Inconsistency.

Something is really very wrong here. :)

Is it weird that my first thought is: ohh, so new Holmes is actually a crazy person who THINKS he’s Sherlock Holmes, and Lestrade, Mycroft etc are actually completely different people who are so used to his weirdness that they let him call them by Holmesian names and flap about, being ~The Great Detective~, because he’s so good at it. At first they kick him out of crime scenes like who the hell is this weirdo in the coat with the magnifying glass, but he keeps showing up and he keeps solving the goddamn crimes. And so it goes on: he swoops in, calls the DI “Lestrade” and solves shit, and they shake their heads and go back to their work. Then this funny little ex-army doctor who happens to be called John Watson shows up, and he and “Sherlock” take to one another so well, John just assumes he’s moved in with the son of a couple of Conan Doyle enthusiasts who’s taken nominative determinism a step too far. He’s slightly horrified when Mycroft sits him down and patiently explains that no, it’s not just a peculiar coincidence, we let him have his fun because it’s more productive than locking him up again, but what can he do? It’s not ‘til Moriarty appears that people start worrying.
