I loved the domestic dynamic we saw between them last night. One of the things that drew me to the show was that I read the show runner specifically said that Sherlock/Watson will not be a will they won't they.

I honestly can't remember the last tv show that I've watched where that hasn't been hinted at or was the inevitable planned trajectory for a female and male character working alongside one another.

That is not to say I don't love those shows because I love Castle and wouldn't have it any other way! but I actually think I enjoy watching Sherlock/Joan a lot more because there isn't that romantic element. I think what Elementary is doing right now by not having the leads romantically entangled is actually pretty ground breaking in television
