I do think the thirty+ men friends is more obvious this season than any other, which is why we are thinking of them as thirteen year old, LOL, because prior to this season they were fragile and new to feelings. 

Men together are down right mean and evil to one another.  Their humour is way darker than girls, at least all the men I know.  The tricks they play on each other we reserve for enemies.  LOL  I think we have seen more of that this season - like the laughing at John on the train, the darker humour thats been there since the beginning (just shot a bad taxi driver).  It just seems more prevalant during this season than the previous ones.....at least to me.

He's his soulmate, the only person that gets him, knows how to handle him, and completes him.  And this is why I also see in Sherlock a degree of attraction to John - not in a sexual way, but as the fascinated, infatuated feeling that comes with knowing that the person can give us something we need to live.

Yes!  I think he is fascinated.  He seems equally fascinated with John's feelings.  He seems totally shocked at himself for liking someone with 'goldfish tendencies', someone with feelings.  He just looks at John sometimes as if to say, how do you do that??  How do you get in here and make me care?? 

I also love Sherlocks reactions when John backs him with Mycroft.  Like the 'that would embarass both of us' - it's just pure glee.  I think partly becuase it re-inforces John is my friend and not yours.

It looks like it's only just dawned on her that John was drawn to both of them.  And if he was drawn to her enough to fall in love and marry her, then exactly how deeply was he drawn to Sherlock.  She sort of looks resigned after that.  Like she's just realised that John may be in love with Sherlock, and now she has fallen from grace, Sherlock now has the upper hand.

Just looks like there is a lot more in those few seconds - it also looks like John is totally unaware of the deductions Sherlock and Mary are making.  This is most likely because it's just in my head.  LOL

I think the fact that everybody praised Mary for at the beginning - her being so open and encouraging about their relationship, trying to push them together and not separate them - like John's other girlfriends had wanted to do - was essentially because she was working hard at not putting herself in a position of antagonism towards Sherlock, exactly because she knew how important he was to John, and essentially because she sort of 'replaced'him, effectively, and she doesn't want to risk John going back on his decision.

As in, now that Sherlock's back you won't need me anymore to make your life full.

She was lucky in this that Sherlock had screwed up so badly that John was scared to get close to him again quickly.

But she knew very well that in order to keep John with her she couldn't possibly look like she was trying to distance him from Sherlock; by showing her support towards their friendship she made sure she kept her prominent role in John's life, and made sure that John didn't start overlooking her in favour of Sherlock (like he'd always done previously in his life).
 

Thing that I wonder abo

Wtih regards to the actual show.  I think the current status quo between them satisfies us all.  The moments of love can be interpreted by most parties.  Those who like the BFF can read as aired, johnlockers can read more into it (some scenes easier than others) and those who want Sherlock to high functioning sociopath can read manipulation into it.  Bearing in mind that some people are having trouble with a slightly more 'feely' Sherlock, I can't see them ever creating a relationship more than it is and I'm fine with that.  I like that everyone gets something from it. 

It's not just thier relationship that keeps me tuning in afterall.  Its the slickness of the show, the deep characters and the cases as well.  On a personal level I like to see Sherlock showing humanity, and he always looks so vulnerable when he does it that you (well I) can see the reason why it doesn't come easy to him.  I also like to see John being appreciated.  He's a very special man, and I like when that gets noticed.

BAMF!John Watson: "Yeah, it's a sprain. I'm a doctor, I know how to sprain people."

I like the line just before it.
"It's squishy, should it be squishy"

Just the way he says it, and the randomness of the terminology, makes me bark a shocked laugh every time, I just can't help it.

Have we had this one yet?

Any other requests?

Perfect choice of wording!!  Love it!

Btw just thinking, if Lady Elisabeth Smallwood wouldn't have contacted Sherlock (and non of the others in that time). What would have happened?
Mary would have shot CAM. Neither Sherlock or John would have known that.
Mary wouldn't have shot Sherlock, Sherlock wouldn't have shot CAM. Everything would be fine...

She's had plenty of time to do that, why choose that night?  I think both Mary and Sherlock recieved the planted intel, and I think CAM put it there.  Janine was knocked out between letting Sherlock in and Sherlock arriving in the lift.  So not only did Mary choose the same night, but the same time.  A night that Sherlock had been told CAM would be out to dinner, and yet Mary had been told he would be in and vulnreable.

I think CAM needed to push the meeting.  Afterall, he can't blackmail Sherlock about Mary, if Sherlock doesn't actually know about Mary can he??  He needs the reveal so he can make his move.  He is a genius strategist, and I think he had everything worked out.  Probably had another security team 'waiting in the wings' in case Sherlock failed to show, he was just stalling for time when Sherlock arrived.

The one thing I don't get is why John didn't tell his wife where he was going??  Or maybe THAT was the catalyst for Mary to visit CAM, but then why ask Sherlock if John was with him??  Seems weird that John didn't say "Oh, met this right prick today at Sherlocks called CAM, pee'd in the fire!!  Anyway, I'm off out tonight to meet Sherlock at this building" (the one that Mary know's CAM is at).

Unless she didn't think Sherlock could use the lift??  After all she supposedly didn't know about Janine at that point but again, can believe John's first words when he walked in thier flat were not "Sherlocks got a girlfriend!!  An actual Girlfriend.  She breathes, she walks, she smiles!!"  LOL

ahh, well, just the one more before bed......Angel Sherlock
