I also like how the Lewis-Hathaway relationship replicates the Morse-Lewis one, only this time the over-educated misanthrope is the junior partner. It makes you believe that this dynamic stretches back and back, even unto the Middle Ages, where the medieval equivalent of a grumpy grammar school boy and a put-upon working class boy are forever together in the green wood, fighting crime.
A STORY ETERNALLY RETOLD. It could be like Highlander! There can be only one over-educated misanthrope at a time! Did the junior partner cut off Morse's head?
