Another Sherlock Holmes rant (because we do that here now apparently). I have noticed how much people just don't seem to get Sherlock Holmes. Two years ago, Netflix was sued for making Sherlock Holmes "too emotional". Not to disrespect anyone, but I think BBC Sherlock played a large part in the promotion of that misconception, what with the regular "high-functioning sociopath" nonsense. Most respectfully, all of these claims are bullshit, and I will die on this fucking hill.

For the unaware:

Sherlock Holmes is not a Machine.

I don't think I can convey the full extent of my outrage through just words. Because Sherlock Holmes had been written to be a human being right from the beginning and the Doyle and co are illiterate heathens if they believe otherwise. So gear up, folks, because this is going to be a long ride.

Those who have read the books will know how downplayed the BBC Sherlock first meeting scene was. Sure, Holmes was in a lab, sure Stamford introduced them and sure Watson was awed by the man. But that is it. Literally the first thing Holmes ever said in the books was "I found it! I found it!" And it is worth noting that he was shouting this at the top of his lungs. The description goes, ahem:

Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features......“Ha! ha!” he cried, clapping his hands, and looking as delighted as a child with a new toy. “What do you think of that?”

So this is the first meeting and the first emotion we see on this man is not indifference, is not concentration. It is childish, unfiltered joy at finding out something new. So for emotion 1 we get Delight.

Fast forward a few paragraphs and they are talking about lodgings. And this Holmes is actually interested in discussing matters instead of spouting his vices at rocket speed. This instantly has the effect of making him seem considerate. And when he asks about whether Watson has a problem with him playing the violin, he does so anxiously. Almost like living with someone who hates your guts would actually be inconvenient. Huh. So we get a little bit of Anxiety as the next emotion.

Moving on, we find that Sherlock Holmes is not at all brash. In fact, he is rather kind and gentle under normal circumstances. Consider this:

Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with. He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular.

And this:

When any of these nondescript individuals put in an appearance, Sherlock Holmes used to beg for the use of the sitting-room, and I would retire to my bed-room. He always apologized to me for putting me to this inconvenience.

What does this tell us? That Sherlock Holmes is not the arsehole he is depicted to be in media. He is perfectly capable of acting civilized. Of course, what we must remember is that this is very, very early on during their acquaintance, so it's possible Holmes has some inhibitions. That shows us he is perfectly aware and capable of behaving functionally when he thinks he's supposed to. It's only later that he grows comfortable with Watson and abandons social formalities.

Wow, that was long. Maybe I'll do a second part sometime. Until then, people who want to criticise my opinion, I'll be waiting. (I'll see you in hell)

Train Meditation

I sit on the morning train, Surrounded by commuters in grey suits and blue suits and black suits. There are people answering emails on their phone, People answering emails on their laptops, And people taking naps to prepare for an exhausting day ahead.

It is quiet, And although it is crowded And the carriage rocks And the LED lights are bright, Peace still lingers. I close my eyes, Focus on my breath, And find stillness amidst motion.

Underrated moment from the series is when Hana leaves sky finance and Akiyama admits he's got a lot of baggage from the past, especially about his ex and she plainly admits she's too dependent on him- her life sorta revolves around him- taking care of him, the business and she needs some time on her own. It's such a weirdly emotionally honest sequence and it really made me love those two.

i don't think i've ever watched a season of a show that fast.

i really liked season eleven. i think the character arcs were mostly well balanced–i do wish there had been even two more episodes so we could have spent a bit more time on yaz and ryan, because i think the focus was mostly on graham–but for such a big main cast i think it was done pretty well.

i don't think it's my favorite season–that goes to season four, hands down, and then ten–but i think it's really, really good, and they've got a good story and a good cast. i think the character interactions are really excellent and jodie whittaker is a really good doctor, and all the personalities are really vibrant and wonderful.

the plots are a bit messy and complicated, but when aren't they? zombie mud aliens in a witchfinder episode isn't so much less believable than shapeshifting giant wasps and agatha christie. and i like that they're self contained enough that they're all in one episode, because i think with only ten they don't have enough to waste on a double feature.

i think what i'm driving at is that i love doctor who because it's a show that goes into the highest heights and lowest depths of humanity, puts people in crazy situations and tries to see how they'd react, because it talks about family and grief and the hugeness of the universe and kindness and cruelty and it loves every last bit of it, and it doesn't take it too seriously unless it has to.

and i think season eleven does that really well.

This year I wrote more than in any other year. I haven't done much of anything else but at least I wrote and wrote until my fingers bled. Ok, maybe not that much, but close.
