Mental world / Sherlock

[keep_counting]

First of all, please take a look at THIS and sign it if you want to help.

Now on to something fun I found on tumblr:

Patrick Jane from The Mentalist basically poses a theory on how Sherlock could have survived (and whoever made this parallel is awesome)

Small ball

It's pretty neat, plus different from a few other theories - even if it is just still speculation

It is an awesome theory, and very well-spotted. There is one other that I think is very likely as well (I've posted about it yesterday I think), but it's 50/50 for me on the two, and with the Mentalist-thing right after... my little fangirl-heart would be forever happy :)

Hmm, I guess I meant more in that a lot of Jane's motivation is the death of his family. Jane has loved, deeply, and still cares, I think, whereas Sherlock was sociopathic for many years. In the first season, he didn't percieve Lestrade or Mrs Hudson or maybe even John as a 'real friend', but in Reichenbach he clearly does. So I would say that Jane is more 'normal' in terms of sentiment and human relations and at least learned about that long before the start of the series, through his wife and daugther. The Mentalist is in a way about Jane finding the man who 'killed' his humanity (Red John) while Sherlock is about our main character finding that humanity to begin with. I don't really see Jane as out-of-touch in the 'don't understand' way, more in the 'I don't want this' way, while Sherlock seems much more baffled about some human emotions. But as you said, Sherlock has a long way to go yet ;)
