This isn't a man you can rationalise or reason with so he's much scarier than the bitter old dude who will, ultimately, die of natural causes long before someone of Sherlock's current age.
I definitely like that part of the character - like I said, I think that much of it was a controlled performance, that he was enjoying the showmanship of it. I've seen a lot of people commenting negatively about his bizarre vocal choices, but I quite enjoyed it, thought it played well to the impression he was trying to give; when he let the mask slip and showed real anger the loss of control was scarier. Er... if that made any sense. XD
