"MOFFAT: The thing about Sherlock Holmes is, you’ve understood nothing if you haven’t understood…..."

“

MOFFAT: The thing about Sherlock Holmes is, you’ve understood nothing if you haven’t understood… that sex, for him, is thinking.

Right? That’s where he’s dislocated, that’s his problem.

He’s like a genetic experiment where they’ve wired up someone’s libido to the brain, instead.

So he doesn’t really think in those terms. He thinks all he has to do is go and solve stuff.

So, it’s not that kind of a relationship.

It’s kind of limiting — why do we have to make it [about] sex?

You know: there are love stories; [and] there are sex scenes. Love is a bigger subject.

And it’s certainly a love story — it’s just not a sex scene.

[…]

GATISS: It’s also back to the whole thing about why characters are compelling.

In the end, the ambiguity is what’s interesting, and not the solution.

If you just say it … it’s obviously much more fun for people to assume [a sexual relationship] and for them both to get slightly affronted, but they’re not really seeing the obvious, which is—they are—they love each other. But not in a sexual way.

MOFFAT: —Series Four, Series Four! [laughs]

Ummm….okay but immediately before ‘Series four series four’ they were talking about

SEX

Specifically, sex. I’m gonna live large and hope for confirmation of consummation. I don’t think Moffat could resist alluding to the sex being had. They will give us something. Now I’m going to go back outside, sit down, and keep staring up at the stars, goodnight.
