I'm so happy for you here, tonnaree! I too get all weak in the knees when my turn comes, but you managed fabulously! And Andrew was so sweet too!

 Welcome back, tonnaree! Glad to hear everything turned out well and you had a great time!

Hubby = husband.

I really enjoyed Sue's "but we were NEVER making that show, we’ve ALWAYS known what direction we were going, and that wasn’t - John doesn’t want that, and Sherlock doesn’t want ANYTHING" reply, having been that "Sherlock doesn't want anything" fan well before discovering johnlock

I'm also happy to hear that Sue is so graciously sensitive. Dealing with all the hate thrown your way must be hard so I'm glad she has ways to cope and remain so generous with the fans.

Thank you.
Maybe they just didn't want to afford the rent.

Well I don't know about the con party, but Moffat went on record repeatedly saying they had't had time to talk about s5 yet. We all know how busy Ben's schedule is. I think the situation is pretty clear.
Arguing with a fan over a drink might have been a funny exercise for him and nothing else.

See I don't think she does.
I think Sherlock think she's very smart at disappearing and fooling everyone...and that gives him an idea.

We need Liberty to answer this question since we are on the same side of the argument.

But why would Irene rely on Sherlock to help her disappear? She has no reason to trust him whatsoever.

Somebody really needs to aske Steven about this one...if only there was a handy con coming up...

It's not like there's SHERLOCKED in LA right now *whistles*
I'd have loved for Steven to answer this question too, altho I'll probably stick to my head canon anyway

I don't subscribe to the POV that the attraction was of a sexual kind, but it is still not an argument for Johnlock in my book.

I don't intend it as an argument for johnlock. I just don't agree that Sherlock playing Irene's theme automatically means they've had sex, since he composed the tune in sadness, thinking she was dead.

Ewige, on the other hand, why would he follow John if he didn't suspect something (Irene being alive)?

He wouldn't follow John to Mycroft so Sherlock probably recognized Kate. I'm good with him suspectimg Irene was alive, but I choose to think he didn't know for sure (I like it when Sherlock suffers. Yep).
In hindsight, the texting, the camera phone on the mantel... it's all too convenient for Irene to be in mortal danger shortly after, but again I prefer to interpret the shown evidence as Sherlock being fooled together with the viewers.
Him knowing she wasn't dead after the mortuary would add to the detective show but chip away from a show about the detective.
