I just started watching Columbo for the first time and oh my god I totally get all y’all’s fascination with this man. He’s hunched and shabby and rambles constantly and seems distressed and disorganized but is in fact always the shrewdest fucker in the room. And like we know nothing about him as a person other than the anecdotes he tells people which may or may not be true. Like the mystery detective is in himself the biggest mystery. Learning his first name is a lore drop. I know more about Doctor Who than I do this bedraggled man with a glass eye. Character of all time for real.

Thinking about how Watson has such a low self esteem throughout the stories and often downplays how important his contributions are, yet Sherlock, instead of explaining it all himself, often encourages Watson to figure it out himself (even if his answer is wrong). He trusts Watson’s intelligence, and often goes to him to bounce ideas off of. He’s his friend and colleague.

I just think that’s really sweet

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)

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game
