Sherlock 1-10: five relationships

Sherlock Holmes and DI Greg Lestrade

Aside from his relationship with John, Mycroft and Moriarty, (and Mrs. Hudson, too, to a certain extent), Sherlock’s most important one is with Lestrade, because this (which starts out, I presume, as a mutually beneficial arrangement and then a friendship, albeit in a looser sense) is what enables Sherlock to practice his genius. Without Lestrade, Sherlock wouldn’t gain access to the criminal cases that thrill and occupy his mind.

And I especially appreciate this in the BBC series, how Lestrade has been transformed from the man Watson describes as “a little sallow rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow” in ACD’s canon to the character we know today, which is a vast improvement on how Holmes sees him, “the best in a bad lot.”

Funny. Thought that if you could hear me, I could hang on somehow. Silly me... Silly old Doctor... when you wake up, you'll have a Mum and Dad. And you won't remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little. I'll be a story in your head. That's okay; we're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one. 'Cos it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, borrowed it; I was always gonna take it back. Oh, that box, Amy. You'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand new and ancient. And the bluest blue ever. And the times we had. Woulda had. Never had. In your dreams they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond. And the days that never came.
