I'm glad you found something that helped you, OP.

Personally, I never got that kind of comfort from BBC Sherlock. Canon Holmes, yes, because canon Holmes just cheerfully did his own thing and seemed to find Watson's hopes of his finding romance no more than vaguely amusing. BBC Sherlock, though, kind of struck me as belligerant in the opposite direction? He seems to go out of his way to mock or belittle people for their romantic/sexual hopes or illusions. I know he seems to do that just generally, but it always gave me the impression that he was less confident in who he was and more smugly sure that everyone else was being led around like idiots by their emotions/libido. It didn't even feel like it was about sexuality, more about how his lack of care for/attraction to others made him coldly superior in his own mind.

I can do without that element of mockery in my heroes. I'd rather find someone who was simply confident in their own sexuality than one who seemed to delight in putting other people down for theirs, if that makes sense?

(Also, I only watched S1/S2, gave up after that. Maybe he got better in S3?)

This would be because they have decided that BBC Sherlock is a psychopath. So.

(He pretends to have a relationship and supports Mary/John, so technically?)
