Some more raving about Sherlock...

...and then I promise I'll leave you alone.
Probably.
I read The Science of Deduction and John's blog and I nearly died of the MOE - why is everything so perfect about this show? ;____; John describing Sherlock on their first meeting (omg teh squee) and saying that he was "clearly a bit public school" made me think (well, more like fantasize, especially when I researched what "public school" meant in England -- I could guess but I had no clue ^^ ). Of course Sherlock would have gone to a public school, and Mycroft too, and to the same one, obviously. Preferably a boarding one, because that's one of the greatest British contributions to ghei fantasies around the world -- I'm thinking Eton, because hey, it's Mycroft, and Eton is where you start to rule the world. Sherlock's family would have sent Sherlock there too just because it's what they do -- and so that Mycroft could keep an eye on him a little (squee!).
Plus, just look at the uniforms there -- aren't they absolutely fantastic? Can't you just picture both Mycroft and Sherlock very well in these?

(God I love England. Sigh. So MOE.)
I also discovered the origin of the word "fag" (hey, I mainly speak French, I couldn't possibly know, ok?); the wikipedia article made me giggle like a five-year-old, especially because of the term "fag-master" (I'm sorry, I'm still giggling at it, I just can't control it XD). I can just imagine Sherlock on his first day of school being picked on as a fag (in the first sense of the word, of course. Of course.) as part of the whole hazing ritual and turning the balance of power on his seniors by verbally ruining the living shit out of them in two or three sentences. And after that everybody would just generally avoid him and leave him alone for the rest of his school career (except the ones who don't know better, but they'd end up learning too). OMG I can imagine Mycroft trying to arrange stuff for Sherlock from the shadows without Sherlock knowing and of course Sherlock would know anyway, and he would eventually come up to Mycroft to deliver the taunting of a lifetime and tell him to mind his own business and go back to blackmailing the Headmaster and whatnot. Sherlock's a free bitch, baby.
Sherlock would not be top of his class, just because most of the subjects wouldn't interest him and he would just erase all unuseful informations from his hard drive (except that the French teacher hides to smoke and she recently had an abortion due to medical complications, or that the History and Geography teacher used to have a lisp when he was young but he fixed it by seeing a speech therapist), but he would be very good at Physics and Chemistry -- he could even be the teacher's pet, and obviously he would take full advantage of it like he does with Molly,manipulating charming the teacher into leaving him the lab outside teaching hours to let him conduct his experiments, for example.
Is it very wrong that I fantasize so much about Sherlock receiving corporal punishment? Maybe it's because he's such a control freak, I dunno, I just love the idea of him being whipped or flogged or caned, and I bet he would love it too (maybe my mind's just twisted from having read The Administration saga and I just see Warrick everywhere).A pity that Corporal punishments aren't administered anymore in Eton, it stopped in the 80's (O____o that's actually a bit late in the century, in my opinion, I thought it would have stopped sooner, with the advent of Freudian psychology and everything). Eton's wikipedia article says that "Anthony Chenevix-Trench, Head Master from 1964 to 1970, abolished the birch and replaced it with caning, also applied to the bare posterior, which he administered privately in his office." *snerks* I bet he did.
Eton has an official school song! And it's in Latin! Oh god. Why the fuck do I find that hot? It's ridiculous! I'm just fucking sick. *listens for the umpteenth time*
Did I mention how much I loved Mycroft and Sherlock's interaction? I just love dysfunctional families and the Holmes look majorly fucked-up. I think the squee factor here is that I think they appreciate each other but are just too clever and too much of control freaks to express anything emotional -- so it shows through very, very subtle subtext, so subtle in fact that it leaves Watson completely out of it. This scene in the third episode where Watson just watches them playing their little power game is delightful -- he represents the spectator viewpoint, the "normal" counterpart to this very abnormal scene and just like us, he can't possibly guess what's underlying and what's at stake between the two Holmes.
Mycroft and Sherlock are kind of like Atreides to me -- so much stuff and power play going on in a simple nod or a formal greeting. I think their mother must be as insane as them - I'd looooove to see Mrs Holmes next season, I bet she's absolutely terrifying.
For some reason, I adore Anderson too. It's just too funny the way Sherlock bullies him and how Anderson doesn't really seem to care -- I don't want to see them romantically involved, I mean, Sherlock and John are just this unbreachable fortress of an OTP, but I think it's a brilliant character and I hope we'll see more of him next season too.
Shit. Now I really want to write fic. I shouldn't. I don't have the time and I'm not smart enough and I won't even mention my English which is as crappy as ever... But. Augh. God. So tempting.
Please tell me I shouldn't.
