This Watson is very different from the traditional Watson. There's no war background, she lost a patient and her medical credentials (apparently, or she just quit), and she doesn't want to share. I think she's still in "This is just a job I'm doing, he's just doing moderately interesting things but I can't get attached" mode. He's definitely in "I can be trusted with my own brain, no, really, why did Dad sic a chaperone on me?" Once she gets more involved in the cases, their dynamic might change.
He was rightfully annoyed that she was poking around his stuff, but he did start playing again. So they are affecting each other.
I'm intrigued by this variant. I'm glad it's not an attempt to just drop the traditional Holmes and Watson into 21st Century New York.
edit: And please, no Moriarty, especially if they go with the batshit crazy version BBC did. Moriarty is ruthless and brilliant, he's not insane.

This.

Also this. As much as I overwhelmingly love CumberSherlock, I equally loathe that iteration of Moriarty.
I wish they had kept the war element to Watson and the war injury.
Yes, they could have, it wouldn't have been easy.
Okay, I am watching Bones, and that trick with the plane would not fly (pun entirely intended) if I were a defense attorney, I would argue that the Jeffersonian was acting under color of law. That search (and all results from it) would be thrown out. Exotic animal guy would definitely get off. There would be some question as to whether his confession could be used against someone else.

Not like we haven't been at war for however many years.

Also, it takes at least several weeks for bone damage to show up from bone infection.
I'm so excited I went straight from watching Storage Wars to Castle!

See, these particular technicalities got past me (okay, I wondered a bit about the infection), but I'm just getting so irritated by the increasingly dumbass interactions between Booth and Bones (Angela and Hodgins to a lesser degree) - I finally figured out what it was reminding me of - it's like they got awards-show writers to write all the "personal" dialogue - awkward segues, stilted dialogue. I still love the show...but I kinda don't remember why. Or maybe that's it - I remember loving it and I'm hanging with it on the basis of our past...
