TVTropes
I couldn't find this page mentioned anywhere in the forum. It offers a wealth of intelligent observations about the series. I could read in it for hours.

Re: TVTropes
You should put a warning on your post, Susi. It is way to easy to be sucked in and not come up till hours later.

Re: TVTropes
Oh, this is really, really interesting! This side is like a huge attic containing lots of cupboards with lots and lots of drawers...

Re: TVTropes
Sorry, girls, I know. Guess where I got stuck this afternoon while neglecting my books, my dishwasher, my laundry … 
And there are some things we discussed last weekend, Tobe, like the children's photos.
I'm happy I discovered this site.

Re: TVTropes
I'm happy you discovered it too. I reckon it will be about a week now before I get anything productive done.

Re: TVTropes
Maybe we should ask the Boss to delete the post with link before even more of us fall victim. Wait just a second, though -- I want to bookmark it first.

Re: TVTropes
Ah, TvTropes, that vacuum that sucks up hours of your life and ruins your viewing of movies forever. :D I can't even begin to count the hours I've lost to that site. The Sherlock page on there is quite amusing, especially the Ho Yay section - but only to a Johnlock shipper I suspect.

Re: TVTropes
I didn't see this thread the first time around, but commenting to add my own (wry, and unfortunately educated) reaction of: "Oh good lord... you had to link to there?!" 
As a general policy, I don't even go near that site anymore! Ha. I absolutely love the humorously appropriate comic that XKCD did about it, though, and think you guys would enjoy too:

I know the feeling...and I thought it was just me because I majored in English...
Also, you might want to check out the Heartwarming and Tearjerker pages for Sherlock (may not be linked to the main site but you can search). The interpretations of the boys' relationships seem to be more optimistic than ours here, especially in HLV.
