just a passer-by from Russia Well then hello again! =D It is very interesting to see that a fandom can bring people from all over the world together. ^_^ I’ve always been sure he was sketching the illustrations for the future book I think that is one of the best features of this version, as you can look at it either way and you will find nothing that contradicts a romantic relationship between those two (at least not until Mary appears that is ;-) ) if that is your cup of tea but no matter which point of view you choose, you never miss the great trust and attachment, Holmes and Watson share, whether it be romantic or in the means of a deep, unconditional friendship. whether people are serious or just enjoy the double-meaning they see To my mind, both of these opinions exist: some think that the sexual innuendo was placed there intentionally (an opinion that I cannot share) and others just have fun searching for those looks and touches and are happy to play out some romantic fantasies in their minds. Livanov and Solomin portray in-depth-characters; they are human beings of high nobility and honour, two true goodhearted men, so I can absolutely understand when people wish to see these two together - even in a sexual relationship. The lovely bond they share and never fail to mention and underline in the episodes as well as the tons of emotions put into it by the actors would be put to waste if there weren’t any attempts as to put their relationship on other levels exploring it even further, be it through publicly accessible fanfiction/fanart or through silently played out scenarios in one’s mind. The scene from “The King of Blackmail” (sorry, I’m most comfortable with the Russian titles) seems only natural for me. (No problem but since I only have access to a not so legal copy with subtitles I stick to the titles given in them. Nevertheless I think we understand each other. =D) Well, point taken. I must admit that I am very much in favour of a romantic relationship between those two (although my search for evidence on this matter is always accomplished by a giggly smile as I know that my imagination constantly goes over the top when I want to see something) so that my view on some matters and scenes might be a bit biased. That put aside, I can follow your chain of thoughts and I am ready to admit that your explanation is also logical and easy to understand ( I say “also” due to the fact that the explanation involving slash can be understood just as well). It depends – as it does so often – on the point of view one chooses to take. =)

I think that is one of the best features of this version, as you can look at it either way and you will find nothing that contradicts a romantic relationship between those two (at least not until Mary appears that is ;-) ) if that is your cup of tea but no matter which point of view you choose, you never miss the great trust and attachment, Holmes and Watson share, whether it be romantic or in the means of a deep, unconditional friendship.
