John's outfit in the last takes may be forced by the way they chose to shoot them. The scene's made with the same camera and in one take, and the actors keep moving around the flat as the camera goes round. Then I think they chose several layers of clothes (coat, cardigan, shirt) for John to be able to keep taking them off gradually as the scene evolves, so the viewers can think events happen in different days/hours...

But I agree this is very cute and I positively think that John and Rosie moved to 221B.

Well, of course John is his "conductor of light" but I think there is more to it. Because in the same episode we saw Sherlock waving away a whole room full of women by saying "not you", then he sent his inner Mycroft away with the same words, coming to the conclusion that the only who mattered was John. Yes, he helps Sherlock by saving lives, yes, he helps by just listening and asking the right question, but in the context of the whole episode I would say this is about John, the man he has just lost to a woman. The man who matters most to him. 

The Spanish translation you quoted would for the THOB quote about the "conductor of light", but in this case it is not correct. 

Thank you for your awesome explanation, SusiGo. That's more or less what I thought. Your meaning suits the sentence way more than the translation we got.  It's very Johnlock, actually.

Well, maybe John does need that reassurement from Mary. She told him: "Get the hell on with it". But that was only inside John's mind. Then we get her recorded words, which are real words: go, John, stop mourning and live your life, because I know who you really are. Mary ships Johnlock. 

Hahaha, Go for the free translations, Russian people, haha.

I don't really know what 'The final problem' means. The final problem may be how to realise that caring isn't always a disadvantage.

She is a great actress and a good woman.

Wow, I love your collection, Punch me in the face! 

Wow, I'm quite surprised by this. I never came across these videos... To be honest, I don't see anything wrong in Martin's reaction at The Hobbit shooting. I think he's talking and goes on with what he's saying, but doesn't seem pissed at Benedict's appearance.

I read somewhere that, in Literature, when you create a character and write it, it doesn't belong to you anymore. The character's first actions trigger the next ones, and the writer no longer can do whatever he wishes for but what it's true to the character. Miguel de Unamuno (Spanish early 20th century writer) wrote a very interesting book on the matter ('Niebla', translated 'Mist' into English). His main character, Augusto Pérez, lives a non-sense life and decides to commit suicide. Then the author inserts himself in the novel as a character to chat to Augusto, and tells him that he can't kill himself, as he is just a fictional being and has to obbey the writer's plan. But Augusto tells him that he's no longer his character, that a suicide will fit his personality perfectly and the author can't go for a happy ending, because it wouldn't be serious or true.

I don't want to persuade anyone to believe in Johnlock. My point is just that, intended or not, the authors created here two characters with strong personalities that have been completed by the audience (as it is suggested as well in books like 'The Neverending story', where the real saviour of Fantastica isn't the author, nor the characters, but Bastian, the reader). And some audiencies completed them as gay because it really isn't a wild approach to the matter. Just that.

Lis, I'm sure John told Sherlock after Eurus revealed herself.   Why wouldn't he?  He believed in the girl in the bus, and Sherlock believed in "Faith" - I don't think there was any need for John to feel bad about being fooled.

Oh yeah I don't doubt that John would have told Sherlock or that he should have felt the need to hide or be ashamed of it, it's just we didn't see it on screen and I wondered how the conversation would go. "Oh by the way the woman I flirted with was your sister...I don't txt her anymore..." 

Haha, that's funny.

Moriarty's lines are always ambiguous. I'll go for the sexual implications as well in TFP. He was very funny, he really knows how to make everybody uncomfortable.
