The show is phenomenal and this idea makes no sense because it would kill one of the running jokes that has been in almost all nine episodes.

They are not gay. And Watson has said that emphatically. He’s married now, so I don’t know what “fans” are asking for him and Holmes to turn gay.

Yes I do. “Fans” who have never seen the show or whose own choices of sexual expression have to be validated by TV characters making the same choices.

I came across a "recent" Holmes screen treatment. In a minor subplot, some artiste wants to have a child by Holmes, and he gets out of it by alluding that he and Watson are lovers. Watson was not amused.

Come to think of it, in the ACD stories, Watson marries, as he does in the current BBC series (American, female, ex-CIA assassin...). Now that I think about it, Holmes was having a hookup with a woman in the BBC production as well, not to mention the Irene Adler obsession.

Great show. That would ruin it.
