How The Hell Are Americans Meant To Avoid The Sherlock Season 3 Episode 3 Spoiler?

Relatively early on in the third episode of the third series/season of Sherlock, The Final Vow, we discover something. Immediately it affects things we encountered in previous episodes, radically transforming the way we view them.

Now, we've all seen it in Britain. We're all tweeting about it, facebooking about it, posting about it, tumblring about it, feels and all.

So how are Americans meant to encounter the first, second and third episode, starting on PBS in three weeks, without being spoiled?

Because, believe me, you really don't want to be spoiled on this one.

We're not spoiling it here. But someone will. All it will take is a line, and that's it. Utterly ruined. Oddly, the final cliffhanger of this episode won't be as big a spoiler as this one. But we're not spoiling that, either.

Get off the internet. Fly to Britain and watch it on the BBC iPlayer (which is what Bleeding Cool's editor-in-chief Hannah Means Shannon has done). Or do something naughty. Or naughtyish.

@richjohnston Any USAian not using the FF extension that makes the BBC site think you're in the UK deserves spoilers & scorn! #Hinterland

Which is legal. I think. Isn't it?

PBS, did you not learn from Downton Abbey?

Ah well, good luck out there, colonial cousins and you can look forward to the nice line about the bees…
