Having finished watching Sherlock, a few thoughts.

[dira]

1) IS IT TIME FOR MORE YET?

JESUS MOTHER OF FUCK THAT IS NOT A FUN CLIFFHANGER. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY--BUT--DAMMIT--

2) Anyone who thinks Sherlock is genuinely and for real a sociopath is officially claiming to understand Sherlock better than Moriarty does, which I think is a mistake.

3) Okay, so Watson is the actual archetypal epitome of My Type of fictional character. But apparently now I also have a secondary crush on this Lestrade.

*facepalm*


Aaaand so after work today I checked out a copy of A Study in Scarlet and read just enough of it to catch some references in 1x03. ♥♥♥

The pink lady WAS clever! And, as you know, I have a huge competence kink, which is, I believe, why I'm so attached to this. Everyone knows their jobs! They're just at different levels of ability! Also, I love how the first episode sets up John to be the Arbiter of What's Good for Sherlock.

Also, hell no, he isn't a sociopath. He's just utterly incapable of operating at less than Thrusters On Full, and is an ass (because, c'mon, can you imagine Sherlock in school? That kid got beat up.). I see it as half-protective coloring, and half-just his personality.
