But in real life, men do notice the way other men look and have opinions on it ... maybe some more than others.  And his cheekbones are very noticeable and part of his look!  (I wouldn't find it "telling" if my boyfriend commented on them).

I don't think he had a good view of his arse through his coat, or yes, that might have been mentioned! 

And a season or so later, still seems remarkably disinterested in it.

Thanks, Vhanja!  And as I mentioned before, these are just my personal opinions on what these scenes are about.  I'm sure other people will have different opinions, and I do think it's very difficult to be certain.   So I'm looking at these scenes as part of a whole.

I think with John's comment (above) it's about seeing it in context, as well.   Does John act as if he's flirting and has been rebuffed?  Does Sherlock act as if he intereprets it that way?  Personally, I don't think so.

Yes, gallows humour.

• Why was Sherlock’s first thought 'John’ when Moriarty said that the people he cares about will die?
John is the person he is closest to.  Moriarty actually says “your friends will die if you don’t”, so it seems obvious to me that the first person he mentions is his best friend.  I also think he is checking to make sure he has the right people.  Moriarty says that it’s “everyone” until Sherlock has named John, Mrs Hudson and Lestrade, and then Moriarty admits that there are three targets.   

• Why did Sherlock cry on the roof?
He wants to make it look like a suicide, but I think he’s also drawing on genuine emotion which has been building up throughout the episode.  

• Why was Sherlock’s 'last’ words 'goodbye, John’?
I don’t understand this question - what else would he say?  He is trying to make it look like a suicide.  And, of course, he's actually genuinely saying goodbye to John - he won't see him for a long, long time.

• Why did John look so heartbroken?
Again, I don’t understand.  Sherlock kills himself in front of him.  He looks heartbroken because he IS heartbroken, surely? 

• Why did John’s therapist say 'the things you meant to say… But never did. Say them now’?
She’s talking about John expressing his feelings for Sherlock, I think.  The things he didn’t say when Sherlock was alive.   

• Why did John refuse?
I don’t know, but I don’t think he feels able to say them to another person.  He needs to be alone, talking to Sherlock’s grave.

• What were the things he never said?
What he says at the grave, more or less. 

• Why did John say at Sherlock’s grave 'one more miracle, Sherlock, for me. Don’t… Be… Dead’?
There’s a glimmer of wild hope that Sherlock really did pull off an amazing trick - he so much wants him to be alive.  

• Why did John mourn Sherlock more like a lover than a friend?
I don’t think he does.  Sherlock was never his lover.  He was a friend whom he loved deeply, who saved him, who meant the world to him.

• Why did Sherlock suggest that he jump out of a cake (which is an action which is usually sexualised)?
He thought it would be fun to surprise John in an amusing way, and thought John would be delighted.  It doesn’t really dawn on him how much pain John must have gone through.  He’s clearly not going to do anything sexual! (And, in fact, he doesn’t!)

• Why did Sherlock interrupt John’s proposal to 'Mary’?
He’s self-centred and oblivious.  He approaches John in his disguise (a reference to canon), and it doesn’t even seem to dawn on him that John isn’t dining alone.  As far as Sherlock was concerned, he could just pick up where he left off with John, I think.

• Why did John not whisper when proposing to 'Mary’, like he normally does when he is emotional?
He’s a little bit awkward and nervous about asking the question. And these are not words said in the heat of the moment, but a planned proposal.  

• Why did John say 'one word, that’s all I would have needed. One word to let me know that you were alive’?
He is angry that Sherlock apparently let him suffer for two years.

• What did he need the one word for?
If he’d known Sherlock was alive he’d have missed him, but wouldn’t have grieved in the same way.

• Why did Sherlock say 'you have missed this… Admit it… just the two of us against the rest of the world’ right in front of 'Mary’?
Because it’s true - Sherlock hits on a key point of their relationship and John’s attraction to him.   It’s not a secret from Mary.  John has missed it, and craves it.  

• Why did Sherlock look so hurt as he watched John and 'Mary’ drive away?
Because he’d hoped for a happy reconciliation, and instead found an angry John who let him know how deeply he’d been hurt.

Thanks!  I'm still a bit confused with the questions, as I don't always see the Johnlock reference.  I don't really think any of the above have anything to do with Johnlock.   For instance, I don't think Sherlock knows that John is going to propose so tries to stop that happening so that he can be in a romantic relationship with John.  

Yeah, me neither. From some of these questions, I get the impression that Sherlock and John can't show any kind of regard or warmth towards each other unless it's romantic.

Who came up with these questions that Liberty is doing so well answering? They're definitely loaded questions on the Johnlock side. I'm sure you could think of some equally loaded non-Johnlock questions if you were arguing for the other side...or questions for any other ship.

To paraphrase the master, people twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

As ever, Mr Holmes is always right!
