It's like when people divide it into hetero-and homo-sexuals, when there's just a person and their sexuality/gender/nationality shouldn't necesarrily have a bearing on what type of person they are. Exactly! Why can't we just have dramas with characters who are people, not 'they're supposed to be like that because...' That's why I like Rose and Donna, they can be tough sometimes, and so sweet the next time and there's no warning sign like 'oh oh, not behaving like a proper female here'. In the same way Ten(nant) has a feminine side but that never affects his manliness imo... And that's why I love Spooks so much. The female characters are so well-written and everybody is written as a person!
Ah, I don't know about Mycroft, lol. Now that you mention it, he probably did. Everybody treated John like crap, mind you, and I Do. Not. Like! *shakes fist*
Tbh, my favourite thing about this ep was 'Yay! Lots of Mycroft!'. Not enough Lestrade though, if you ask me. Well, see you next time and hopefully we'll be more satisfied. ;)
