I cannot honestly believe the people who before they found out who Faith-Eurus really was they thought she and Sherlock would make a good romantic couple. Like just let a man and a woman be friends FFS neither of them were even in good mental places for that bullshit, she was suicidal and he was high and depressed and GAY af after being rejected by JOHN, literally all they did was hang out in London walking around and eating, literally he and John do that all the time but sometimes handcuffed together and sometimes while killing people for each other and sometimes with a candle on the table in a romantic restaurant and when Sherlock sees her with a cane all he can think about is John anyways and the night THEY met and ran around London like WTAF
Remember that some setlockers were jumping to that conclusion as they watched the bus stop scene being filmed? Just seeing a man and woman together must mean sexual/romantic interest. And the excuse that the writers are fucking us over didn’t stand, as the one thing I can say for sure, is that nowhere...NOT ONE TIME in BBC Sherlock have the writers ever written Sherlock as straight. Never. All the Irene and Molly scenes are a gay guy dealing with women who have the hots for him and he is intrigued by Irene and fond of Molly. The lady in red was clearly not real, even at setlock we knew it, and was more on a familial basis with Sherlock. And that was a conclusion way before we knew about a sister.
This just proves what we’ve been saying all along. If one of them was a woman, their romantic love wouldn’t even be in question. Eurus is playing fem!John in this scene and suddenly people are willing to see a romance. Shocker.
the weird johnlock touchstones u get when having to deal with the entire cast and crew gaslighting you plus literally everyone else constantly telling you that you’re wrong
like, “i hear what you’re saying but john’s pin number in TBB was 7437”
The main reason why I still don’t buy TFP as what they told us it would be is the balance of importance here:
Chess promo picture with absolutely zero surface reference to former and even following episodes:
gets leaked a few days too early
—- BBC lawyers: “EVERYONE, give it here, NOW, DELETE IT or there’ll be serious consequences for you ALL!”
The Final Problem, their “series finale”, “insane wishfulfillment” and so-called “culmination of everything [they]’ve been building up to for seven years”:
doesn’t require NDAs at the BFI screening at all, which was done days before the actual airing date of the episode – which has never been done before either;
gets heavily spoilered on the internet as a result of the missing NDAs
and “accidentally” leaked twice within a day
—- BBC lawyers: (…)
—- official Sherlock twitter account: “We’ve been aware that #Sherlock: The Final Problem has been leaked online. If you stumble across it, please don’t share. #KeepMeSpoilerFree.”
—- Sue Vertue: “You’ve done so well keeping it spoiler free. Almost there!”
So, you’re trying to tell me that ONE promo PICTURE, that still seems totally unrelated to the show on the surface level, is MORE important than their maybe-LAST, “best” EPISODE ever??
Great, we’re back to it. We’re going to see Benedict Cumberbatch again, and Martin Freeman! And they’re going to be reprising their characters, which we haven’t seen for so long, it’s gonna be so great, they’re gonna be super-sleuthing all over the place, and solving crimes! No. What we got instead was ‘The Many Adventures of Mary Watson and Her Sidekicks: Hat-Boy and Husband’.
