 #can i mention how cool it is to have a variation of sherlock holmes where he says stuff like this #because it’s important #and this episode is my favourite so far because it’s surprisingly accurate #and it was just great to hear him say this #because sherlock holmes is of course intelligent and a modern sherlock would know this #and even though this holmes does have that social crass and indelicacy he’s softer in some ways to the others #which is what makes him different and a new take and interesting to watch #he’s a rare fictional example of a character who is pragmatic and driven and a bit socially blunt but also has a firm moral intelligence too #just because a character can be blunt and rude and not understand that they’ve just insulted someone doesn’t have to mean #that they don’t understand right from wrong  (via teacupsandcyanide)

I always reference this scene when talking about Jonny as Holmes because this is what makes him the most Holmesian Holmes since the passing of the great Jeremy Brett.

Sherlock Holmes cares about people, he cares about justice, he cares about not what is legally right but what is morally right and this scene reminds me so much of Holmes’ concern for Violet Hunter in The Copper Beeches or Violet Smith in The Solitary Cyclist or Helen Stoner in The Speckled Band all women in close proximity to abusers/potential abusers and he’s so concerned for them.

That’s Sherlock Holmes, a man concerned with justice and the protection of victims. I love Jonny’s Holmes with a passion because this is my childhood hero returned.

I have to say, this was what hooked me in with this show. I mean I liked it well enough as a ‘generic procedural’ at first, and I was kind of diehard about BBC Sherlock at the time (I have since changed my mind since season 3 of BBC Sherlock, lol). 

But this, here…it said so much about Sherlock’s character, about the interpretation of Holmes, and it really spoke to me as an abuse victim who has gone back to an abuser again and again. And when Sherlock said this - I just thought about the writers who came up with this line, who polished it up and put it into their draft, and I thought about the team who approved it, and I thought about Jonny Lee Miller who delivered it perfectly, and I thought: 

‘This is more than a generic procedural, and I love that it is understated but so, so very powerful.’

And there have been episodes here and there that have felt like filler (they do have giant seasons after all), but for what it’s worth, I still think of this as an exceptionally strong but understated show, that is careful about where it places its power - which gives them the knowledge to pull off scenes like this so very well.

Personality, I mean, that’s what counts, right? That’s what keeps a relationship going through the years. Like heroin, I mean heroin’s got a great fucking personality.
