Well, no. That's kind of where my defense here falls apart. In-universe, he probably knew that was the quickest way to annoy her. Re: the writers, though? Yeah, they should have come up with something better.

Exactly. Just... d-:

it kind of annoys me as well that Watson having an ex-girlfriend is supposed to be funny, instead of just... you know... her having an ex-girlfriend

I hadn't thought of that, but... yeah.

Actually I think I read something that said Watson was female in part to deal with Holmes's canon sexism, and to the show's credit, it does do that rather well.

Oh, yeah, I think I've heard that, too. And yeah, aside from the annoying sex crap, which is few and far between, it's pretty good.

Re: "I don't need sex": I kind of liked it too, and for some reason I feel like... maybe Watson was wrong?

First off, if that were true, I kinda feel like they would have made that clear right off. Also, the other theory she stated at the time--that he left London because of a woman--HAS been shown to be right.

c) solving cases is stress relief in and of itself

I'm pretty sure Sherlock says that right out in the first episode, actually.

d) Sherlock possesses more than 3 milliliters of tact somewhere, and recognizes that he is in fact living with another person now

With THIS Sherlock, I actually kind of buy that.

I have to say, though, in my head Sherlock is a sub.

I don't know enough about the topic to know, but you make some good points.

I agree that if Sherlock and Watson are going to get together, it needs to be when she's NOT his sober companion. Speaking of: I hope they address that once the time is up... well, will she stay with him for some reason? And if so, why?

Elementary does seem to do it better, yeah. Honestly, sometimes Sherlock feels like its three different writers write their episodes completely independent of one another, so we're basically getting three different views of the characters that we're supposed to read as all existing in the same universe.

The other theory she stated at the time has been shown to be right

But... not in the way she thought? You're probably right and I'm just remembering it badly, but now that I've said it I kind of want to go down with the ship.

With THIS Sherlock, I actually kind of buy that.

And that right there is why I'm watching Elementary instead of Sherlock now. Plus I like their theme tune better.

Well, it's... eight weeks, right? Something like that? So they have time for both Joan and Sherlock to develop as characters, and I think it'll end up like Martha Jones, how she went on "one trip" with the Doctor - Joan will stay for "a week" or something, or Sherlock will want her to stay because he wants to stick it to Daddy, or whatever. They'll come up with something, no doubt (but wouldn't it be cool if they didn't live together, and were legitimately just friends? This is the part where I only ship them non-canonically.) I feel like maybe Joan might get her license back sometime in the future, like, say, after her stint with Sherlock is up.

And then they, too, can do the "You're living together, you must be-" "LOL NOPE" thing. Hooray.

Honestly, sometimes Sherlock feels like its three different writers write their episodes completely independent of one another

Now that you mention it, I can kind of see that. In one episode, he's a cold bastard who drugs his only friend without consent and gets away with it; in another, he secretly has a heart but has been hurt too many times and so only cares about what John thinks and would die before letting him be hurt. It's just, make up your damn mind.

(And now that I've seen the end of OWTGO, I really really really love Jonny Lee Miller's (Sherlock's) acting when he hears the chained-up lady crying. Like, right after he says "Identify yourself," and she says something in Russian, for about a second and a half he is completely desperate in getting that door open. Then Gregson and Bell and Scumbag Guy show up and he's just intent.)
