Mark Gatiss: Mycroft's popularity doesn't surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Steven Moffat: It's just a shame Mark is ugly and badly dressed.

Guest: I've heard a theory on how Sherlock faked his death involving anti-gravity, a cat, and buttered toast. Shall we expect the solution to be any more plausible?

Steven Moffat: No.

Guest: I have a theory on how Sherlock faked his death regarding the packets of crisps still in his pockets. Plausible?

Steven Moffat: Yes, that's it, you've got it.

Mark Gatiss: Entirely plausible. Were they 'Wotsits'?

Mark Gatiss: Could crisps cushion his fall?

Guest: Will John ever get married? Or is he married to his work/Sherlock now?

Mark Gatiss: John is married to his wok. he's a big fan of Chinese food.

Guest: Have you guys ever thought about having John and Molly date?

Steven Moffat: I'm not sure Molly is able to retain John in her memory any time she breaks eye contact with him. Like the Silence in Doctor Who

Guest: I'm a little confused about the timeline of series 2. Does Hound take place during Scandal? They both seem to be set around christmas time.

Steven Moffat: Well I'd be interested in the time line theories, that's an old standby of Sherlock Holmes fans. We assumed they happened sequentially, but what do we know?

Guest: Something I've been dying to know, what was in the present (in Scandal), that Molly bought Sherlock for Christmas? I bet he'd be difficult to buy for!

Steven Moffat: No idea what Molly bought. Did Sherlock ever open it, that's the question.... Ohhh!!!

Mark Gatiss: Molly's present? A tantalus, perhaps?

Steven Moffat: Cocaine!!

Mark Gatiss: (after in pause in questions flow) Starving. Has everyone had their tea?

Guest: If you could ask sir Arthur Conan Doyle one question, what would it be?

Mark Gatiss: How come you're so bloody brilliant? I asked him one last night through a medium, actually. His answer was "Six and three eighths".

Guest: What do you think of the Believe In Sherlock campaign the fans started back in January?

Steven Moffat: Best viral marketing campaign ever. And beyond thrilling for us.

Guest: How long does it typically take you guys to write and film an episode?

Mark Gatiss: A hundred years.

Steven Moffat: On a good day.

Guest: How do you decide who writes each episode?

Mark Gatiss: We fall into a brown study, consume ten ounces of ship's tobacco and, when the fug clears, we know who's doing what.

Mark Gatiss: Oh and there's wine.

Steven Moffat: Do you have wine there? I don't have any wine.

Mark Gatiss: No wine. no. I'm having bacon and eggs in a minute, though.

Steven Moffat: I've been trying to make toast. Crumbs all over the computer.

Guest: Do you have anything you'd like to say to your fans in the United States?

Steven Moffat: Please watch our shows. And buy the DVDs.

Guest: Do you have another theme in mind like this season: Love, Fear & Death?

Mark Gatiss: Yes. Tea, Milk and Sugar.

Mark Gatiss: Love, Fear & Death are very big. We have to top that. Sloth, Pain & Eczema?

Guest: How many trench coats are used in the average Sherlock episode?

Steven Moffat: There is no average Sherlock episode. The very idea!

Guest: The blood in the show is so realistic! Mind sharing the recipe?

Steven Moffat: Hit people.

Mark Gatiss: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhuR1VMkpXM

Ruth Spencer: We've had thousands of readers and comments today - thank you so much for joining us! Any final thoughts before we go?

Mark Gatiss: Yes. As a nice surprise for our US fans, I can exclusively reveal that Sherlock faked his death by

Mark Gatiss: Oh God! We're out of time!

Steven Moffat: Very exciting to hear from Sherlock fans. I suppose we now have to buckle down and make some more. Or just make some toast. I'd really like some toast.

Steven Moffat: And yes, please vote for us in the YouTube thing. Cos if we lose we'll be too upset to make any more. And I'll axe Doctor Who as well. And shoot Santa Claus and some puppies.

Regarding US transmission cuts: A Scandal In Belgravia

bakerstreetbabes:

For those who wanted to know what was cut from the USA showing of A Scandal In Belgravia. (please let me know if I’ve missed anything)

Some of the montage at the beginning of the episode, including The Speckled Blonde

243 types of tobacco ash

“Sex doesn’t alarm me,” exchange in Buckingham Palace

Smoking deduction in Buckingham Palace and not being part of The Commonwealth.

Sherlock stealing the ashtray (:( sadface)

Random bits of dialogue and some entrances and exits

Some of the Christmas scene regarding Irene’s death and John’ breaking up with his girlfriend.

Mycroft calling John about drugs and it possibly being a “danger night.” Sock index, etc.

Some of the scene with Mycroft and John at Speedy’s.

It’s very important to understand that cuts are for time and not content (obviously as all the nudity stayed in). Sherlock has a shorter block than 90 minutes on PBS, so they have to cut to fit it. Hartswood make the cuts, not PBS, so the decision lies with Sue Vertue & co. Please don’t be angry at them, it just has to be done and you’ve all seen the episode anyways, and it’ll be in full on the DVD.

WRONG!

As in THIS IS JUST WRONG that they had to make these cuts, not that your information is incorrect. PBS can make adjustments to time slots if they want to, so they can show the entire MASTERPIECE. Harrumph.

First, one of the most observant men in the world thought John was flirting with him. Now, the most observant woman in the world thinks John is in love with Sherlock, just like she is, in defiance of sexual orientation. Look at us both. Neither of us are interested in men, yet we both want this one.

The evidence is stacking up against you, John.

I like to think of this moment as a turning point, because he doesn’t deny it again after this. I mean, they’re still not a couple the way people think they are. But they might as well be, at this point. They’re a couple for all intents and purposes. No one means more to John than Sherlock does. They share a flat, they sometimes share a room, they’re joined at the hip, and John loves Sherlock. And Sherlock loves John.

Irene is the one who must be jealous. John is the one Sherlock’s chosen. John is the one Sherlock talks to, even if he isn’t there. Sherlock always gets the last word, John says; their conversation never ends, but Irene can’t get one started. Sherlock sends John texts beckoning him, sends him texts when he goes for a walk on the moor, follows him wherever he goes. Irene’s texts go unanswered. John’s the one Sherlock has dinner with, in the end, even when he’s not hungry.

Irene turns out to be far more morally ambiguous than Sherlock is, heavily leaning toward the evil side even as she isn’t strictly evil herself. She’s willing to play with Moriarty if it serves her interests, in spite of the fact that he’s vicious and doesn’t care who will get hurt along the way. Innocent victims are his bread and butter. Irene doesn’t seem to mind that. Sherlock doesn’t mind either, per se, but he strives to prevent innocent victimhood all the same, not to participate in it. Irene chooses to participate in chaos while Sherlock always chooses to turn chaos back into order. Devil on the side of the angels? Perhaps. Irene is most definitely not on the side of the angels.

Knowing that Sherlock loves John, and that John loves Sherlock, she makes an extremely agressive play for Sherlock anyway. She knows what she’s disrupting. She knows she’s making john jealous and uncomfortable. She takes what she wants, that one. Or she tries to. She’s not even shy about it, not in the least.

Man, I love Irene.

Look at us both. Yes, indeed. She’s right: it’s a useful comparison. Sherlock isn’t interested in getting into bed with moral ambiguity, literally or figuratively. He’s got John, his north star of moral principle. Irene kisses Sherlock on the same spot John punches him: both of those actions are performed with love. And Sherlock, being Sherlock, chooses the straightforward punch over the complicated kiss.

Of all the things Sherlock was expecting to find at the pool, seeing John wearing a homemade bomb fashioned out of two traffic cones was probably the furthest from his mind.

You must know what this is about by now. For more traffic cone hilarity, check my #traffic cone tag.
