CBS' "Elementary"
Got a giggle out of this Guardian quote: “Yes, on paper it sounds horrible. But on paper Steven Moffat’s updated Sherlock sounds horrible, too. A modern-day Sherlock. Where Watson writes a blog. And most episodes centre around Sherlock’s ability to guess passwords. Who’d want to watch that?”
How on earth did I not notice how often Sherlock cracks passwords until...

Dear random guy in the library
So, my phone goes off in the library. My ringtone is still Stayin’ Alive. I grab my phone before it can get more than a few notes in, dart out, take the call then come back to pack up my stuff and head off to a class.
As I’m piling up my papers, I see, scrawled in pencil “Ah ah ah, stayin’ alive” on one of my articles. The guy sat across from me gives me a grin.

Here’s a little masterpost of my slapdash “Sherlock and autism” “essays”. Hope you find them interesting:
TL;DR: AKA a “Why Sherlock has Asperger’s” Manifesto - part 1
Now That’s What I Call TL;DR: Why Sherlock has Asperger’s 2: Explaining Sherlock’s Less Pleasant Behaviour with AS
Now That’s What I Call TL;DR: Why Sherlock has Asperger’s 3: Sherlock the Superhero? Autism as a Super Power.

Sherlock's sexuality in light of AS
hazelshade:
Essentially, I think trying to label Sherlock’s sexuality is really futile—and not because he’s a fictional character (blasphemy!).
Because, okay,
People with autism want to have romantic relationships but they feel they’re unable to. They feel they don’t know the rules
I think this is true generally (at least the feeling they’re unable to part—not necessarily the wanting to...

Something that's bugging me about Reichenbach
Okay, so I know John says that he doesn’t think that Sherlock ever told a lie about his abilities as a detective. But does he thinks Sherlock committed suicide? He can’t have known about Moriarty forcing Sherlock’s hand, right? Or have I just misunderstood John’s view of the scene?
If so, I’d love anyone who could point me in the direction of some fic where...

Again, as per usual, please take it as read that what follows are all my own thoughts and opinions. I’m not claiming to represent the views of anyone aside from myself. Make what you will of it. And again, this will make a lot more sense if you cast an eye over part 1 and part 2 first.
Basically the below is a little consideration of the argument that, if BBC’s Sherlock has AS (and considering...

Eep, hi?
Okay so I think it’s obvious that I have zero idea what I’m doing on Tumblr. Still, somehow I’ve wound up with some followers: hey, how’s it going?
Anyway, I just wanted to say if anyone wants to drop me a line or ask me a question, feel free to! Particularly if it’s in reference to BBC’s Sherlock and especially with regard to the idea of Sherlock having AS....

This is a follow up to my “Why Sherlock has AS” manifesto that I’ve been working on, apropos of nothing much. In the first part I attempted to explain Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) in a non-AS-friendly way for anyone interested in understanding this apparently “canon” take on BBC’s Sherlock in light of “The Hounds of Baskerville”. If that is something that interests you I recommend you read that...

BA (Dubl), MA, PhD (Cantab)
Seb finds the certificate – stained, torn, seemingly spat on- under a pile of counterfeit euros and a pristine, perfectly kept and utterly incriminating accounting ledger.
“Racketeering” says one entry, “Arson” says another. Murder, Seb knows, goes under the diplomatic heading of “Other Services”.
Jim returns home with the tiniest fleck of dried blood dotted in the...

[Fic] For a Case - Sherlock + John bromance
Title: For a Case Characters: John, Sherlock Summary: John couldn’t pinpoint when Sherlock had begun to trust him. The closest he could get was to say it was somewhere between the day he shot a man dead on his behalf and the day he walked in on him dancing in his dressing gown in the living room of 221B. Warnings: None. Presumably pre-Reichenbach but no references to particular episodes anyway....

Not childish at all.
What other reaction is there to seeing your friend went to a talk by a Professor Moriarty than giggles? Exactly.

Happy "Sherlock Holmes, this is Dr John Watson"...
Happy “Sherlock Holmes, this is Dr John Watson” Day, everyone! Whether you slash it or not, it’s a great fictional event.
I’m not really one for rewatching whole episodes of television shows but, odd as it might be, I can always rewatch the scene of Sherlock and John meeting in A Study in Pink. I wish more of the adaptations had filmed the meeting scene because it’s...

TL;DR: AKA A "Why Sherlock has Asperger's"...
I’ve been jotting down dribs and drabs of this when I’ve had a free minute since Hounds aired and thought I might as well post it now. It’s gotten stupidly long enough, I think. Hope perhaps someone finds it interesting, compelling or just another way of looking at Sherlock or Johnlock, in particular.
Okay, so there’s shippers manifestos out there but this is a little...

New headcanon
Sherlock and Bernard Black are cousins or something (lookit the hair, the clothes). Manny went to St Bart’s after he swallowed the Little Book of Calm; John had clearly just come off a night-shift and did some GCSE Grade C Doctor-ing.
Bernard and Manny move in together, Bernard rings up Sherlock and tells him he has a shop assistant, a live-in one, and he should get one too! They make tea,...

Am I missing something?
Or did the Americans already do a modern day version of Sherlock Holmes? That was actually pretty decent? Called House? Why for the love of God do they need another one?

Freaky coincidence
By some crazy coincidence I took a wrong turn on the way to my job-related shenanigans and wound up standing, looking up at the roof of St Bart’s.
From John’s perspective I think the most horrible thing about it is St Bart’s isn’t *that* tall of a building. You can almost hear the crunch of a body hitting the pavement.
And to avoid spoiling for people who don’t...

Help a girl out with Reichenbach spoilers?
Okay so I adore spoilers but for the life of me I can’t find the TV Guide scans going around. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please message me if you know where I can find them! I promise not to post them on here, I’m just gagging to find out…

Just been reading reviews of Reichenbach Fall
Damn spoiler-free reviews, I love getting spoiled damnit.
My thoughts still behind the cut, just in case.
The description of why Freeman’s excellent in this episode is what I feared. I was hoping over the top angst but they’ve confirmed the worst: he’s understated. Damn you Freeman, damn you and your understated, heartbreaking everyman turn that you do.

Another desperate bid for fic recs
I’ve just realised that I have zero idea how to find good gen, non-pairing based fic, oh dear.
