“I bet you get bored, don’t you? I know you do. Man like you. So clever. But what’s the point of being clever if you can’t prove it. Still the addict. But this, this is what you’re really addicted to. You do anything—anything at all to stop being bored.”

I think he’s basically - he didn’t start this way. He’s brilliant, he was obviously a prodigy at school, and an outsider because of that, and I think what happened is that through dint of that isolating experience, he started to hone these very concentrated skills. And they require certain cut-offs, and I think, ideally, what he’s trying to fashion himself into, because he has possibly been hurt, because he does, possibly, have a heart. He’s someone whose robotic, almost, in his illogical capacity to deal with people, problems, like a machine. What this series is about, in the gestation of his character and the relationship with Watson, that very much humanizes and grounds him, is his growth from this sort of impervious, uh, almost superhero-level of intelligence acquired through dint of hard work, but almost unreal. He protects that to a point whereby he can’t anymore, he has to - and his guard’s let down by his feelings. The fact that he’s revealed to be human. So we see eventually a humanization of him, I guess. And, um, I think that’s his biggest problem, is wanting to be more than human, and escape the frailties of being human, while at the same time being human.

30 day Sherlock challenge. 
DAY TWO — Your favorite main character
SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Again, I had a tough time deciding my favorite character. It was between John and Sherlock. I love them both. No question about it. I decided on Sherlock because he’s not like any other person in the whole world. He’s one of a kind. Don’t get me wrong, so is John. Sherlock is just a little distant, damaged, an arse sometimes yet brilliant. You can hate him but then in seconds you just want to hug him. I’m starting to think I’ll do another one for John. Because he’s just so..John
