I'm also on the Greg/Molly train. I think they'd be good for each other 

As for Johnlock...I do ship it very much! I don't know if it will ever happen, but it seems more likely after Series 3. Unfortunately, that would mean getting rid of Mary and I like her, so it's a dilemma for me. But I would be very happy if it happened!!

You people are filthy. I love it!

I have a theory about why Sherlock tends to kind of latch on to his friends. Not just John, but also Greg, Molly and Mrs Hudson (and now Mary). 

Think back to The Blind Banker, and their meeting with Sebastian. He says that everyone hated it when Sherlock would make deductions about them, and Sherlock looks quite sad at that, poor thing. But in his group of friends, they've always accepted him as he is right from the start. They never treat him as a freak, or anything "not normal". As far as I can see, they treat him like a normal person and to be honest, I think Sherlock actually likes that. Yes, he likes showing off now and then (but if I had his intellect, I would too) but I think he likes that he doesn't have to impress them or pretend when he's with them.

Going back to an earlier post I made in this thread about Sherlock's flaws, John's not the only one who tells him off when he starts being irritating. Molly slaps him, Greg has been known to tell him off. And they get away with it because I think that deep down, Sherlock appreciates their honesty towards him. And that's why he trusts them.

I liked the happy family feeling I got at the end of TEH, with the scene in the flat. And I think Sherlock understands now that he has a good circle of friends who love and care about him, but aren't afraid to tell him what they think. And he has changed a lot by the end of Series 3, which has a lot to do with their influence over him. He's becoming a better person thanks to them. And he's learning to love other people

And you know what? I can only see this developing further as the series goes on. I can't wait to see where Moftiss go with this particular aspect of the show. 

*grabby hands* We wants it, precious! We wants it now!

Then I'm calling it right now: the Victorian parts will be in sepia tones!

Hihihi, priceless!

I completely agree, Sherlock

I love the fact that even though Sherlock's flaws and problems piss John off now and then, he nevertheless accepts Sherlock for who he is. I'll say this for John; he never really turns his back on Sherlock even when he's infuriating. He even tells Sherlock that he could have called and talked if he was near drugs again. In Scandal, John even cancelled his date to stay with Sherlock after he was drugged by Irene (remember, one of Sherlock's deductions about John in Irene's house was that he had a date that night).

I imagine that if some people found out that their best friend had drug problems they might turn their back, but John never does. He's always known who Sherlock is and that he has his problems. Ship them or not, they have a beautiful friendship when you think about it

Beautiful couple

Here's something I've been wondering about. I'm guessing that by Molly's reaction to Sherlock in HLV, he was definitely on drugs and not just faking. Now, I know that Sherlock wanted Magnussen to get wind of it and print it, but...Magnussen says himself that he doesn't have to prove anything, only print it. So wouldn't it have been enough for Sherlock merely to be seen in the drug den? Why go back on the drugs when simply being seen there might have been enough?
