Couldn't a case be made that writers only promise ~platonic friendship~ with interracial male/female leads? Obviously that doesn't count for Uhura/Spock, but I've never seen the SHE NEEDS NO MAN argument. (But I'm not in ST fandom either).

But at least the Elementary writers keep saying that there won't be a romantic relationship between the two. Would they discount the possibility if Joan were white?

(Note: I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I'm actually one of those nasty people who seems to ship all the platonic friends (Joan/Sherlock <3) and wouldn't mind if the writers broke their promises. It's such a shame that the shows were they're not pushing for a romantic endgame are also the only ones who do chemistry between characters and believable relationships right.)

Have hope. For 7 years, Chris Carter said Mulder and Scully would never be involved and then they just sorta were together.

I'd feel bad for all the other fans for whom their platonic relationship is a major attraction, but at the same time I'm just totally convinced that Sherlock's already in love with Joan and just not doing anything about it he's her ex-client and an ex-addict and he just wants her to be happy no matter what even if it means loving her from ~afaaaaaar~.

Omg, me too. I mean, I'm basically convinced that all Sherlocks are fecklessly in love with all Watsons, but Lucy Liu is so stunningly gorgeous that it takes it to a whole new level for me. Lol.

I'm pretty sure of the ships mentioned only Joan/Sherlock promised friendship?

The rest have been left pretty up in the air. I do prefer Joan/Sherlock as friends myself, but I wouldn't drop the show or anything if they paired them. On the other hand I really like Mako/Raleigh and am kind of thinking Ichabod/Abbie is looking cute.

[hwc]

From the way everyone was going on about it I thought WoG said that Ichabod and Abbie would stay platonic as well. I don't actually know, I only got into the show yesterday. :P

I actually think that I'd prefer them to remain friends but that might be mostly to due to Katrina still being around. I can't see them saving her during the show as I feel that that would destroy the "only Ichabod and Abbie alone can stand against the forces of darkness" vibe, so my guess that she'll either tragically die during a season finale or that they'll save her at the very end of the show. If it's the former I might come around to Ichabod/Abbie, but as long as Katrina's around I'd prefer it if they stayed platonic.

Funny thing is, I actually thought Mako and Raleigh were together at the end of the movie. The last scene where they're drifting at sea and the jets/helicopters fly over them had such strong romantic undertones that the Team Platonic people in fandom completely caught me by surprise.

Silly story. At the end of Pacific Rim, my friend and I were both mentally screaming, "PLEASE DON'T KISS!" because the romantic tone you mentioned was pretty damn tangible. Our reaction was mostly because it would have felt cliche as hell (yes I realize the film was already packed to the gills with tropes). Even though I'm a big time Mako/Raleigh shipper, I really preferred the forehead touching as it felt more intimate and symbolic. It also allowed people to interpret their undeniably close relationship as romantic or platonic (which was nice since most action films have an in your face kiss or love scene for the hero, regardless of if there was any build up for it.)
