Dialogues: Sherlock's character

Is Sherlock really an autist or does he choose to stay away from "normal people"?
He is often absent-minded, slightly depressed -bored.
In the serie, that gives an opportunity for funny dialogues:

Philip Anderson, the penitent

Sherlock and Philip Anderson have a special relationship, from the beginning. Sherlock usually ignores people, but he dislikes, despises Anderson. His presence makes him nervous. 

Mary Morstan

Mary Morstan, John's wife, is a pretty little liar.

That, Sherlock can see it at first glance. But beside some details about her, he can hardly learn anything. For once, trusting John's choice, Sherlock will be friendly with Mary, who appreciates him too. Mary's noticeable talent is to make the autistic genius behave quite normally!

Sherlock doesn't show any sign of "jealousy" towards her -Major Sholto will be less lucky. And Mary support John's need for action, his strange adventures with his friend. Patient, always taking things good humouredly, she gives John's life the joy and sunshine that was missing before.

Actually, after having helped him to overtake Sherlock's first death, she will provide her husband's life with much more than that. John Watson is definitely not a quiet and normal citizen.

Charles Augustus Magnussen

Magnussen is a powerful man. Several ways lead to power. His favourite one: information. Blackmail, intimidation, pressure points... Most people don't assume their weaknesses, and Magnussen manipulates them like a maestro.

Casting 1.3 - The great game

This episode doesn't lack of excellent characters ! I made a subjective choice with the list below :

Casting 1.1 A study in pink

In this introductive episode, all main characters are present (aside Mary Morstan and Bill Wiggins, season 3). Below are the characters appearing only (or mainly) in this episode.

Sherlock Holmes : such an attractive smackhead...

Sherlock is uncommon in many a way: 

He is able to focus his superior mind on certain topics, all related to crimes, and display genial deductions; at the same time, he is completely ignorant in other fields, because he doesn't care and doesn't want to waste intellectual resources on it. That enough makes him more than an eccentric, a "freak". 

John Watson : simply irresistible !

John Watson, Holmes's rock

There is a enigma about John : what does he fear ?

We know little about John's past : he made his medical studies in London, was a military doctor -a good one, received a bullet in the left shoulder, and came back to London. He's got a sister, with whom he doesn't get along very well.

Mycroft Holmes

Mark Gatiss reserved a choice character for himself, and he did well to do so! His Mycroft is puzzling, subtle, cold and annoying, but sometimes lovable when he accepts to show that he cares for his "little brother".

Casting 1.2 - the blind banker
