Holy shit. What the fuck.

Here’s what I imagine happened:

Once upon a time a bi boy reads the entire ACD canon, loves it.  He immediately resonates with John Watson, a man who, though he likes women, is also very clearly in love with Sherlock Holmes.

Elsewhere a gay boy reads the entire ACD canon and loves it.  He immediately resonates with Sherlock Holmes, a gay superhero, who makes being intelligent and observant into a superpower.  

Much later these two meet and discuss their love of Sherlock Holmes and the real story behind the books and their raison d’être: the love story.  Since they’re both now tv writers they discuss doing the definitive adaptation of the story: a contemporary version where their love story can finally be told.

The time couldn’t be more right because at exactly this time the BBC is looking to create groundbreaking queer television.  

Cue Sherlock.

THE FINAL PROBLEM IS HOW WE GONNA SURVIVE THIS SHOW IN LESS THAN 42 DAYS

NO

Listen….. The Final Problem wasn’t the last ACD story, it was the one that started a new era of the canon. They’re literally using the same story twice to emphasize the fact that ACD was so fed up with Holmes (and the fact that he couldn’t tell the story he wanted to) that he tried to end it but couldn’t because the people wanted more. This episode will start a new era and will feel complete, but there’s more to come because we demand it, because we know there’s more to the story.

CRYING

honestly though this has to be the perfect fucking title from their perspective. ep 3 is the one we know nothing about and now they’ve given us the title of a story they’ve already completely covered in another episode, so even the title tells us not a fucking thing about what to expect from the plot of the ep. mark and steven must be laughing their asses off rn.

Can I just point out, after rewatching the cold open on youtube, how this wink is most definitely for The Gays™. She knows that we love her (hopefully she knows just how much) and how much we respect her and singing hallelujah  as Hillary Clinton  alone on the stage is so personal and to turn and wink to the camera feels so personal………………… it’s……… reassuring. Kate is most definitely this generation’s  Lesbian Overlord  Ellen and to have things like the Lesbian Salute™ and, the recently noteworthy, McKinnon Wink™ feels like her acknowledging her fanbase and in this performance specifically, it just feels like her saying “yeah, this sucks, but we’ll get through it…… my little lovable lesbians” and I just like that thought………….

when white europeans say “lmao americans are so dumb, how could they let this happen??”

I love it when any holmes goes “deduce for me you sexy thing” to their watson

Representation of Womyn in BBC One’s Sherlock

Every femayl character in BBC One’s hit series, Sherlock fits into the tropes of “bitch”, “emphasized femayl”, “mother”, and “sex object/love interest”. The main characters of focus in this essay will be Molly Hooper, Mrs Hudson, Sally Donovan, Irene Adler, and Mary Morstan, plus the League of Furies. Their portrayals serve as the show’s representation of womyn for the approximately twelve million viewers of BBC One’s Sherlock. Because characters are incapable of making autonomous decisions, each of these femayl characters will be evaluated based on her portrayal of womyn as depicted by the male writers of Sherlock.

The first femayl character we meet is Molly Hooper, a pathologist in the morgue of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Though she has a college education and a satisfactory job—though she has worked to gain the position she has—though she is a grown, able-bodied, capable womon, her character revolves around the male lead, Sherlock Holmes. The first time we meet her, she asks Holmes out for coffee, and he replies, “Black. Two Sugars. I’ll be upstairs” (Moffat and Gatiss 2010). Although Sherlock’s rejection is crass, it is not until Sherlock comments on Molly’s removal of her lipstick that the androcentric core of the show is revealed:
