Yep, pretty much agree with all of this... but the second episode, The Sign of Three, THE SECOND EPISODE!!! Ahem... you might want to watch it soon. :D
And: John not wearing scrubs or some sort of coat in his doctor's office - casual wear, what?
Every GP I've ever had in England did not wear scrubs or a doctor's coat over his/her clothes in the surgery office unless they were getting ready to perform a procedure. I was surprised when first in the US that they did.
I see re: GP. I wondered about that. It looked so odd to my USian eyes. Didn't Watson wear one in the first series when he was doing rounds and Sarah was there? I miss Sarah, you know?
I have plenty of doctors or specialists who do not wear coats and now that I think about it, I wonder if it's mandatory or if it's to be more "doctorly" and if not wearing one means something different. Because it's not really for any SANITARY reasons, is it? More like a uniform to distinguish doctor and patient.
Maybe it's my mood or just that it was too long between series 2 & 3, but I have absolutely no interest in watching and I used to *love* this show. Comments from Moffat/Benedict/Martin on certain subjects also turned me off the show some.
OH 100% AGREED. I loathe the fanbaiting and the whole love-hate relationship they have with fans. It was far too long between seasons (not unexpected) and really, it's a long wait for not a lot of TV, however well done. It became too much of a "thing" as did the triumvirate of Moff/Cumber/Freeman who are all a bit too smug.
And I was a massive fan of the first series. So I hear you.
Now that I have some RL issues that are front and center, I no longer feel super-invested, I can just watch and enjoy or get irritated and then forget about it the next day.
