I’m living, I remember those days when Moffat, Cumberbatch and co were totally shading Elementary, AND LOOK, BITCH, HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. SHERLOCK BBC ESCALATED INTO A GARBAGE TRASH AND ELEMENTARY IS TRUER TO CANON THAN SHERLOCK BBC HAS EVER HOPED TO BE.

Sherlock BBC finale had the lowest viewership in the show’s run and was so bad it got dragged by several review sites, 3 national newspapers, and the BBC itself and then set fire to its own fanbase after queerbaiting them for 5 years

Elementary has an honest to god love confession with a solid 9.7 rating on IMDB and stunning reviews all around despite going up against the fricking Emmys

karma’s a cruel mistress and a viscous bitch.

Look, I’ve never felt any pressure from you that I co-parent. But your idea that I take no responsibility for raising your child…it’s naive. It’s not that I think you’re not capable of raising a child on your own – of course you are – but short of us dissolving our partnership, I’m not capable of not being involved. N-Not  as the child’s father, but as it’s…mother’s friend.

#i don’t think i can put into words just how pivotal this moment is #because for so long we’ve been presented this female Chinese-American Watson and decided not to question it #“why is her last name Watson? because her father’s white; let’s move on” #“watson doesn’t have to be a white male; here’s proof of that!” #and that’s a perfectly fine way to engage a text #but suddenly we have this; something that engages in the complexity and cultural baggage behind that kind of name; that kind of title; #the cultural heritage and the politics of otherness vs assimilation that an immigrant’s name bears #that’s *huge* in terms of the meta-narrative and how to interpret a text because so many Holmes adaptations are just different variations #of the same song #Joan Watson was not born a Watson; she stepped into the name #it doesn’t just challenge and update the Holmes mythos but actively interrogates it #by asking it why this narrative is a) so exclusionary and b) so stifling in its interpretations #that’s extremely meaningful in terms of how we engage with cultural symbols and a franchise as symbollic as the Holmes mythos #anyway: i’m emotional/screaming/dying my skin is clear etc etc (tags via @stardust-rain)
