LOL at Holmes treating Watson more or less like a new pet. Naturally this is what actually happens, which upsets Watson even more. And of course there are Moriarty/Moran undertones. I am a big fan of subtext.
Yes x1000 to Holmes being indifferent to Watson's suffering about his sexuality, and totally not getting why it might be a problem. (Also LOL "But John, can't we just-" "Sorry Mary, Holmes struck again, gotta go")
I am intrigued to know what tells us that the film takes place in '91, because I have been trying to place it, but that is largely irrelevant and I think '84-'85 works nicely (unless, of course, something really cool happened in '83 or something, besides which dates can be fudged since this is AU)
Cliches have a bad name - they are over used because they are actually pretty good.
