Have not see the newep yet (it's on in an hour here but I read here because I am not inthe least upset about being spoiled))
I'm on the fringes of the Sherlock fandom...or I was a while back; I never bothered trying to be active because I could sense epic wank reminiscent of LotR and had no wish to dip so much as a toe; not to mention the fact that I am not good at juggling fandoms as evidenced by being in pretty much one in all thhe years I have been online. I see problems in the writing and I am not a hige Moffat fan after hat happened with Torchwood, but I have trouble beleiving that the BBC would just cave to the specifics of the relatively smaller block of fandom (meaning Johnlock).
I saw the same signs they all wank so hard bout and yeah, I would not have been averse to the pairing, but OTOH I can also see it as a very close friendship or a close friendship wherein one of the pair may have stronger sexual attraction to the other, some of which is born of the admiration in place. As far as the fanfic, well it's a great place to investigate the many aspects that any one person might find attractive (perhaps it's easier to be complacent when there is firm canonical basis for one's own ship, even though canon completely ignored it for many years...it was still there, and has finally been resurrected).
I've read a bit in the Sherlock fandom and there is a pretty decent amount of well-written genfic tying in to the cases on the show and a memorable LeStrade vs. Mycroft regarding how a case (made up by the author) might be handled - I recall it hade beautifully deft conversation. A lot of the Johnlock feels overwrought to me, but that is likely just because I happened to choose fic where the writers need to work their own view of things out of their systems before tackling anything further. I have yet to find my own particular fancy underscored anywhere, but then, I haven't looked that hard and fell out of the abit of looking in the exceedingly long interval (more like waiting for a book than the next season of a series) since the last season. It wasn't hard to drift away because the fandom infighting was heating up and I have no taste for it at all. I'll watch this evening but it does not sound like I will be moved to dip back into the fandom much.
I didn't know Amanda & Martin had split...I'm sorry to hear it; I like her as Mary on the show.
There are some shows that I watch with varying levels of interest and I like some of the associated blogs (Hannibal, Penny Dreadful, Jessica Jones and a ne one I just began called Glitch which is an Australian offering that I like much better than the American version (Returned) -- only watched half of one season of that one so far.) As much as I like them,, noneof the, entice me toward becoming fandom-active for whatever reason, though I do like seeing the various Tumblr posts on them. Not exactly 'active', is it? :)
