Yes, Watson in the end of the first episode decides to trust Sherlock. You can tell that Watson trusts Sherlock by the sheer act of saving him from the cabbie. Then after it being found out by Sherlock on who shot the cabbie, Watson isn’t the least bit concerned that Sherlock will tell anyone it’s him. I think that they need each other a way that peanut butter needs jelly to make a great sandwich. Sherlock is detached and isn’t intrusive in a way that might scare of Watson. While Watson is patient and can handle the craziness that surrounds Sherlock. In a way, Watson calms Sherlock, and Sherlock excites Watson.

I believe that Watson has fully resolved trust issues seen when he and Holmes chase after the perp. This scene showed that Watson trusted Holmes, despite diving into danger. Watson also seemed to enjoy the chase as well. Both of these characters seem to love danger and excitement but balance eachother out. Holmes is obviously the brains while Watson seems to be the brawn. In addition, Sherlock seems to be out of touch with reality while Watson keeps him grounded. Watson shows Sherlock Holmes what it is like to be "normal" in this world full of "idiots," as Holmes points out.

Dr. Watson is diagnosed with “trust issues” and by the end of the first episode it is evident that these trust issues are slowly subsiding. Watson acquired Sherlock as a “friend” which assisted in his ability to slowly better his insecurity, but he is yet to be totally cured. Watson quickly puts trust in Holmes, in that he follows his new acquaintance around for many days to solve a crime, which he has never done before. Therefore, Watson puts his trust in Holmes right when he decides to follow Holmes to various locations in pursuit of solving a serial suicide murder case. Both Watson and Holmes are both essentially outsiders in the world due to their unique personalities. Watson seems to mellow Holmes’ insanity, while Holmes cures Watson’s thirst for action.

Towards the end of "A Study In Pink", it seems that Dr. John Watson is starting to trust Sherlock Holmes. Being a veteran with no real family to turn back to, it would be fitting that Watson has no trust issues. The turning point where Sherlock Holmes wins Dr. Watson's trust is when they were chasing down a cab down Northemburland Street. At that point, Watson forgets his cane and this shows that he is willing to be a colleague of Holmes. The bond that they both share is that they are good executioners and Sherlock's technical genius matches with Holmes' loyalty.

I do not believe that Watson has completely resolved his trust issues. Watson was a veteran of war and those issues do not just disappear in one day. I do believe that Watson has greatly improved. He trusts Holmes. Watson begins to trust Holmes from the moment that he met him. Watson did not have to follow Holmes around and do what he was told, but he did. Watson found himself trusting Holmes without even meaning too. I believe that their trust was solidified during the scene at the café. Holmes takes off running and Watson follows without his walking stick. Holmes taught Watson about himself. Watson loves danger. At that moment Watson completely trusted Holmes. Both Watson and Holmes are bonded by danger. They rely on each other to avoid personal problems and channel their energy into solving crimes.

By the conclusion in “A Study in Pink,” Watson does resolve his trust issues because he learns how to open up to people more specifically to Sherlock Holmes. In the scene where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson walk to the crime scene where Jennifer Wilson’s body was found Watson begins to open up to Holmes by talking about his sister and his time in the army, suggesting he’s placing a trust with Sherlock Holmes. The point where Holmes really earns the trust of Watson was during the scene where they were chasing the cab down. Holmes led the way and Watson without hesitation followed him. The common bond between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is that they are attracted to strange things. Sherlock is attracted to the puzzle of solving a crime, and Dr. Watson is attracted to the action of combat. Dr. Watson relies on Holmes to provide that sense of danger and Watson is there to make sure Sherlock doesn’t do something that is over the top, such as during the time where Holmes almost took a pill that could’ve been poison. But Dr. Watson intercepted by shooting the killer before they could take the pills.

By the end of “A Study in Pink” I believe Watson has begun on a way to fixing his trust issues. It seems that Watson is beginning to trust in Holmes but still has his reservations and has to continuously question Holmes. Watson first started trusting Holmes when he met him at the flat because he trusted in Holmes enough to follow him to the scene of a murder and then lead a pursuit into solving the crime. Though these characters are very different they both are lonely men who are more prone to being alone and they both like the adventure and thrill when in dangerous situations. Holmes relies on Watson for his understanding of emotion, sentiment, and he helps calm Holmes down. Watson depends on Holmes for his unique friendship, Holmes cures Watson of his insecurities (no longer needs a cane), and allows him to get his fill of adventure.

"A Study in Pink" tells the story of two strangers and how they become companions. Watson is a former soldier and Holmes is a highly functioning sociopath. By the end of this television episode Watson has not completely removed his trust issues, but he has put his trust in Holmes. I believe Holmes earned Watson’s trust when Holmes ran after the taxi and Watson followed. If Watson had not decided to trust Holmes, he probably would have not forgotten about the cane. These two characters are excited to live life in the fast lane. Holmes is always getting bored and solving dangerous things appeases him while Watson misses the war and is also appeased by the danger. I believe these characters rely on each other to ease their boredom and be a person to talk to and work ideas off of. I also believe they work together because they understand each other.

At the end of the first episode Watson resolves his trust issues by protecting Sherlock Homes. Watson puts his trust in Sherlock Homes vary sparingly, though there is no specific point in which John Watson puts his trust to Sherlock Homes. It was built up from Sherlock helping Watson get passed his mental problem with his leg. The common bond that Sherlock Homes and John Watson, is that there both thrive in intense situations. Sherlock gets intrigued with exiting murders and John Watson can be his normal self in these situations. This is where both of them help one another. While Sherlock Homes is a genius in his own right, he does not have the brawn to back up his brains. John Watson on the other hand has the brawn, but doesn’t have the brains to solve these complicated crimes.

After watching “A Study In Pink”, Watson doesn’t completely resolve his trust issues. There are many instances where he could’ve got “closer” to other characters but decides to keep his distances away from them, such as when Myocroft asked him to keep watch over Sherlock or when one of the detectives warned to not get too close to Sherlock. However, he does in fact have a great deal of trust with Sherlock Holmes. This completely develops when they chased the cabbie and Watson didn’t hesitate to follow Sherlock, and even went as far as leaving his crutches at the restaurant they were staking out in. Both of these characters have multiple traits in common, like how they both get their own “thrill” in solving a crime. They rely on each other because their talents synergizes with each other. Watson needs Sherlock’s brilliance to solve the crime, while Sherlock needs Watson’s rationality to keep his head straight and get him out of trouble.

I think that Watson resolved his trust issues the moment that Holmes started to crack his past without knowing him personally. I know for a fact that if something like that happened to me, I would not have a choice in if I do trust him or not. I feel like the sudden jump from meeting him and going to moving in so quickly forced Watson to establish a turst. They both share this bond of solving things and seeing things in a different way. Holmes see's things as everything is so interconnected and you can learn everything about a person from their apperience, versus Watson who sees everything as a battlefield and is able to be calm when running around with Holmes. I feel like they rely on each other because everyone likes Watson and he can be the image of Holmes, saying taht Holmes is the brain behind Watson.

Watson has not really resolved his “trust issues” by the conclusion of “A Story in Pink.” Watson, however, does place his trust in Holmes. Watson began to put his trust in Holmes when Holmes had asked him to come along with him to the crime scene. The common bond between the characters is their wanting for mystery and danger. They rely on each other by putting trust into the other to understand their actions and believing what the other is doing is important.

In the conclusion of “A Study in Pink”, it is evident to the audience that Dr. Watson has placed his trust in the hands of Sherlock Holmes. So yes, I do believe that Watson has resolved his “trust issues”; however, only to Holmes. The turning point could be seen when the mystery man asked Watson on whether or not Watson would help him work against Holmes and the final point is when Holmes and Watson were chasing after the supposed killer. The two characters are complete opposites, which I believe contributes to the strength of their relationship. They complete each other in the way that the one is able to compensate for a shortcoming of the other. For example, Dr. Watson is the quiet, collective person who keeps Sherlock Holmes sane, since he could be considered the enthusiastic, maniacal person.

I don’t feel Watson had a trust issue to begin with. The therapist was proven to be an inadequate therapist when Holmes’s brother proved that the therapist did not know the problems associated with Watson after his trip from Afghanistan. The therapist thought Watson’s hand shook because of stress when really Watson needed stress for his hands to stop shaking.

By the end of the episode, Watson does place his trust in Holmes. I feel Watson felt intrigued by Holmes personality. When Holmes explained to Watson how he knew all the information about Watson such as Watson being a veteran and Watson’s phone being a gift, Watson discovered an aspect of Holmes to trust. Watson notices that Holmes attains all of the words he speaks from facts that he notices of a person.

Holmes and Watson both have an interest for interesting things. Watson calls Holmes “brilliant” instead of weird after Holmes amazing analysis of Watson. Even Holmes admits that not many people have the same reaction of Holmes as Watson does. Normally, as Holmes puts it, people tell Holmes to “Piss Off.” Holmes has a unique fascination with all the puzzles in the world while Watson is more interested in Holmes being such a unique human being.

These two, with such polar personalities, enhance the other’s weaknesses. Holmes works better with a partner who does have to always understand what Holmes is after but one who can be there for him when needed. Watson, after coming home from Afghanistan, needed action and stress in his life to accommodate for the loss of adventure Watson faced in Afghanistan. Watson has a personality where he can follow Holmes even though he doesn’t understand everything that Holmes does. Watson is fine with is because by following Holmes, Watson gets the adventure he is seeking.

I do not think that the resolution of Watson’s trust issues can be confirmed after just meeting Holmes. I think it’s too soon to say that Holmes has completely gained Watson’s trust, but Holmes has definitely intrigued Watson and made an important impact on him. For example, if Watson was willing to shoot a man for Holmes, then there must be something significant going on between the two; but like mentioned before, it’s too soon to say that Watson completely trusts Holmes. Watson has the desire to return back to the battlefield and Holmes has the desire to strengthen his logic, which can both be achieved through solving crimes. Watson has a profound knowledge of the medical field, and Holmes has a knack for deep thinking; their traits complement each other.

Most successful films implement great character development and character relationships, even if that is not the main theme of the film. A Study in Pink’s main theme is the serial killer who makes his victims commit suicide by playing a “game”. However, in the midst of this, as Watson and Holmes try to uncover the mystery behind the suicides, a great emphasis is put on the relationship between the two main characters and their development throughout the film. I don’t think Dr. Watson had trust issues, but just issues bonding with people and getting close to them. Dr. Watson had great interest in Holmes for one reason or another, and therefore ended up bonding with him and getting quite “close to him”, even though it was only a really short amount of time that they knew each other. Both Watson and Holmes have a great interest, an addiction perhaps, of being in the metaphorical “war”. Even though both of them are quite individualistic, I believe they still need someone they can consider a “friend”.

Watson is forced, in some ways, to place his trust in Holmes. Though he does not originally trust Sherlock because he is a total stranger, Watson quickly learns to work with him. It would mean a lot for Sherlock, who obviously is very involved with his work, to ask Watson to come with him, and likewise Watson, in going with Holmes, is becoming more open, even refusing to give away Sherlock’s secrets. Though Watson has some work in getting used to Sherlock, its obvious there is a connection between them. Near the end, when Sherlock is in the hands of the Cabbie, Watson shoots the cabbie, sealing his connection with Holmes.

P.S. I was gone Thursday, so this is a little rough.

Watson has not really resolved his “trust issues” by the conclusion of “A Story in Pink.” Watson, however, does place his trust in Holmes. Watson began to put his trust in Holmes when Holmes had asked him to come along with him to the crime scene. The common bond between the characters is their wanting for mystery and danger. They rely on each other by putting trust into the other to understand their actions and believing what the other is doing is important. Watson keeps Holmes more intuned to the normal everyday thoughts, while Holmes is energetic and passionate for solving the crimes.

Yes, Watson has already placed his trust in Holmes by the ending of “A Study in Pink”. Holmes earned Watson’s trust when he proved to Watson that there is nothing wrong with Watson’s leg and that the only reason why Watson limped was because of mental effect from the war. Both Watson and Holmes are very anti-social, they tend to keep to themselves. Holmes is an extremely eccentric person and Watson has a very modest personality, so they make up for each other’s shortcomings.
