Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it? So many wonderful moments, and some of the cuts make such a wonderful connection between various episodes from different series... great. And sad.  

I don´t have words, it´s just so wonderful, need a handkerchief now - more than one.

Posting this here because I don't know where else to put it, plus I know the readers of this thread will probably sympathize with this writer's frustration.  And they wonder why we write and read johnlock fan fic to fix the canon we're given?

The writer is anigrrrl2, and I found it posted on marta-bee's tumblr.Mark and Steven were like let’s make a modern Sherlock Holmes and load it with subtext in every ounce of the show and make it super gay and create this epically heart breaking love story and change Watson’s character so that he’s even more in love with Holmes than he’s ever been in any adaptation and let’s have Mary actually be an evil villain so Watson doesn’t even have to be sad when she dies and have Holmes write a public love letter to Watson and vow he’ll be there for him the rest of his life and have Holmes literally claw his way back from the dead for Watson and show Mary in her wedding dress shooting him so that there is absolutely no question that watching Watson get married and leave him was the most painful moment of his life and have a whole bunch of parallel scenes between Watson and Holmes and female love interests just to unequivocally show how in love they are and have the queerness of the show be played up literally in the first fifteen minutes of the first episode when Sherlock makes a heteronormative assumption and gets it wrong and have John say “It’s all fine” and bring James Sholto from canon and change him so he’s associated with John instead of Mary and actually call him John’s “ex” just so we can firmly establish he’s bisexual, and we’ll spend a lot of time writing sexually and romantically suggestive lines like “I like my doctors clean shaven” and “I don’t mind/any time” and “I need some, get me some” and we’ll ramp up the emotional torture these two go through for each other like 1000x what it is in ACD and then…wait for it…this is gonna be great…THEY AREN’T IN LOVE AND JOHN WILL STAY MARRIED TO A WOMAN AND THEY’LL JUST BE BLOKES WHO SOLVE CRIMES TOGETHER OCCASIONALLY. AND NOT END UP TOGETHER. AND ALL OF THAT SEXUAL AND ROMANTIC TENSION THAT WE CAREFULLY CODED AND INSINUATED INTO NEARLY EVERY SINGLE SCENE OF THE SHOW MEANT ABSOLUTELY JACKSHIT. That will make total sense and be brilliant!I’m sure that’s how the conversation went.

Wow, the girl is all worked up!
But I agree with every word she has written.

I think most of us are worked up, we're just not as articulate about it as this person was. And we spend a lot of effort trying to be polite about our opinions, at least, on this forum. I almost didn't post this, because it borders on impolite, but finally I decided I couldn't resist-- 'cause I agree with every word too!
 

Yes, that about nails it. It'll be truly brilliant if everything they have shown us so far in terms of romance will eventually have no meaning at all. There are so many hints, there is so much proof in the show - and no, we are not just making it up.

Thanks for your hint. I feard I understood it in a wrong way, but the statement - if you take it not in an ironic way - was exaclty my opinion to this issue.
I saw the thread you are guiding me to and in future I will try to give my 50 cents to the discussion at the right part of the forum.

No, we aren't. I've said all along that someone would have to be blind, and blind in more ways than just in their eyes, not to see and understand the clearly pre-slash character picture the writers have woven into everything. Those two were meant for each other. The actors and directors make sure the eye sechs and body language of sexual chemistry is constant, and IMO all of it serves only to wind up the audience. Which we are. Wound up, to the max. I don't think they'll ever "make them gay" in canon--  when and if they do, I will more than happily eat my hat. But in the meanwhile, I think the showrunners, writers and actors are just having us all on.

 

Shallow? Where? I don't see it.
