I am 100% convinced that Mark Gatiss, no matter how much he loves the characters, would not touch Sherlock Holmes and John Watson if he had to do some winky, queerbaiting, no homo bullshit with them. He wouldn’t have agreed to write the show with Steven if they weren’t in agreement on that. They wouldn’t have proceeded with producing it, if the BBC were not on board.
And honestly every time I see it suggested that he would do that to queer people when he is an outspoken advocate for better queer representation in the media and a married gay man himself, I just get really offended on his behalf. Stop using him to screen your heteronormativity.
The Doctor tried to look back, to see whether the TARDIS was still there, but he felt woozy and the pull of the beam was too strong. There didn’t seem to be anything he could do to break away.
Idly, he wished he still carried the specially adapted, vacuum-resistant propulsion-powered cricket ball which had got him out of that spot with the Urbankans.
