(formerly anarchythatirun, out-for-texting-and-scones)
Musical fangirl and total nerd, obsessed with Doctor Who, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Cabin Pressure, In the Heights, Les Misérables, Downton Abbey, Merlin, Superwholock and all of its derivatives, and an increasingly large assortment of perpetually flawless people! This blog mainly consists of my spazzing over Doctor Who, my spazzing over how pretty Karen Gillan is, my shipping everything under the sun, sansa stark appreciation fests, horrible puns, and my attempts at gif-ing. I'm also a card-carrying feminist/equal rights supporter, so check your privilege at the door!

Thanks for stopping by!
- Steven Moffat: Her triumph in the original books was moving house with her husband. What kind of climax is that after 90 minutes? (On criticisms of his portrayal of Irene Adler)
- Moffat: You can extract Mark Gatiss’ views on dogs from The Hounds of Baskerville! Because what Mark likes to do with dogs is accuse them of murder, and then blow them up!
- Sue Vertue: If you don’t know they’re there, I hope you don’t miss it. Benedict: I hate it. (On cutting scenes for American audiences)
- Benedict Cumberbatch: I don’t play Martin Freeman! And I’ve also fortunately got a friendship that’s about strong enough to have a cup of tea with him. (On having tea with any of the characters he’s played)
- Benedict: OH GOD NO! He’d run into the door and spill tea all over himself! And I’d have to clean it up! (When fans helpfully suggested Martin Crieff for the tea question)
- Moffat: I’d be doing Sherlock and Doctor Who! (If he had a blank check to work on anything he wanted)
- Host: The actor he refers to, Jonny Lee Miller, was also in Frankenstein-- Benedict: I think they know.
- Benedict: And she had a pattern of scratches all over her hand. And I said have you been traveling with a cat recently? And she had! (On making deductions in real life)
- Fan: I’m not a superfan-- Moffat: DO YOU KNOW THERE’S TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
- Benedict: Or an actor. …. That’s NOT a confession! (On the people who do cocaine)
- Moffat: The back story of Sherlock Holmes? I’m not sure I know the back story of Mark Gatiss!
- Moffat: Karen, I love you! Matt, will you marry me? Moffat, could you put your head down a bit? (On filming Doctor Who in NYC)
- Moffat: Me. And it'd be a stage direction. (Who would have the last word: The Doctor or Sherlock)
- Moffat: I always though the meeting would be more fun between John Watson and Amy Pond! They’d be sitting there chatting, going, “What’s your one like?”
I’ve always been able to trust my senses, the evidence of my own eyes until last night. It’s like they edit themselves out of your memory the minute you look away. The exact second you’re not looking at them, you can’t remember anything.
When I turned again, Sherlock Holmes was standing smiling at me across my study table. I rose to my feet, stared at him for some seconds in utter amazement, and then it appears that I must have fainted for the first and the last time in my life. The Adventure of the Empty House (1903).
Forget the phone call, forget the fall, forget John alone at Baker Street.
This is what broke me.
This change in demeanour, the nod of “get yourself into check, soldier on” and the military turn, is John: destroyed.
This is whitewashed John, boring John, bored John…John Before Sherlock.
Except now it’s John After Sherlock, and he knows exactly what (who) he is missing.
Exactly.
GUISE
IT’S ALL OKAY
THIS IS HOW IT WENT DOWN
MOLLY. SWEET MOLLY.
I LOVE YOU, MOLLY. I REALLY, REALLY LOVE YOU!
