Sherlock and Watson are never, ever getting together…at least on Sherlock.

During a Tumblr question and answer session, Sherlock co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat addressed a bevy of fan questions about their series that stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson. One of those fan questions tackled the topic of Sherlock and Watson's relationship: "Are you completely against the idea of Sherlock having a relationship with John? If so, what are your reasons?"

Gatiss fielded that question.

"Of course we're not against it. But as we have explained many times, that's not the story that we want to tell. Obviously as a gay man myself, I have no problem with the notion that a Sherlock Holmes and a Doctor Watson could be in a relationship together, but ours aren't," Gatiss said. "It's as simple as that. Sherlock is clearly capable of feeling emotion and of falling for someone, but that someone is not John Watson, despite his love and great affection for him.

"

So, who is Sherlock saying, "I love you" to in the trailer?

"His mum, obviously. He doesn't ring home often enough and usually forgets her birthday," Gatiss teased.
