As for the acting - it seems that Martin and Benedict again and again subvert what is in the script. And that they do it on purpose. And that the creators and directors would never let them have their way if they did not agree with what they are conveying by looks and gestures. Well …

Yes, susi, and I want to add: well, well, well...

I am feeling very agressively johnlock today.

Maybe you should take your emotions to "the other thread". In here you do not have to convince anyone.

"Hi, my name is Solar and I'm an aggressive Johnlocker." - "Hi, Solar...!"

As for Benedict and Martin: I agree, nothing just happens by accident. And it already started with the casting of those two guys. Mofftiss were definitely looking for a certain chemistry - and the chemistry they got is exactly the chemistry they wanted. So nobody tell me that anything in the show just sort of happens...

Oh, no, it's all quite deliberate, on everyone's part-- those who cast the two actors, the actors themselves, the writers, the directors, the editing people, everyone. It has to be deliberate-- nothing could be that blatant by accident, could it? It wouldn't seem so.

I still have a hard time believing that there are masses of real fans of the show who do not see one iota of sexual chemistry there, that johnlock is all a figment of our collective johnlock dementia, and what goes on, on screen, is just an example of a simple (albeit close) friendship. I know I have my rose-colored slash glasses welded to my face, and I couldn't get them off if I tried (I don't try), but still.... what are we seeing that the non-johnlockers aren't? And what are they missing?

That is true Susi but I also do not enjoy arguing with fence posts.

I was doing a little presentation on Sherlock once and I mentioned in it, that by pairing Benedict and Martin together, the authors created a powerful archetype which was already succesful in the past - it even awakened a similar frenzy then.

Consider, isn´t this:

A bit similar to this?

Okay, this is my coming out. My name is Susi and I am an aggressive Johnlocker, too.

SolarSystem · May 21, 2014 7:59 pm

I'm so proud of you, Susi. That's the first step to... not being cured of Johnlock, I'm afraid.

gently69 · May 21, 2014 8:00 pm

Surprise!

SusiGo · May 21, 2014 8:01 pm

I do not want to be cured when it is so much fun.

SolarSystem · May 21, 2014 8:13 pm

Speaking of fun... this could have been so much fun if it had ended right there...

gently69 · May 21, 2014 8:20 pm

This short clip tells so much.

SolarSystem · May 21, 2014 8:24 pm

And please, they can both stare!

Their faces are radiant. Absolutely radiant.

So was mine, when I first saw this scene. Yowsa.

Oh my...the feels and the angst.. That fanfic was beautiful but oh so sad.

Unlike Sherlock, I'm not youtube-ing serviettes...I'm youtube-ing Johnlock

Oh yes, that "Alone on the water"-video is what I would call a classic. There are so many beautiful Johnlock videos around... especially in connection with TRF they are just
