Tyger Tyger Burning Bright

 Tonight I've been rewatching Sherlock - Case of Evil which manages to be terrible but also kind of good in a bad way?

I mean ~sexy~ absinthe-drinking womanising straight Sherlock Holmes, bad

D'Onofrio's Moriarty now reminds me too much of Laszlo from What We Do in the Shadows which is kind of odd more than bad I guess

Moriarty using Holmes to give him an alibi though by staging his own death by making Holmes 'kill' him, good

And Moriarty wearing a bullet-proof vest

And being generally very difficult to actually kill

Mycroft not going anywhere because he's disabled is an interesting idea actually

Semi-acknowledgement that Holmes can't just go around killing people, good (that's always kind of bothered me about the canon. Sometimes they kill people and like... nothing happens? Holmes and Watson seemingly can just get away with murder?) Though Holmes ultimately does still seem to get away with killing people without any consequence in this too

The swordfighting is kind of hot

So is the Moriarty forcibly drugging Holmes I mean wait what

Watson is very different to the canon and the way he meets Holmes and everything is totally different but he still manages to be a badass in a different way, they did not at all go down the 'stupid Watson' route so... good, I guess?

James D'arcy is a very very pretty Holmes
