For a long time his Watson would always get ragged on for being buffonish and air-headed, and seen as a blight on portrayals of the character ever since, a hurdle to be overcome...

...but perhaps enough time has passed and Watson the character isn't in the shadow of that particular portrayal anymore, and so he's been gathering a new appreciation? I keep running into people who are quite fond of him. Yes he can be pretty stupid. But Holmes adores him, and is pleased to have him around, so it's very easy to decide as a viewer to like him too.

Finally read E. W. Hornung's Raffles books. I kept hearing about it for ages, of course, but always thought it's just something between Holmes and Poirot, never expected it would be so -

"It was Raffles I loved. It was not the dark life we led together, still less its base rewards; it was the man himself, his gayety, his humor, his dazzling audacity, his incomparable courage and resource. "

“But there must have been something not unlike jealousy rankling within me”
