The bit that gets people, its always the little details, isn't it?
People never really understand why I like watching the bbc series so much. I just like seeing the parts that get left out, the little details that I remember but the camera doesn't show. Nooo, because if they showed some of that stuff on the screen, they would wreck their reputation! They can't have the mighty, infallible, unflappable Sherlock Holmes needing moral support on their show!
So they're careful with the camera, making sure it never catches on his hand, where it leaves his side to reach for me, or on when I grab it. Or how his thumb ran across the back of my palm, something to get the nerves out while he had a gun trained on the bomb-lined jacket he'd stripped me out of only moments before while standing in the middle of a public pool with at least 4 snipers each trained on us. Hope you liked the show, Jim.
They never hear the message buried underneath my every utterance of "I'm not gay". Because I'm not, bisexuality isn't gay, it's bisexual. Duh.
Also, pay attention when Sherlock says "[I] expressed that thought in every possible variant available to the english language". He means it. Every possible variant. And some in french, if I recall correctly (and I do). And yes, that includes the exact words Ms. Adler used to express the thought. And I got to thrice before he was even on the table, so... checkmate, Irene, but you'll have to try harder. ;)
Point is, there's so much you (the general public) don't see, that I never wrote about. And I love getting to rub these little tidbits in. Mycroft says it's cocky, I say it's justified.
