oh soviet sherlock holmes i love you. i love your silly prankster holmes who is still kind and polite and caring. i love your very sweet, a little bumbling and yet smart and capable watson. i love the way you allow those two to be so physically affectionate with each other, and i love the way they look at each other like the other hung the moon and the stars. i love your mrs hudson who's such a delight and always up to participate in one of sherlock’s schemes. i love your baskervilles adaptation specifically - the gloomy atmosphere, sir henry, the double hug holmes and watson share when reunited!! i love the emotion the characters have and are not afraid to show at any given time. i love your comedic genius lestrade. i love

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

Sherlock —1.01, A Study in Pink

A man’s best friend.

Watson: If I am to lodge with anyone, I should prefer a man of studious and quiet habits. I am not strong enough yet to stand much noise or excitement.

Holmes: *exists*

Watson: never mind stamford i love him

One of the finest and most beloved Watsons ever to grace the screen has passed away. David Burke was 91 years old, just shy of his 92nd birthday, and he is survived by his wife Anna Calder-Marshall and his son Tom Burke.

By all accounts, he was a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He could have stayed on to play Watson much longer, which would have made many of us very happy, but he chose to leave the show to be nearer to his family, especially since Tom was very young at the time.

His was not the first intelligent and competent Watson, but this version marked a turning point in mainstream depictions, from comedic sidekick to a hero in his own right.

RIP, dear sir. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.
