Harry Dresden.

I'm glad Gregson punched Sherlock. He deserved it.

MTE. Gregson was completely right when he told Joan that he bet Sherlock probably didn't even feel sorry.

My mind is still on what else Bell and Sherlock have been discussing even though they weren't supposed to be talking to each other. ;)

Also: CLYDE.

I thought this was the Super Bowl episode...?

It was a new one tonight and there's another new one after the Super Bowl on Sunday.

I loved Clyde.

I rewatched this part this morning, so hopefully I got everything correct.


Gregson: Well, tonight is not about you. If I am gonna have this conversation, I’m gonna have a drink to go with it.

Sherlock: I regret that circumstances caused me to endanger our relationship. It was a price I was willing to pay for revenge, as was the likelihood of going to prison. As it turns out, there was no revenge to be had. Given that, it serves no one’s interest for you to keep me from my work.


Gregson: Who the hell are you?

Sherlock: I beg your pardon?


Gregson: ‘Cause obviously you’re not the person I thought you were.

Sherlock: I don’t, I don’t know how to answer that question.


Gregson: You don’t let anyone into your life that’s not constantly concerned with you, what kind of mood you’re in, whether you’re getting high or not, whether you’re going to work like an adult or throw a temper tantrum.


Gregson: You know what? Most of the time, you’re worth it. Because you are special, damned if you don’t know it, but you are.


Gregson: You want to work cases? You’re right, I can’t say no. Don’t think for a minute that I am ever gonna forget that you were planning to murder someone on my watch. And don’t think that I’m ever gonna really trust you again.

Sherlock: You don’t need to trust me to benefit from my intellect, do you?

Gregson: No, I don’t. But I do need to get somethin’ out of my system. *punches Sherlock in the gut, doubling him over and leaving him gasping for air on the bar* Welcome back. *leaves*

I think Sherlock damaged their relationship to the point where I don't know if it will ever be the same between the two of them. He didn't seem to grasp that until just about the time he got punched and by then it was too late. That's why he looked so upset at the end of the episode and it hurt him even more that Watson said she didn't know if he would have eaten Clyde or not because, juudging by his face, she should know him better by now.

I loved it! Sherlock incessantly texting Bell, Clyde, Gregson calling Sherlock out. Perfect.

Hold up for one hot second. Why isn't Sherlock being charged with conspiracy for...something? I feel like someone could make a good case for murder.

For serious, I don't think Captain Gregson would have any other recourse, as a professional.

[hhw]

the hand-wavey excuse was that Moran wouldn't press charges took the fall to cover for Holmes, as frostbit_sky says below.

[frostbit-sky.livejournal.com]

I think because Moran said in his statement that he attacked Sherlock and Sherlock wounded him in self-defense. So they couldn't charge Sherlock.

I'm still in pleats over Harry Dresden.

Loving Clyde...
