Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Ok ladies, bring on the Victorian Johnlock!!
"Why don't you two just elope already" was only a tiny tidbit of the joys the special brought us!
Personally I loved the fact that at the falls it was John Watson and his huge phallic symbol made of hard steel that saved Sherlock.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
This episode will be derided as Steven Moffat trying too hard to outwit the viewer and twisting what should be a perfectly simple whodunit into a plot device of labyrinth complexity. But the secret is that it isn’t that clever and it doesn’t completely make sense, because it’s not supposed to. Moffat and Gatiss just filmed 90 minutes of the internal monologue of a tortured queer genius drug addict off his tits on coke, wrapped it up in a gothic mystery, and then gave it to us as a late Christmas present.

This is pretty much how I saw the special.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
The whole conversation inside the greehouse was very interesting from the Johnlock point of view, IMHO. Holmes was almost forced to confess that he is a homosexual and spill the beans to Watson, hehehe.

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?

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
And Watson´s "married life" now means "spending all the time with Holmes, so that your wife must pretend to be a client" + "checking Holmes´ pendant while he is sleeping out of jealousy".

Yesss!
Well, they should be able to pull off a wonderful wedding dance when they finally get married. Sherlock and John, that is.
