So I don't get why there isn't a negative correlation between that and the gay jokes. Puzzlingly, that masculine bond is something that's been even more emphasized in recent episodes. It may be a bit arbitrary, but I think these have annoyed me because they're repeated, they're emphasized, and they surround two characters who share a distinctly brotherly bond (speaking of Watson and Sherlock now). The horror.!" Now THAT actually made me laugh out loud. However, best line of the whole thing: Mycroft at the musical, saying "But Sherlock, you don't understand. But especially given how they wasted episode 2 (you'll see what I mean), it's not very satisfying.

(An on/off switch? Really?) Maybe I could forgive it in a series with more than 3 episodes per.
Not to mention of course the paper-thin, implausible story, which is sadly a hallmark of the series. That was probably the biggest insult to Conan Doyle since their degradation of the Irene Adler character.
And the alternate theories were cute, but "Sheriarty?" I mean, seriously? Once they made it clear what they were doing with that scenario I just felt disgusted. Turning these stories into a meme-generator. There's something a little sordid about that. I thought the most blatant line in that respect was Watson's "Write this down: I don't shave for Sherlock." Aaaand, a meme is created on command, just like that. But I personally hated the fan-ficciness of it all. :) Like you I loved the reveal moment and some of the smaller humorous bits throughout. Well, of course I'll have to disagree somewhat.
