Only The Weak

"The modern world, when it praises its little Caesars, talks of being strong and brave: but it does not seem to see the eternal paradox involved in the conjunction of these ideas. The strong cannot be brave. Only the weak can be brave; and yet again, in practice, only those who can be brave can be trusted, in time of doubt, to be strong."

G(ilbert) K(eith) Chesterton

This is hoping for a second chance ;D:

Mycroft and Watson

What I particularly love about this scene is the fact that it's not just Mycroft playing cat and mouse with John Watson but if one considers that Mark Gatiss is playing Mycroft, a rather intriguing dimension is added. For here the creator is toying with his creation and he is from the looks of it damn sure of his power. Poor John simply has no choice but to go the way he directs him. And thinking of the possibilities that this encounter offers/ plays on, things could get very interesting in the future. My personal view is that Dr Watson is by far the more interesting character and it's simply marvellous how this formerly dull sidekick has become a multi dimensional being. Especially in this scene I began asking myself which of the both is more disturbed/insane, Sherlock or John?!
