而这一年的主题,正是关于那些他深深关心着的人们的。某种程度来说,他意识到:“那不是一个弱点,那是一种力量。”他自己想明白了这个问题。他确实有感情。那使他感到惊讶,更甚于他曾经冷血无情的事实。他终于搞清楚,为什么他的推理手段在艾琳·艾德勒身上不起作用了。他花了几年来搞清楚这件事(!!!)。从这个意义上来说,他变得成熟了。
And this is the year, thematically, he realizes there are people about whom he cares deeply. And at a certain point, he'll be like, "That's not a weakness, that's a strength." But it's him realizing that. He does care that [a certain remark upsets a colleague]. That surprises him even more than the fact that he was blind to [something that was obvious to everyone else]. He finally figures out why he can't function around Irene Adler [of "Scandal"]. It takes him ages to figure that out. It's that element of growing up.
