“I don't understand your fascination with this modern version of Holmes.” Sheldon grumbles. Penny grins at him.
“Let's see...tall, thin, pale, oddly sexy, madly brilliant and really bad at getting on with normal people?”
A pause.
“Oh.” Another, more thoughtful, pause. “...Penny, do you think I should get a new winter coat?”
(I'm also a hardcore Brett/ACD fan, but the new BBC version has some fun stuff in it. It is a guilty pleasure.)
Leonard is a born minion. He'd have a long way to go before he even attained sidekick status. And even then, you'd never be able to trust him.
Sheldon/JP used to use a deeper voice. He's become more querulous over time, part of the infantilising. It made his lapses into whackadoodle definitely more noticeable. He was a strange adult, not an overgrown toddler.
