For 7 years the Sherlock fandom accepted that Moftiss lied about the show. It was expected and accepted. Now they spew rubbish at the Con about never writing a love story, rehabilitating Mary, and being constrained by a tight budget and people believe them?!?!? These lies are the ones that convince you the show is over, they're just terrible writers and worse human beings, and that all that carefully planned subtext was just an elaborate joke all along??!?!! Ridiculous. I think they've got something huge planned-- something to teach the heteronormatively blinded a lesson they'll never forget. I think they WANTED poor reviews of S4, which is why they weren't concerned about the leak of TFP, and why there is such a noticeable shift between the first two episodes and the last. If everyone, even the casuals, feel that something is wrong with S4, then the big reveal of Johnlock, and how RIGHT that feels will have a greater impact on people who need to be educated about gay relationships. Moftiss WANTED people to hate S4. It proves their point-- that trying to shove John and Sherlock into heteronormativity feels wrong because it IS wrong. Ben told a fan who was concerned about Johnlock to be patient because they were "doing something." This is what he meant. TPTB and their ridiculous lies at the U.S. Con have only reinforced my belief that something big is afoot. The game is never over.
