Holy shit, Sherlock does look like Merlin. This is so creepy. Why am I watching this show? Yes, yes, I gave in to fannish pressure, dammit. ETA: He smiles like he knows exactly how I will die! Things That Are Scaring Me: 1.) WHEN HE GETS EXCITED IT MAKES ME AFRAID. IT FEELS WRONG. 2.) SHERLOCK: WANT TO SEE SOME MORE? WATSON: GOD YES. WATSON SOCIOPATHY SHOULD NOT BE CONTAGIOUS AND THAT WAS THE CREEPIST MOMENT OF CONNECTION EVER AND I'M INCLUDING ANY MOMENT THAT HAD ZOD IN IT. 3.) WHY DO I FIND SHERLOCK ATTRACTIVE? HELP. 4.) Sherlock: Dear God what is it like in your funny little brains; it must be so boring. Guh. I am losing more respect for myself by the moment. 5.) Sherlock's double take every time Watson says he's smart is kinda adorable, like, IDK, a rattlesnake showing uncertainty on whether or not to watch you die. 6.) London cameras terrify me. 7.) So that was theatrical. That is the most boring archenemy ever. He's like a cut-rate Sherlock, and not as scary. And boring. 8.) Yes, Watson misses stress. Kinda figured. 9.) Watson is packing. I would hit that like end times are coming tomorrow, is what I'm saying. Let's not pretend I'm healthy. 10.) WTF HE JUST JUMPED UP ALL CUTE IN THAT CHAIR I FIND THE RATTLESNAKE ADORABLE THIS IS NOT GOOD REPEAT THIS IS NOT GOOD. 11.) So Watson is pretty much doomed to be Sherlock's wife, I see. This is the strangest sexuality conversation ever in its mundanity. It's not even awkward; it's surreal. 12.) Okay, for the record at most of one episode, Sherlock would never be a serial killer. There's no mystery to solve if you're doing it yourself. 13.) Of course he's a high functioning sociopath. I have a type. Christ. 14.) Lestrade: Because Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And one day, if we're very luck, he may even be a good one. <--now that is fascinating. 15.) That's fucking genius. 16.) That was hilarious. So that's what it looks like when like recognizes like. I wonder if that's what Lestrade meant. 17.) I love this show. Oh God, I'm so fucked. 1.) Lestrade and Holmes stripping off their sleeves to show their nicotine patches is perhaps the hottest thing I have ever seen and I hate myself for saying that. 2.) I can't see Sherlock in rehab, so every time he goes clean, his withdrawal periods must be epic. 3.) Okay, I buy Sherlock is working on being a high functioning sociopath. I'm not sure he's there yet. Even the loose clinical definition works only if I squint. 4.) Lestrade is utterly fascinating. He's not lying when he says he doesn't know Sherlock even after five years, but he thinks he could know who Sherlock could be. 5.) For a pilot, this was excellent. 6.) Watson shooting things should be in every episode. 7.) Sherlock's reaction to Watson's lack of reaction--the fascination with that--is fascinating. So that was amazing. How many eps have there been?
