Ooooh it's such a pity! I guess I will have to try NT Archives if I made it for Hamlet next year. Fingers crossed!

Greetings from Greece! I heard that BC used to visit us for holidays, maybe I ll be lucky and see him in Athens now that summer is coming.  Or else next year London for Hamlet!Great forum

Very touching movie. It puts you into many thoughts about the way we live our lives.

I think it's fairly true to say Sherlock's only ever been distracted(in gender times) by females. He also chose to prerend to have a girlfriend, not a boyfriend.
He has kissed 4(I think) females in the show.

Yes, but apart from the (fake) Janine kiss they were all platonic kisses. Really cute ones though.

One thing I currently have a problem with is people implying that Sherlock and John are openly in love with each other already and aware of it. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a cute idea that they might fall in love at some point in the future, but that it's just a possibility at the moment that only exists subconsciously. Lately, especially on tumblr of course, I've seen many people practically trying to force everyone else to believe that S3 is some kind of musical-worthy unrequited love plot in which Sherlock is openly pining for John and jealous because of John's relationship with Mary. For example, that in the "best man" scene Sherlock didn't fall silent because he was overwhelmed, but because he was so disappointed that he had to be the best friend instead of the boyfriend. And so forth. Well, you can possibly view it that way but I have to say I find it awful. It would ruin some of the best moments for me and turn the show into something I really don't like.

JESUS! Where are all these coming from? Oh God I will shoot myself. S mercy plzzz. Its unlikely a tv show like this will turn up a gay romance (no offence). I cant understand why many people dont even think (not adapt) the obvious but trying to find the hidden meaning behind words. John likes women clearly, he had many of them. Irene likes both genders, prefers women. Serlock plays his mind game with women, nowhere, not once we saw the opposite. How would he like Mary if he wanted John for himself for example? This talk will never end 

If S would let himself be attracted by a person, that would be a female one. All the times he is kind of distracted by a person is a woman. He loves John as a friend, his best and only. Its another matter that he admires most the mental qualities, of course that goes for all. All I understand is that he doesnt want to trouble himself with love and romance cause he will be distracted.

I thought the theory he told Anderson was the real one.

 
I believe the same thing. I dont think that the production will bother with this anymore as I dont think that we ll see moriarty again.

Unless, of course, Moriarty had an identical twin; I do wonder whether the case involving the woman married to identical triplets was a small hint in this direction...
 

 
This could be an explanation regarding moriarty video at the end of season 3. I remember SH telling that it took him 2 year to get rid of M network, so I cant see how M can still be alive, for the same reason having a twin that SH or Mycroft isnt aware is something hard to believe but that belongs to another thread..

I think if you look closely at his face during the conversation with John and Mary and his move towards Janine before he realises she is dancing with someone else, you can see that there is more. No heartbreak, that would be saying far too much, but remember him telling Janine how much he loved to dance. He prepared for a waltz with her and did not get the opportunity. And he felt that he did not belong. 

I agree. He was looking for Janine and even almost took a step into her direction. And when he realised that she was dancing with this other guy, there is a very particular expression on his face for just a second, as if he were thinking "Ah, okay, fine. So everything back to normal now." And then everything slowly goes back to 'normal' again.
But the way in which he is shown in the middle of that dancing crowd is very telling, in my opinion. I can practically feel the loneliness, and even if it doesn't come as a real surprise to Sherlock... he still looks lonely there for a moment.
 

 
Couldnt agree more..

Well its pretty obvious to me.. After the second time I ve watched the episode I think the story he told Anderson is the true one. First its not like Sherlock making jokes or fool somebody like this' even if its Anderson , correct? Then when they are with Mary and Sherlock starts telling the story to John says exactly the same thing told Anderson (his brother knew it, molly, the homeless network etc) it fits perfect. We know  he was to tell the truth to John, so that must be the truth to our question. Also we have the talk with molly at the hospital, she knew, she helped him throwing the body so John could see it, she wasnt followed from a sniper. And it fits great as he says that everything was planned as we see snap shots from the time mycroft held moriarty and how they were expecting Moriarty to run after  Sherlock., so they were prepared. Mystery solved in that episode for me.
