I am watching Sherlock. Have watched first two of this year.
I'm somewhere between bored and annoyed.
I'd be vaguely interested in John and Sherlock if they were ever going to go anywhere, but there they are, archetypal, all done. There will be jokes about how everyone thinks they're boyfriends. Which isn't a funny joke. If true, unremarkable, and if not true, unremarkable. Make them boyfriends or don't, there's no joke in it.
There's been a joke about how Sherlock is Asperger's, which is stupid, because (a) we're not a joke and (b) he's far far far too good at reading social signals. He doesn't want to play by them, but he can read them like anyone's business. We have the opposite problem. And he can imitate them perfectly well when he wishes to, which we can't on our best day. Stop poking us. The label doesn't fit.
It's quite possible I'm not in the mood for detectives. I don't watch other detectives. But I will watch this and then delete it off the box.
I've also been vaguely applying cultural studies brain to try and get from the cases to the social tensions they deal with and rebox. But it's all splashy headline buzzword stuff, it's not actual lives, it's nothingy.
Bored now.
