SINCE WHEN DOES THE DOCTOR EVER ARRIVE *EARLY,* FOR CRYING OUT LOUD??

SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW
The closest thing in Sherlock to queer representation was Irene Alder who said she was gay and then fell in love with Sherlock. (make of that what you will.)
The…
Okay, I mostly agree with this, but
1) People do have the right to be upset that a relationship that’s been very important in the history of queer interpretations is being turned het. It would be great if that wasn’t paired with racism and misogyny *headdesk*
2) Sherlock in the BBC show is not heterosexual. He’s asexual.
3) I actually kind of liked some of what the BBC show did with Irene Adler, because tv almost never acknowledges that sexuality is complex and not always tied to romantic attraction (which is also complex.) As someone who’s bisexual but homoromantic, I appreciate that. Of course, I wish they hadn’t done it by effectively erasing Irene’s gay identity… *sigh*
So I’ll repeat what I said before: it’s not actually that hard to celebrate that Watson is a WOC while also being pissed off that her relationship with Holmes has been heterosexualized. OK?
During the first season, a director insisted again and again that Nichols do something out of character. He pushed and yelled and bullied. She would not give in, though she was upset and shuddering. Kelley, always neutral, brushed by her, and, Nichols recalls “with that eternal cigarette hanging out of his mouth, [he said,] ‘His problem is he doesn’t understand the character, he doesn’t know who you are. Just stick to your friggin’ guns, Nichelle.’ And I stood there gaping with tears in my eyes…because I knew that was what I was supposed to be doing.” Finally, she was called to Roddenberry’s office to answer the director’s complaints. He settled the question. Indeed, she would do anything an actress was called upon to do, but the director was asking her to do something that Uhura would not do. Roddenberry confirmed that she was perfectly right. “It was De who knew I was in real trouble. It was the first season.” She remembers it well. “Stick to your friggin’ guns, Nichelle.
