Somewhere in my Youth or Childhood, I was Badly Misunderstood

[steepholm]

I just had to stop watching the last Sherlock, after it became clear that it was going down the road of...



... his being accused of a crime he did not commit. It's a type of plot I just can't enjoy. I'm moderately good at handling violence, and conflict is fine, but I find increasingly that extended misunderstandings, and false accusations above all, are horribly stressful. This is especially true if they never get resolved - which is one reason why I'd rather watch The Winter's Tale than Othello.

No doubt it reflects some childhood trauma, but am I alone in this reaction?

You're not alone in it at all, but despite feeling pretty squeamish, I ended up really liking it. Mostly because of Watson's enduring faith, I admit. ;)

Yes. I always tend to like Watson, but I really like this Watson. :)

The end, oh my heart. 'Just, one more little thing. For me.' OH.
