I'd been avoiding your commentaries cause I hadn't seen the episodes yet. But now I've seen them all I feel free to comment with a modicum of intelligence ( hopefully ). I'll try to avoid spoilers.
This was VERY interesting. When you mentioned Thinkers and Feelers my mind went to Isabel Meyers Briggs or David Keirsey. But when you defined them I don't think you were thinking of those folks. What theory are you using to define Thinkers and Feelers? I'd love to read more about it.
I honestly didn't understand the whole discussion about the hat or about the goldfish. Or rather, they led me to expect something that didn't happen so I'm a little bit lost as to why they had these conversations NOW.
I never thought Sherlock was emotionless. And I agreed with your conclusion that he is not autistic and that he doesn't have asperger's syndrome.
Based on your comments above I'd love to know what you think were the reasons behind why the brothers had such different caretaking. I know you implied that it's the fallout from having more than one child. But I don't believe that's the only reason here. And I'd love to know why you think, in light of what we learn about the brothers' background, that change in caretaking happened as well as why they were isolated at such an early age and, apparently, for such an extended time.
But I second the previous comment - always love your analyses! They always make a fun read!

Oh thank you! Yeah I thought they were doing something a little bit like that but I thought they were having the conversation to point to something in the future coming up - and it sort of does later on down the line. But I did get a bit lost with the goldfish because I thought Sherlock was saying Mycroft either DID have a goldfish ( i.e. relationship ) or was in scenting distance of having one. THAT'S kinda why I got confused - although I totally didn't see the actual client coming back again until it happened, lol.
