Re: Johnlock: The Official Debate
Exactly. Nothing unusual about that. People keep doing that all the time with other people in whom they are not sexually interested.

There is an element of this fandom that considers itself "above all that", who are intrigued with an asexual Sherlock, a life of enforced sexual abstinence, and yes, who do think that life as a non-religious monk is far superior than getting wet and nasty with someone you care about. I don't get that, but.... I do defend their right to think so and to say they think so. I don't think most people have any objection to a having a sex life (at least from what I can see, here in the back of the cave where I live), but.... each to his own, eh?
Amen to that.
I would just like to state for the record that I am emphatically Pro-Sex.

I wasn't wondering, either. And it's all soooo fine.

Well, I'm a little bit surprised, to be honest....

Re: Johnlock: The Official Debate
Hm, that's a bit too generalized for my taste. I think in the history of film making there are lots of examples where male writers and directors got romance right.
Male/male romance? Examples, please, if you can think of them. I'd actually like to watch any of that.
Talking about Moffat and Gatiss specifically might be a different matter. But maybe they didn't really want John to look straight at Sherlock in that final scene in HLV...?
It actually could have been a directorial decision (more male input) or a decision about how Martin himself wanted to play it. I have no idea.

Re: Johnlock: The Official Debate
The final scene at the airstrip: So funny to me that when my husband watched it he thought that was one of the best scenes in the show. He said it was "real" and their conversation was "natural". That definitely has to be a male point of view. There I am, pissing and moaning because I wanted "more emotion" from both of them and he thinks it was all just fine.
Oh god, that, "John, there's something I never told you" line made my heart leap right into my throat! I was on the edge of my chair holding my breathe only to be completely crushed and deflated. What an blatent, in-your-face, intentional Johnlock tease - those bastards!!

Ah, sorry, misunderstanding. You said that you don't trust male writers to get romance right, you didn't specifically talk about male/male romance. So I was thinking about romance in general.
