Or "What he's resorting to at the end is violence. It's the weakest, weakest thing to do." as proof that Miller and "Elementary" do not "get" Sherlock Holmes. When one plays the Game, it comes down to personal interpretation; what one sees as "Sherlockian" another might not. Depending on the situation being discussed, there maybe no right or wrong answers, just personal opinions and that's what makes the auxiliary body of work about the Canon fun. James C.

"You find out that he comes from a truly stable home. It was a gesture in the first episode, but you see that in practice in the third. You see that, as a boy he was deeply insecure — it begins as a taunt [from his older brother, Mycroft] ... and that comes back to haunt him and he feels like a child. He's reduced to feeling like a child."<br /><br />"What he's resorting to at the end is violence," Cumberbatch says "It's the weakest, weakest thing to do. So, to me, I think that exposes more about Sherlock ... I think you get under the skin of every character with this last season ... This is a really Freudian drama."James C.
