“Victor Trevor is so normal… he’s even more normal than John Watson.”
“He’s so normal he’s the human equivalent of a scoop of vanilla ice cream doused with water.”
“He’s so normal he eats white bread and water. He takes his tea with just hot water.”
“Victor is so normal he blends into the wallpaper of 221B.”
— Lou and Creole’s A+ personal canon of Victor Trevor (or, Sherlock Holmes’ only friend prior to John Watson)
“My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.”

So I saw this in my notifications. Boy did it get me worked up!

I genuinely don’t understand why people dislike Sally Donovan. Mostly because I’ve had premeditated assumptions about what type of people would like BBC Sherlock enough to have strong opinions on the show, such as the dislike of a character:
I assume these mostly because appreciating narratives always lends to something inspirational in one’s own personal life, and the show’s display of Sherlock’s brilliance and critical thinking is, I thought, something most people could at least pick up a bit. And so it baffles me why people would dislike Sergeant Sally Donovan, and most times passionately so.
