SHERLOCK HOLMES is ambiguously gay

Score: 

And so is Watson. This dynamic duo is a lot closer than we thought. While they used to solve mysteries together and share witty lines of dialogue in Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, Holmes and Watson now playfully flirt and argue about ‘couple’ issues. Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, complete with eyeliner and the tiniest dash of Jack Sparrow, is visibly upset that Watson (Jude Law) is moving out. He makes little effort to hide his hatred of the doctor’s new fiancé or how much he cares for him. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. He’s just not the Sherlock I’m used to seeing. I was more entertained by the gay undertones in Sherlock Holmes than I was the mystery. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

The Time Traveler's Wife shows the pains of the chronologically challenged (Review)

And I thought Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) had it bad. In Quantum Leap, he travels through time, landing in different people’s bodies, but at least he had a friend and mission. Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) gets no such luxuries. He randomly disappears, re-appears naked somewhere, and has to steal clothes and start running to survive. Worse, he never knows when he’ll disappear again. It’s hard to imagine Henry having any friends, which is why I enjoyed learning how manages to bag a girl. The Time Traveler’s Wife is more a “living with a disappearing man” story than it is about love, and it’s more interesting for it.
