Some people are. I have a friend whose family seems to show affection by teasing each other to the point of (what I see as) cruelty, yet they see nothing wrong with it as though siblings are supposed to be that cutting. See, my family is that way. I have no idea where it came from, considering how strict our parents are, but we're vicious with each other. To the point where I have to reign it in when I'm in public and learn that not everyone shows affection via insult. For the record, I have sister like yours(the one I posted about). We don't seem to agree on much outside of superficialities.
-Not to sound arrogant, but I've often wondered the same thing as Sherlock does here...not because I'm a genius, but because I have a very interesting brain that, from what I can tell, does things a little differently than other people's brains.I've often wondered similar. I don't even think my brain is that special. But the amalgamation of obscure pop culture combined with my incredibly hyperactive thoughts and rapid-fire internal Q+A, it's

At least you know how to reign it in! Haha...I spent a whole weekend with my friend and her family (she's one of 5 girls), and by the end of it I was just like "What. What just happened?" (Also, they were super religious and it was Easter weekend, and by the end of the weekend if I heard another song about Jesus, I was going to kill somebody.)
But the amalgamation of obscure pop culture combined with my incredibly hyperactive thoughts and rapid-fire internal Q+A, it's often pretty bizarre to me. And I live in it.
Haha, yeah, and that sounds different from my brain too. I have to sort of brain that causes me to giggle for no apparent reason (my brain is constantly trying to make me laugh, apparently)...and, really, the only other person in my life who ever giggled for no apparent reason was my non-verbal schizophrenic uncle.
I have to agree with your assessments that Mycroft doesn't really know Sherlock. John's known

1. I like that they kept it open so that everyone could interpret it as they wanted. I mean, certain character traits they had to keep...like John liking women (since he eventually gets married to a woman)...but I like that they kept it open so that some could see John as bisexual if they wanted. Personally, I like to see John as heterosexual and Sherlock as a bi-romantic asexual. I like exploring that deep love they have with each other as something apart from sexual desire.
2. 10 years between Gatiss and Benedict? Really? Wow. Mark Gatiss looks great for his age, I guess. But yes, I agree with everything you just said.
I will comment on Lestrade rifling through 221B for drugs. It'll be inn the 3rd and final part that I'll post this afternoon at some point.
I don't think Sherlock's really ever that nasty when unprovoked. I mean, yes, insensitive, but not nasty. In my mind, there's a backstory there in which Sally and Anderson really DESERVE what they get from Sherlock - but we just never see it. Yes, yes, yes!
Then the way Sherlock smiles at John as John goes to the door and gets his cane from Angelo....awww...it's basically Sherlock's way of seeing "See what I did there? You aren't broken at all. You're brilliant and I want you to chase me around London for always, okay?" Sweetest smile in history. Who could seriously believe that Sherlock is a sociopath after seeing that?

I'd love to know what started the whole Sherlock-Sally antagonism thing. We'll probably never find out though. :P
