That reminded me a lot of the old Monty Python sketch about the Hide & Seek World Championships.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I am less and less into Sherlock as time goes on. I like the characters quite a bit (although the Watson flirtation thing just irritated me) but the plots have been...not to my taste for a couple-three seasons. And I don't like Sherlock telling me intuition should not be dismissed.
Meh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love the characters but many of the stories, or elements thereof, have not been much to my liking. I strongly dislike BBC's Moriarty, and I hated what they did with Irene. I did love the Victorian throwback dream episode, though. And I love Mary a lot, I'm afraid they killed her off to have a reason for tension between S/J and that sucks like a chupacabra.

Not sufficient wrods in the world to agree with that.

The Watson flirtation just seemed so shoehorned in to, I don't know, make him more conflicted? Complex?
Dunno. Seemed unnecessary in intent and stilted in execution.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I also don't think that Watson (John) is written to bring a whole lot to the table in terms of solving the various cases, and that's a shame.
Joan Watson in Elementary is given a lot more to do (though I have some issues with how she's written), and it's marvelous. Although it's kind of unfair to compare a show that has 3-episode (albeit 90-minute episodes) seasons spaced years apart vs. a show with 22 episodes per season, because the latter allows for a lot more stories and character development.

Exactly my feeling, brenda.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My primary objection to Sherlock is that it takes time away from producing Doctor Who. And Moriarty. But mostly the Doctor Who thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Apparently Freeman and Abbington broke up shortly before filming. She said it was a bit difficult dealing with all the "new parent" stuff, as it reminded them both of the early days of their relationship, but the break-up is amicable and that she'd work with Martin again.
I am hoping the Watson flirtation is a plot-driver in the rest of the season, or it was just a waste.

I think Mary's death and her challenge to Sherlock will be the plot-driver for the rest of the season. John's flirtation was so out of character, I couldn't buy it. I mean, that character is all about loyalty to the extreme, right?
