I bet the list of things Mycroft doesn’t give a shit about is miles long
I’m willing to bet they haven’t created a number large enough to enumerate the amount of fucks he doesn’t give.
“Sherlock, come back and PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON so that I can continue not giving a shit!”
God that’s a bit of pretty
I really hope Mycroft gets portrayed better in series 3. In the books, Mycroft is smarter than Holmes — just very, very lazy. In series 2 he’s a completely bumbling moron. Did he really think he could tell Moriarty his brother’s complete story and there wouldn’t be any problems? Why didn’t he intervene, at all, if he’s portrayed as so goddamn powerful? The writing was inconsistent. He’s the cool and collected British government in one scene, and an idiotic politician in the next. Mycroft and his brother have problems (who doesn’t?) but he’s willing to just hang him out to dry? The only thing he does is give John vague advice? Come on, Mycroft. Remember Mrs. Hudson’s advice next time. You’re damn lucky there’s a next time.
“What shall we tell Sherlock?”
Mycroft, can I just have you?
Can we talk about how much I loved Mycroft in this scene? We saw so many different sides of him that we weren’t privy to in series one and I just adored it. I think one of the things I liked the most was the fact that, even when he was being a bully, he was still a big brother. Through the whole episode, he continued to play the role of the elder sibling. Perhaps my view is a bit skewed because I’m an older sibling myself, but knowing what it feels like to want to do everything to keep your little brother safe makes me love Mycroft.
