Hmmm, did they want to sent us a subliminal message about this show from the very start?

And the statue is not Cupid - it´s Anteros, the god of requited love.

What a nice find, nakahara.
Nothing is unintentional.

All this subtext needs to be acted on, methinks.

Does that mean "shag like bunnies"?

Lilythiell · August 21, 2015 3:52 pm

Yes, something along those lines... :D

Harriet · August 21, 2015 4:00 pm

"something along ..." tsts

tonnaree · August 21, 2015 5:25 pm

Because I really want them to shag like bunnies.

Lilythiell · August 21, 2015 6:28 pm

Ah, but they want to do it, too...
It's rather clear from Sherlock's POV...John needs only to stop thinking.
Sherlock, make him a "nice cup of coffee", will you?

But isn't it supposed to be tea?

Lilythiell · August 21, 2015 9:18 pm

I was quoting Cabin Pressure, here
But, yes, tea.Tea works. Tea...in this fandom...is paramount.

ukaunz · August 21, 2015 9:31 pm

Cabin Pressure
It is interesting though, all the little references that are in this show... and I still can't get over the Elephant in the Room, I mean that's not even an ACD case, Moftiss came up with that one themselves. They're obviously trying to tell us something.

Lilythiell · August 21, 2015 9:55 pm

There's indeed something.
I mean, just have a look at BBCOne Facebook page. When they reran The Empty Hearse, you know that scene when John tells Mrs. Hudson "Sherlock was not my boyfriend" ? Well, they've made a screenshot out of it, posted it onto their page and 99.99% of the comments made it very clear that nobody buys that, John. Mrs. Hudson has it right.
How is it possible that so many people see the same thing if there's not "a thing" to see in the first place?

They see but they do not observe!

So sad.

Oh, no.

Have something nicer. I nearly jumped the TV when I heard the dialogue:

mrshouse · August 24, 2015 12:59 pm

The shaving cannot have been brought into it for nothing...

SusiGo · August 24, 2015 1:02 pm

No. Seems to be a gay romantic trope.
