It was the "because of all these clues" thing that was really the cancer of the fandom. Everyone really thought they were the cleverest people for coming up with these wild theories that just had to be true (they want us to think like Sherlock!), and meanwhile I was just like "...all right, that'd be cool if it was true, but Moffat and Gatiss are not that clever."

I was just like "...all right, that'd be cool if it was true, but Moffat and Gatiss are not that clever."

This was me every step of the way. Personally, I actually found all of the desperate theories kind of painful, because I'm a diehard Johnlock shipper and people's conspiracy theories just made me feel like I had to constantly refute something I desperately wanted to be true. I mean, I wa mostly refuting it all in my head, no, like, going out and telling other fans how wrong they were. But still. :(

And there were some particularly jarring moments where someone would notice that a background extra in one scene showed up in another scene and use it as proof of part of their theory, and because I am a background extra, I would be like, "I'm sorry, but actually that person just got recycled for use in another scene. I happens ALL the time."

Sherlock episodes aren't even written in a way where the audience could solve the mystery ahead of time by thinking like Sherlock and picking up clues (also, when story-lines are based on/inspired by Doyle's stories, which people have read, it would get a bit like that Moriarty episode of TNG where Data keeps solving the holodeck mysteries right away because he knows how they all end).
