"Sherlock" season 3 may be near completion as far as filming, but director Jeremy Lovering reveals that, in typical Steven Moffat fashion, not all is what it seems.

"I think you've got a responsibility to the fan base," says Lovering during an interview with Flicks and the City. "[With 'Sherlock'], the fan base comes with it, and you kind of go, 'Shit, I've got to get this right.'"

"I love them, I absolutely love them," says Lovering regarding working with "Sherlock" co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

"Martin's comic timing a beyond second-to-none. Benedict is funny and brilliant, and there was moments where I felt genuinely, massively inspired."

Currently, "Sherlock" season 3 has Jeremy Lovering credited for filming the season premiere, "The Empty Hearse." "The Sigh of Three" is directed by Colm McCarthy, while "His Last Vow" is currently filming with Nick Hurran as director.

Lovering revealed that one way he combated the massive fan base and paparazzi that followed the Steven Moffat "Sherlock" series was to set up fake filming shots to purposefully mislead observers.

"We did a few false shots, so, you know, there will be things people saw that have nothing to do with [the episode]. That's the way we handled it."

As is per Steven Moffat tradition, fans' opinions remain divided on his trolling.

"They just can't let us have anything can they," writes YouTuber NeldeLempe.

"Moffat trolling 27, 'Sherlock' fandom 0," writes 123kikibear.

"But I love the fact that they actually took valuable time to make fake shots! Whoa, this is dedication," writes Sara Andrade.
