Have no fear, I'm still Johnlocking away over here - even though my heart was a bit broken that everyone else in TEH got hugs and kisses and John mostly got pranked. Oh well, as someone else said, "It's a guy thing".  With some guys, the deeper your emotions for someone, the harder it is to express them, so you hide them behind insults, jokes and teasing.  I was pretty upset with Sherlock for tormenting John on the train and then laughing his ass off about it.  But I did start to forgive him a bit when I heard him say, "But you said such sweet things. I love it that you cared....".  It's a crumb, but I'll take it. 

 
I think, you mentioned a very good point! I am brooding again and again about the train scene which made me mad at first, but maybe this extreme situation was indeed the only way they could somehow show their emotions towards another, just like you said.

And that tone he said it.....

 
Yes, I liked the tone.  It still had a tiny bit of a teasing quality to it but it was soft and gentle. Might be the best we can expect from darling Sherlock....

Guys... I know that you are not being completely serious but as far as the reactions are going... acknowledging that she's a lovely woman but wishing you could hate her for interfering? Even that is extremly uncool. Looking forward to hating someone is just uncool. I had to say that.
I am not referring to a certain comment here but that is just what I have gotten so far from most of the people.

I actually think she's too easy to love. I wish she was more interesting. Well, I guess they are going to build up her character soon...

I love Mary even if I find her incrediblely dull and inintersting in the books (I have the feeling that ACD didn't know what to with her!)....I will see at the end of the season

I must be a bad person... My only defense is that I hate it when nice characters die,and really poor John has been through enough.  I would be far more Ok with her dying at some stage if I hated her.
If I am being truly honest, I had this desperate fantasy that Mary would be a scheming cow, break John's heart and run off with someone else, leaving John with nothing else to do but knock on that black Baker st door...

Mary dying will push him and Sherlock closer together anyway.

 
Don't want her to die now. She's too nice, damn it.

As a life long Star Trek fan I have no doubt that Mary is wearing a red shirt.

I love Mary and I'm a Johnlock shipper.  I think people forget that she is helping to push John and Sherlock back together. What more do people want? She is a nice, charming woman with a history I hope we discover throughout series 3 or maybe 4? I know she dies in canon, but that doesn't mean her death is near. Also, people should remember if Mary dies, John will be broken and people wish that? 

No, she isn't killing Johnlock. She actually helped in reviving it. 

If it weren't canon, I'd be hoping that she was around indefinitely. I think she is an interesting character. Up until Mary, John and to a certain extent Mycroft, have been the only people who see Sherlock as being a valuable human beyond his powers of deduction. Even Lestrade to a degree only tolerates him for his usefulness. Mary "likes him" before the evening is out, even though he's hurt John and she's probably the only person who is aware of how deep that hurt goes.

How can you not find a personality interesting who is able to see through all that and decide that Sherlock is likable?

I think most girlfriends faced with the return of their boyfriend's dead best friend would either run for the hills or side with the boyfriend against the best friend. She doesn't do either of those things; if anything she seems to side with Sherlock that John is overreacting.

She's very self-confident, very sure of who she is, and very comfortable with her relationship with John.

I think she's fascinating.
