Watson will always be best boi in any iteration of sherlock Holmes

They fucked up Mycroft

They fucked up Irene Adler

They fucked up literally everything you could possibly fuck up

I love the loyalty of sidekick characters like Watson. We all wish we had a Watson to rely on.

Nah, that's not the thing

Watson isn't complete loyal

That's why I like him so much

Sherlock keeps manipulating him

Ah, well as usual, I haven't read anything. So Watson was more innocent then than Holmes?

You know Wilson in House MD

That's what Watson is like

Ah ok, yeah.

He's his own guy, but cares way too much about sherlock

He betrays Sherlock sometimes cos he was too worried

You know, make House a really well behaved guy, and well dressed, and a good fighter

I like that dynamic in stories too, where a relationship is unequal. That's how pretty much every human relationship is. Then we realise our relationships aren't perfectly mutual which can cause insecurities and sometimes poor decisions from those insecurities.

That's sherlock

Yeah, I've no doubt the writer of House was inspired by Sherlock (among many other characters from literary history).

Dude I just realised

Holmes

Homes

Houses

House

Hahaha! Shit, you could be right! That's probably not just a coincidence.

Also Arthur Conan Doyle was a doctor...

And house lives in 22B

like 22 Baker Street

Dude

I cracked the code

Hehehe

He was from Edinburgh, Conan Doyle, same city I'm in right now. Apparently he based Sherlock on a real life doctor acquaintance.

@Deleted User You're right, btw. I'd never noticed the connection before.

"Dr. Gregory House was based on Sherlock Holmes... but Holmes, in turn, was based on a Doctor that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew while studying medicine, Dr. Joseph Bell, whose specialty was diagnosis".

Jeez
`Hugh Laurie was reportedly earning $50,000 per episode in season one, which dramatically increased to $700,000 per episode in season eight.`

Also one more thing

No version of Sherlock got this right so far

Sherlock doesn't use guns

He literally whips people

Kinky.

Carries one of these
