I agree. Getting boring would be a great obstacle. Or - which I experienced for the first time in S 3 and I don't like it- if I feel forced to like a newly introduced character and I just don't...
In my deepest soul I also believe it will be an ending of the show left ambiguous. Though I always have said this would be a missed opportunity after having cast a damn sexy couple!

Sherlock and John being a couple is not a problem for me. I just believe the showrunners/creators when they say it's a friendship (and that's what I see/feel). I honnestly think that the show will end in a way that everyone will see what they want to see, that it will be open for interpretation.

I think you are probably right.  The more I see and think about this show, the more I feel is open to interpretation, as if they've deliberately made it so that people can see what they want to see.  It's frustrating - sometimes I would just like to be told what I'm supposed to see!   But I also do like the ambiguity sometimes, and that everything isn't explicit and there's room to think about it and examine your own feelings about it. 

The series also seems to be full of times when people are struggling to sort out the truth (and lots of times when, say, Sherlock knows but John doesn't, Mycroft knows but John doesn't).   I think the audience are being put in the same position ... like John.  I get the impression that even the actors don't know everything.  Maybe even the writers don't always, in that they can write something ambiguous without necessarily having to decide which version is "true".   We're left looking for clues and evidence and proof  ... like Sherlock.

I would watch it till the very end of course. Should no Johnlock happen, never ever at all, I hope that the series' final is written in a way that still allows Johnlock to happen in fanfic.

Well, thinking about it, the only way to prevent that would be to kill off Sherlock and / or John.

You know we'd still find a way.   

Indeed. And that it is a wonderful love story with all the classic ingredients. 

Why not? Makes a delicious cake. 

So do I. Especially if it is complicated and takes a lot of patience and effort and at the end you get your reward. 

No, bb. This leaves  out human heart and soul and the dimensions it brings to everyday life and interaction between human beings. As well as performing arts and the feelings they can transport.

Sounds... delicious.
And I totally agree with the "damn sexy couple". Oh god yes, they are perfect together. 
 

I don't see them as perfect together.  Maybe it's because I haven't watched to the end yet?  I don't mean they're impossible ... but not perfect. 

Oh, Solar, time to move the discussion to THE OTHER THREAD.
