Yeah, see, one of the things I'm going to explore in my "the dark side of Kelly/Annabelle/Polly" fic is the aftermath of everything they've done. That harming other people LEAVES A FUCKING MARK. You can be as jaded and disconnected as you want, there's still going to be something left behind. And, like, that's also part of the point of the sequel to HCSD. That's where Peaches dad dies. That's where Polly picks up a gun for the first time. (OMG, the sequel is going to be ridonkulous.) John should be AFFECTED by what he did in SIP. And I get, yeah, it was in self (uh,sorta) defense, that he was a soldier, that he's done this before, etc., but this was different. This was a fucking civilian, serial killer though he may be. He never signed up to be shot at. He never signed up to be killed. THERE IS A FUCKING DIFFERENCE.
And ok, yeah, within the framework of a TV show? I get it. But I hate that our TV shows never SHOW the aftermath. That everything is hunky-dory after a quick scene change. Like, ok, maybe John was breaking down a little between the time that the cabbie died and Sherlock was with the orange blankie, along with disposing of evidence and hauling arse out of there. But, like, couldn't there have been more of an acknowledgement? And ok, Sherlock inquired (good on Sherlock, proof that he ain't no sociopath), but really? That's it? No resumption of limp, just for a moment, to show that he's affected? It doesn't have to be a fucking discussion of his feelings. The show has already established that he has a psychosomatic limp. LET'S USE THAT, PEOPLE.
Apparently, I have Feelings about this.
And I'm super impressed that all your icons only have three gun uses, given your/our fandoms.
And yes, right, Sherlock? WTF? That gun is loaded. And I know perfectly well that the hair-trigger is a bit of a myth, but practice some basic gun safety, yeah? Don't point at anything that you aren't willing to destroy. Rule number, like, two or something. I don't remember my rules anymore.
And Eliot, yes, good on him for always checking guns properly. Drives me nuts when people do it wrong on TV or in movies. THERE IS A PROTOCOL, LEARN IT, I KNOW IT, WHY CAN'T DIRECTORS GET IT RIGHT. Eliot is impressive in his violence yet commitment to no guns.
No, haven't seen the third season- never even made it through the second season, no cable, you know how it is, and yes, I use your account, but I think I explained elsewhere.
You might have done, yeah, found that fic from my delicious. Lol.
