    Some canonic quotations for the nice morning:

    -----------------------------------

    I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

    When Watson wakes up, Holmes is usually in his bedroom, ogling him, pretending to only be there due some business reasons.

    Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)

    I heard about that one before, SusiGo, and it's quite awesome.

    Since this seems like the fitting thread: Will any of you guys give me the background of the "softly, softly"-comment? I don't know the story to this one, I understand it was someting Mark Gatiss once said? But I don't know the context.

    Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)

    Of course. It refers to this:

    I always thought what Russell [T Davies] did in Doctor Who was extremely ground breaking in a slightly more subversive way than it looked like. It never occurred to me that it was too on the nose, what he did brilliantly was incidentally gay characters obviously as well as some more in your face ones. One of my favourite stories is Gridlock, there’s an elderly couple of ladies who are together and it just sort of passes by and that’s the way - softly, softly. That’s how the revolution happens as it were, you just become aware that people are incidentally gay. I think when the day comes that you have a big detective show where the first half hour was this man at work and he’s a maverick and all the usual things and then we went home and his boyfriend says, ‘Are you alright?’ it was just a thing, then something genuinely changed. I think the problem still is it becomes the issue. I think the thing with gay characters is that it has to be an issue as opposed to being part of everyday life, which of course as we all know is what it is.

    Mark Gatiss in an interview in Gay Times, February 2012


    The attitude towards incidentally gay characters in Dr Who has been continued by Steven Moffat, by the way. He has for example a crime-solving couple in 19th century who are a homage to ACD. Just that they are both female, married, and one of them is a green reptile-like alien.
