Re: Warning for possible spoilers season 3

[dreemyweird]

Oh no, I have seen every episode, and I actually enjoy it (for most part). It's a nice piece of TV, really, even though the plots are kind of stupid at times and Sherlock has approximately nothing in common with his Canon counterpart. My only serious complaints would be the portrayals of Irene Adler and Moriarty.

It is true that he is consistently shown as not having much interest in romantic relationships at all, and it is true he has never been in a proper romantic/sexual relationship on-screen. If I were one of those folks who only watch the show itself and do not care what the creators say, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. Sherlock's on-screen interactions are more complex than they would've been if he were just your average straight guy.

However, I tend to pay much attention to the authorial intent behind works of fiction, and I know (see rubbertea's post, for example) that the creators of Sherlock do not consider him an asexual; that they do consider Adler to be a love interest; and that they most certainly do not see him as bi or gay (which I would've objected to with just as much bitterness as to his being straight, btw). This utterly prevents me from interpreting Sherlock as asexual or seeing his relationships with women as "complex".

I just worded that post badly. Sorry.

Ah no problem I totally get what you mean now. Dealing with authorial intent is always tricky isn't it? Personally I try to avoid it as much as I can and just use what seems to be presented in the show especially when the authorial intent seems to contradict the show.
