleforever Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think it's a given after that final show that we need Andrew Scott there, he's just the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pink Lady Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just remembered that I would LOVE it if we could have Alice Lowe as a guest - she played Tessa, Mjr Sholto's nurse in The Sign of Three, and is generally brilliant. I loved her interaction with Sherlock in the stag night scenes. But I also love her comedy work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Sightseers, a really good little film. And she's just released another, Prevenge, which I'm hoping to see next week. A bit in the mould of Julia Davis, if you know her work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castleforever Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is it just me or is the guest list for this one a little lacking compared to the American one? Fingers crossed they pull some more fab guests out before October or just Andrew Scott will do!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they pull some more fab guests out before October or just Andrew Scott will do!!! I personally am extremely happy with the current UK guest list and do not think it is lacking in any way, yes the US event does have more of the 'bigger' names but we have plenty of time. We have guests that haven't appeared before, and with Vinette they have now had all of the main cast (barring Martin of course). Of course I hope Benedict can come again and almost pray that Martin considers coming. Edited February 23, 2017 by Raylenth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4vem88 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I hope we get the Sherlocked 'regulars' such as Andrew Scott, Mark Gatiss etc. Would love to see Lars Mikkelsen and Lara Pulver return as well as Jonathon Aris. and do hope Martin considers coming too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pink Lady Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I don't think it can be said too many times that WE WOULD REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE IT if Martin Freeman would grace us with his presence. And it won't be quite the same without lovely Mark Gatiss. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
