We all know this but just a little reminder on a cold Monday morning:

Can´t he? Why is he looking at Sherlock so guiltily in the second pic?
I suspect he knows everything. But is not bold enough to act on it.

He probably thought he could have both Mary and Sherlock at the same time and that their status quo really won´t change. But now that the news about pregnancy are out of the bag, he realised what a fool he´s been. Of course, everything would change. His and Sherlock´s ways would part now. And he cannot just leave pregnant Mary like that. He made it for himself - kicked Sherlock out of his life with his choice.

I believe with all my heart that there is no way John would've hooked up with Mary if Sherlock had been alive.

When Sherlock turned out to be "Not Dead" John became wrapped up in his anger and tried to hold Sherlock at arms length.  He also felt a seriousl loyalty to Mary at that point because John is nothing if not loyal.  I think he just didn't know how to get out of it with Mary so he convinced himself that everything would be ok.

Not strictly Johnlock but a nice observation. I am sure you will understand me.

This is exactly why I have that pic of him in my signature. There was a wonderful meta about it (that unfortunately is no longer online), saying that this is the moment of John finally understanding it.

Is is not the knife or dagger Sherlock uses to pin down his mail? I think it was always there and is Canon. But I may be mistaken. 

True. I am considering to open a new thread for metas - use of colours, camera angles, mirror scenes, parallel characters, etc. if I find the time. Anyone interested?

Yes, it is a same knife nad yes, it´s canonical.
And during the confrontation at Baker Street, Mary hovers very near that knife all the time.
And yes, the camera angle makes it look like the knife is ticking out of Sherlock´s back...
Quite interesting...
 

Why, oh, why did you do that?
