Thanks a lot, Davina, kittykat and Russell. Now I think what really startled me is the tone. I mean, John answers Sherlock's first two questions quietly and calmly, and suddenly a very keen "OH GOD YES!" That made me wander "did I miss something?" 

I am not sure if I get it right--In daily conversation, "OH GOD YES!" is usually used to show lust (for food or sex), right? Or I just watch too many sitcoms?

And the way John says it. It's kind of sexy...as if he is sexually aroused or something, isn't it? Do I feel it right? Or I just misinterpreted it due to the charming British accent?

Thank you, Michele. Then I want to ask a further question. Is it normal for John to be that enthusiastic? I mean, doesn't John's response sound a little bit bloodthirsty or something?

Again, English is not my mother tongue. And maybe that's why the lines in Sherlock fascinate me so much. 

Today I want to ask a SERIOUS question about John's famous line: "Oh God, yes!"...Is that a normal response in that context? If I want to use this sentence, when is the appropriate timing?

And please, please answer the question without shipping as possible as you can. Thank you. I want to learn proper English here, seriously. Please.

Parade-resting John sounds stiff enough to be twiddled by Sherlock...Ben.

I have read the complete canon in Chinese when in junior high...and forgot most of it. 
Now, after watching Sherlock, I am reading the oringinal version...now in the middle of "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". 

(BTW, thumbs down to Twilight, too.)

I just want to thank the Internet wholeheartedly! I simply feel soooo lucky to be able to watch the show way back here in Taiwan! And Ben is just sooooo gorgeous!

But...I still kind of worry about the "BOW" thing....It feels like an ending. (Which I totally do not want to happen!)

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you order Egg Benedict for brunch everyday.

(And I just found out that National Eggs Benedict Day is on April 16.)

Watching and being obsessive about Sherlock really make me feel 20 years younger!

Thanks. I know it is a joke. That's why Martin is soooo adorable. 

I just want to make sure that when people say "That's a bit rude," usually means "That's a bit rude of you." (According to sj4iy)

Do I get it right?

Sorry, I'm not sure if it is okay to post the question here. I got a question when I read this article:  How Tim from The Office found real love: Amanda Abbington on life with Martin Freeman. 

Because English is not my mother tongue, I don't quite get the meaning of what Martin said, "You left and I wasn't done flirting with you. That's a bit rude."

Who's rude? Martin himself? Or he jokingly accused Amanda of leaving early?

I lost count, too.

Usually, I play Sherlock's DVDs randomly while getting dressed, tying hair, checking schedules, checking emails, keeping diaries, reading, translating, cleaning...basically anything I can do in front of my laptop.

Actually, I managed to get the mp3 files of the six episodes and transfered them to my smartphone. So I can listen to Sherlock while waiting for buses, taking MRT, jogging, roaming...basically anything I can do safely without proper hearing.
