This is not about shipping or hating on a character, but why is Molly hitting Sherlock three times badass? I’m not talking about what he did to deserve it, but once would have been enough, yes? To me what Molly did is assault.
I didn’t mean Molly hitting him. I meant Molly standing up to him. I love…
Read MoreAnon who asked you about character alignments here: Ooh, I’m intrigued by your interpretation. I’ve seen a lot of “Sherlock and John are amoral, awful sociopaths!” hyperbole so it’s interesting to see someone who thinks that they both have Good alignments (or possibly Neutral in Sherlock’s case). Could you elaborate a bit on why you think John is Lawful Good and not Neutral Good like I originally believed?
I’m flagging John as lawful because he seems to really go in for the whole…
Read MoreWhat do you think John’s character alignment is? Sherlock is obviously Chaotic Neutral and God only knows what Mary is, but I’m having a hard time figuring John out.
John’s lawful good. He’s got a strong sense of morality, justice and propriety—an image of…

Read MoreHow do you feel about Mofftiss turning Sherlock into a Bond-style “hero”? We know he’s willing to injure/maim/kill people when on assignment for Mycroft (or himself, eg. the end of ASiB, HLV) and now he’s pretty much owned by the government. Idk, Moffat especially just seems so thrilled by the idea of his show being full of psychopathic “good guys” that it makes me worry we’ll be seeing even more of this in future.
Hahaha, oh man, that’s an excellent question that I have myself pondered. I have NO…
Read MoreYou know, of BBC had replaced either John or Sherlock with a female, people wouldn’t be able to even deny that there is some chemistry between them. But because they’re both men, people are denying the chemistry, because it’s not very “traditional” so romance doesn’t jump out at them. But if one of them were female, all the script and scenes would be very obviously romantic.
If one of those two was a woman, ‘some chemistry’ would not be the phrase.…

Read Moreis it really that hARD for people to understand how funcking crazy is to have your wife kill your best friend and when he does not die to threat him of killing him again if he says something? Just. Think. About it. Just. Do it. Idk. (It is crazy too if your best friend kills your wife, but Sherlock did not shoot Mary)
I think people are pretty wrapped up in their emotional responses to the show and…
Read MoreSo if carolyn-claire is going to do that she also has to imagine Sherlock shooting Mary in the chest and killing her first. Then the crazy quote. That way it looks like what it really is: some crazy obsessive person killing the ones WHO LOVE JOHN to keep him around and not losing him, not just some cab driver. “I am going to turn backwards only the things I want.” Nope.
Yes, true, I suppose you have a point there. If you’re trying to compare the…
