I agree that they overdo it a bit, but I also think it's something that would realistically happen, especially once they became popular on the internet. Whenever two men in the media are BFFs, everyone on the internet seems to assume they're banging each other.

Oh yes, I think the comments by the press make complete sense. There's a reason we all know what they mean by 'confirmed bachelor' after all. Plus, they want an angle for this story and this would be a juicy one.

I'm more annoyed by the comments like the one from the pub owner in Hound. I loved it at first and was thrilled that they had some gay characters that weren't stereotypical like 'Jim' had been. But then I started to think about it. Was this comment supposed to carry more weight or be funnier because it was said by a gay character? Insinuating he had gaydar or something? Because otherwise he's just assuming any two men who travel together are a couple, and I doubt that's true either.

I hate it when people get nitpicky like this and I don't want to see anything behind this. It's probably all meant in good fun.

I did love the fact that Irene Adler asked if they were a couple. Or at least, if John was jealous. At first I thought it was going to be yet another in a long line of similar remarks. But then there was that exchange of 'I'm not gay/I am, yet here we are.' It almost give me hope they might take all the comments somewhere. At least it's a definite acknowledgment that it is a possibility even if John is straight and Sherlock...Sherlock.

Oh yeah, completely agree with you there.
