Okay. I love me some Martha Jones and if she wins this round I will be 100% behind her to win it all. But I want to take a sec to talk in earnest about one of the main reasons I'm backing Joan. None of this has to do with Martha specifically, I think she has her own cool arc with the Doctor, I'm definitely not hating on her, etc. These feelings are separate from Martha. Cool? Cool.

BRB, crying all the tears of how perfectly stated that was and how 100% correct you are...

And I knew it on an emotional-hitting-all-my-buttons-strong-character way but you just made it real.

Thank you!

yup. yup. yup.

and especially this: Fully, really teaching her. Not in a patronizing way, but as a genuine pupil he thinks has a lot of potential.

Yes! That is my favorite thing about their dynamic. Sure, Sherlock thinks he's the smartest person in the room (he is), but he REALLY respects Joan, not just for what she can do in her own fields (though that, too), but for what she can do in HIS field.

I've already voted for Joan (Go, Joan, Go !). I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your comment.

I would NEVER. I adore Doctor Who and Sherlock (and House, even if I did give up in later seasons) and like those relationships and characters for their own reasons. But I'm just so pleased with Elementary for taking what could have been another repeat of the same dynamic and really flipping it on its head in a way that makes perfect sense for the characters as they portray them.

I was going to vote for Joan anyway, but what a good post this is!

I'm excited to finally see the Joan Watson campaign come out in full force and this is such a great first comment.
