Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed this! Hee hee, not long ago on tumblr there was one of those memes going around that asked you to sample the first lines from all your stories, and it made me realize that my opening lines were often rather dull! I thought I should try livening it up for the Ritchieverse, which is the most action-adventure-y Holmesian adaptation :)
Yes, Jude Law's performance of Watson makes it clear that he is no push-over, and, like you, I enjoy the thought that if Holmes was coming into his life it was going to be on his terms. Thank you for sharing the bits that you liked best, I love hearing that! And I'm delighted you had fun with the oysters reference :)
The Ritchie movies do their best to be heartfelt as well as ridiculous, so I could hardly do less. That poor dog, though! He's in for a much less quiet life now that he's in 221B!
