So, has everyone watched the BBC "Sherlock" that aired on Sunday night? Consider this your thread for discussing queer themes in it. Comments will undoubtedly contain spoilers!
(Speaking for myself, I'm halfway through it, and making high-pitched squeaking noises.)

So so gay in actuality-- nothing at all like the "so we agree and would like to tell the audience there's nothing gay about either of us" scene that was expected. I don't see how it can be read as other than an admission of being queer if not also asexual.
EVERYONE THINKS THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED
I really love this show.
