* Despite being one of the most faithful adaptations ever filmed, the show does make one large alteration to the canon: Watson never gets married. There are practical reasons for doing this, namely allowing the show to adapt whichever stories it liked, in whichever order it liked, without having to keep track of which ones Watson was married in or not. However, the practical upshot is that, in the show, Watson remains a “confirmed bachelor”, living with Sherlock Holmes, his entire life. Aw

* Deliberately invoked in that this is the very excuse Holmes uses for not marrying the Russian countess; averted when Watson is outraged and disappointed at Holmes' cockblocking; un-averted and re-invoked when Watson's response is basically, "People will talk!" and Holmes replies, "So let them." From another writer/director, the last might have been unintentional, but this is, after all, the man behind, [[SomeLikeItHot "I can't marry you! I'm a man!" "Well, nobody's perfect."]]

* From ''A Study In Scarlet'', Sherlock likes it when Watson thinks he’s clever.
-->'''Watson:''' ''My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.''



* Don't forget how Lord Coward seems to worship Blackwood. Anytime Blackwood speaks, Coward is certain to be looking adoringly at him.

!! The BBC TV Series

* The show is very aware of the intrinsic slashiness of its subject matter and has a lot of fun playing around with it.
-->'''John:''' You don't have a girlfriend, then? \\
'''Sherlock:''' Girlfriend? No. Not really my area. \\
'''John:''' Oh, right. Do you have a...boyfriend? Which is fine, by the way. \\
'''Sherlock:''' I know it's fine. *stares* \\
'''John:''' ...So you've got a boyfriend then. \\
'''Sherlock:''' No. \\
'''John:''' Right. Ok. You're unattached. Like me. Fine. Good. \\
'''Sherlock:''' (pause) John, erm, I think you should know that I consider myself [[MarriedToTheJob married to my work]], and while I'm flattered by your interest, I'm really not looking for any- \\
'''John:''' No. I'm not asking. No. I'm just saying, it’s all fine. \\
'''Sherlock:''' Good. Thank you.
* John and Sherlock are repeatedly [[MistakenForGay mistaken for a couple]].
-->'''Mrs. Hudson:''' There's another bedroom upstairs, if you'll be needing two bedrooms.\\
'''John:''' Of course we'll be needing two.\\
'''Mrs. Hudson:''' Oh don't worry, there's all sorts ‘round here. Mrs. Turner next door's got married ones!
** Mrs. Hudson isn’t the only one.
-->'''Angelo:''' Sherlock! Anything on the menu, whatever you want, free. On the house, for you and for your date.\\
'''Sherlock:''' Do you want to eat?\\
'''John:''' I’m not his date.\\
(Sherlock doesn’t bother to correct Angelo. Later:)\\
'''Angelo:''' I'll get a candle for the table. It's more romantic. \\
'''John:''' I'm not his date!\\
(Angelo ignores him and brings a candle anyway)
** Even Mycroft suspects it’s more than friendship.
-->'''Mycroft:''' What is your connection to Sherlock Holmes? \\
'''John:''' I don't have one. I barely know him. I met him... yesterday. \\
'''Mycroft:''' Hmm, and since yesterday you've moved in with him and now you're solving crimes together. Might we expect a [[FourthDateMarriage happy announcement]] by the end of the week?
** Eventually John comes to expect it.
-->'''John:''' (after Sherlock strips off John's bomb-rigged jacket and throws it away) I'm glad no one saw that. \\
'''Sherlock:''' Hm? \\
'''John:''' You, ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool. People might talk. \\
'''Sherlock:''' People do little else. *grins*
* Sherlock can seem a bit jealous of John’s other relationships.
-->'''Sherlock:''' I need to get some air; we're going out tonight.\\
'''John:''' Actually, I've got a date.\\
'''Sherlock:''' What?\\
'''John:''' It's when two people who like each other go out and have fun.\\
'''Sherlock:''' That's what I was suggesting.\\
'''John:''' No, it wasn't. At least, I hope not.
** Sherlock ends up inviting himself along on the date in question and seems honestly baffled that John would want to spend time on a date with someone else rather than solving crimes with him.
* Taking after canon, Sherlock always seems unduly pleased whenever John compliments his deductions.
-->'''John:''' That's fantastic!\\
'''Sherlock:''' Do you know you do that out loud?\\
'''John:''' Sorry, I'll shut up.\\
'''Sherlock:''' No, it's… fine.
* Outside of John, Sherlock seems both fascinated and smitten with [[FoeYay Moriarty]] (“Why hasn’t he called?”) to the point where John notices and gets upset (“I’m sure you’ll be very happy together.”) Moriarty, for his part, presents his hostage-driven intellectual puzzles to Sherlock like gifts, starts off his first message to him with “Hello, Sexy,”, and even though he claims to have been only playing gay during their first meeting as part of his disguise (“Did you like the little touch with the underwear?”), he doesn’t stop flirting with Sherlock after he’s dropped the act.
-->'''Moriarty:''' Is that a British Army Browning [=L9A1=] in your pocket, [[OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe or are you just pleased to see me]]?\\
'''Sherlock:''' Both.\\
(later)\\
'''Moriarty:''' But the flirting's over, Sherlock. (sing song) Daddy's had enoooough nooooow!

* In "''The Adventure of the Norwood Builder''", Watson reveals that he moved back in with Holmes because Holmes asked him to. However, Holmes used his own money and got a distant relative to secretly buy Watson's medical practice, something Watson didn't know about until ''years'' later. Holmes really, ''really'' wanted his Boswell back...
* "''The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton''". All of it. From [[HoldingHands holding hands]] to a willingness to ''share a prison cell together'', the entire case is full of Ho Yay moments.
