Speaking of relationships, the “Moriarty Kiss” was also mentioned, though Cumberbatch was quick to point out “there was no connection there. Can I just point out that we didn’t actually connect?” Co-creator Steven Moffat discussed the chemistry between Cumberbatch’s Sherlock and Andrew Scott’s Moriarty. “We got the idea from the palpable chemistry between Benedict and Andrew. We can’t control it any longer. We let them at it. But we cut it before contact and, indeed, sex, because that was just wrong. It just looked bad. It was actually Mark Gatiss’s idea, and he wrote that scene, and I remember he told me, ‘I’ve done something slightly cheeky.’ And I thought, I wonder what that could be given his past record, and I just roared with laughter when we got to that. It was brilliant. As to how far the tongue got in, you have to ask Benedict. “It was like this. Fist bumping. No. Yeah. No. Not in that way, but platonically,” Cumberbatch sputtered. x

I want to just throw this quote in the faces of all those people who told me the “joke” / reason the fan’s theory was dismissed faster than Anderson’s was because of the dummy and not the kiss.

Yeah, how about no, here we literally have the creator laughing about the kiss. And calling it “wrong” and that it “looked bad.” And Gatiss wrote it just to be “cheeky.” It was treated as a joke, framed and shot like a joke, and the joke was two men kissing. This same conversation happens every single time two men kiss, “how was he? how long did it go on? was there tongue?? was it different???” and I am so fucking sick of it and the “no homo!” response.
