hi heather. sorry to bother but i’m having like really depressing doubts about johnlock. i also started thinking that they have been prolonging johnlock, not to give it a proper build up, but because they don’t want to lose viewers. because they don’t want people to stop watching for as long as possible? i mean i can think of a single hetero romance that took 4-5+ seasons to build up to. idk, i’m just feeling bad and doubful tonight i guess.

hello friend, you should take a deep breath and not worry, and allow me to point you toward the following

• mulder and scully (x-files)
• ted and robin (himym)
• niles and daphne (frasier)
• brennan and booth (bones) (and from what my mother tells me, they still working on that shit in the current season and it’s all fucked up, but you know they gonna be together, i don’t even watch this shit but my mother cries over it, idk)
• riker and troi (st:tng)

these are just ones i’m thinking off off the top of my head

tv shows like to take fucking forever with this bullshit

the anticipation is the best part

We all know that Mark Gatiss is the world’s biggest fan of Frasier because he compares Mycroft and Sherlock to the Brothers Crane all the damn time and used them as the inspiration for the Holmes’s family life, so from that we can assume two things:

1) Mark Gatiss sat through SEVEN SEASONS of pining!Niles and oblivious!Daphne, during most of which Niles was married to a Disposable Fiancé plot device who never appeared on camera and eventually cheated and then killed somebody (hmm), and

2) Mark Gatiss probably realized, like most people, that the show was still good but not quite as good after Niles and Daphne finally got their shit together.

Of course they’re dragging it out. They know what works.

Slight change of direction here, but does it ever just make you laugh when Gatiss makes the Brothers Crane comparison because Frasier and Niles are literally both completely hopeless romantics…?

I was watching reruns of Frasier on late-night TV long before skulls-and-tea brought those quotes to my attention and now I have so many Frasierlock headcanons. YES to the hopeless romantics thing. And they think they’re such rational-minded psychiatrists. Ha.

Also, once you notice the resemblance between Martin Crane and John Watson you CANNOT UNSEE.

The hair, the clothes, the cane! The bullet wound! The CHAIR. I haven’t quite figured out what any of it means or if it’s all just a coincidence (knowing Gatiss, it’s probably not), but I do know that if John Mahoney does not get cast as mean old Papa Watson by the time the show ends, I will rage against that missed opportunity. (His American accent is natural as a result of his decades living in this country, but I’m sure he’d have no problem summoning up the English accent of his youth…)
