Article here Why is the BBC Sherlock fandom not agog over this? Or are they, and I'm just not in the fandom deep enough to see (very possible.) I would like the idea, if not for the all-but-foregone conclusion that it will turn, Castle-style, into yet another mess of forced UST until they hook up sometime in Season 3 and immediately jump the shark. (One good thing about male buddy cop shows, and, as the article mentions, Holmes and Watson in particular: you know that no matter how much slash bait they put out they will never actually get together and ruin everything.) Oh, who am I kidding? This is CBS. They won't make it to a third season.
In other news, we leave on Sunday for our first ever "family" holiday. A four-day cruise to the Bahamas with a 16-month-old who has learned to walk and now wishes to do nothing else (usually with commentary. "Walking! Walking!") I'll let you know when I get back if I survived.
