Hey if you’re feeling down or disappointed about the way things may have gone this season just try thinking about all the fantastic ladies on this show and trust me you will feel so so much better. I mean there’s
- Anthea, who is a highly placed intelligence officer in the government with incredibly privileged security clearance and gives absolutely zero fucks about either John or Sherlock
- Sally, the high ranking detective who kept her job because she’s damn good at it and refuses to be cowed by the asshole who keeps swanning into her crime scenes and fucking them up
- Jeanine, who is funny and sarcastic and resourceful and forthright and who absolutely refused to sit back and passively take even the slightest hint of “shame” and instead turned Sherlock’s horrible treatment of her back on him to help herself and humiliate him
- Mrs. Hudson, an older woman who is presented as a complete and complex human with a full and fascinating back story that does not revolve around the two boys that she will do anything to protect INCLUDING taking on fully trained CIA agents
- Mary, another woman with a complicated past that does not focus on the men in her life, a woman who is unapologetic for her history and does not beg for forgiveness while looking to make amends
- Molly, an absolute queen who has gone through some of the most incredible character development in such a short period of time, going from being a woman who was fine with meekly being manipulated by the man she fancies to demanding apologies for his wretched behavior
Say what you will about the plot developments but god damn if these fantastic women who can play Sherlock Holmes like a fucking fiddle don’t make you happy then seriously I don’t know what will
