Lovely pics, Solar. 

Btw, they also said that Moriarty was dead and that it was not necessary for Benedict to know about Sherlock's youth and background and that Mary would not be a divisive character. So much for telling the truth.

Well, maybe Moriarty is indeed dead, we don't know yet. But apart from that: agreed. They do have a very interesting understanding of the truth. 

Which they have done and are doing and will continue to do *on purpose*, just to keep fan interest up. Look at this forum for example--  still going strong, and we haven't seen anything new for a year and won't see anything new for another year, but yet we're still here talking discussing arguing defending etc  So from the vantage point of the showrunners and writers, they must be doing something right, and why should they change?
 

So this threads still exists? Good to know. 

This is my view on Mark's Mumbai interview:

So I watched the “Johnlock part” of Mark’s Mumbai interview and was struck once again by how selective his answers were. Gay joke and all that, but not a word about empty chairs, about the dancefloor, about coming back to life for John, about the tarmac scene.

He mentions Sherlock saying he has neither boyfriend nor girlfriend, about suppressing his feelings, about being focussed on his brain only. Which is basically series 1 stuff. 

It is as if series 3 never happened. And this is quite suspicious in itself. 

Thank you, dear.

I will write the same here as in the other thread:

I don't feel their love for each other is "desperately unspoken". It is actually spoken straight out, from Sherlock to John, and from John to Sherlock.

I don't see Johnlock as some sort of secret pining in the closet that none of them dare to talk or think about. It's all there, throughout the show.

Everything they say and do (well, except for SOME thing Sherlock says and does) show this.

It's not the gay jokes that makes me ship Johnlock, it never has been. 

As Susi mentioned earlier, this has all evolved through the seasons. S3 was quite different from S1. I agree with everything you said here, for sure. I still find it curious that lots of fans still insist they just cannot see it. ??? Seems as plain as the proverbial noses on our proverbial faces (to me).

Absolutely. But it's pretty obvious that for some people it is far more important what Mofftiss or other members of the team say in interviews than what is shown in the episodes. There are various reasons why I only take note of what they are saying - but it's not important for how I see the show. I don't need anyone to interpret or explain what I'm seeing or am supposed to be seeing to me.

This is pretty nice, by the way. Mofftiss aren't the only ones who tend to be... creative about the truth:

I know I do not have to prove anything to you, so just for the sake of beauty:

I'm back. Did you miss me? 
Just a quick note on the "last hooray for the gay joke". There is one actually in HLV: the newspapers selling Janine' s story. If you take a close look they write something like " You believe he has an affair with John Watson but it's not true." Just saying.

In this case, believing in Johnlock is far better than believing in God, I'd say.

I always thought that the "last hurrah" for the gay joke concerned Mrs Hudson only. As the comment is said in connection with Mrs Hudson, and how they go on to explain the she should have enough evidence for them not being a couple by now.

(Love those promo pics! That restaurant scene is also not in the series, I guess it might be taken from the reunion, but that image itself isn't form the aired scene).
