I can see why...

Great gifs, everyone! I think I can say that I agree with pretty much all of these as my favourite moments. Hearing Sherlock's voice break with "I don't want to die," was so heartbreaking, and like someone else said, the hug scene was both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for all of those! Mycroft's face! And how Mrs. Hudson is usually mild/sweet/even bordering on 'oh dear'/nervous, but so utterly BAMF when it calls for. And Benedict swinging Sherlock's energy and manic emotion all over the place made my jaw drop... that "I'm so high I'm climbing the walls" scene was crazy... let's hear it for our amazing effects/art department...

(and gahh... Arwel... no, I didn't!).

The 'walking on the walls' was incredible!! Literally taking a metaphor and making it real on screen!

The look of hatred:

Jealous?

Funny that they are both after the same woman.....

I don't think Sherlock was after her that away and anyway she was different, when John fancied her!

High AF Sherlock should NOT be this hot.

Edited to add: Someone on tumblr refered to this as the "midnight blue shirt of F**K me now."

haha, honestly when I saw that scene I knew people would (me included) drool over that.

And in my opinion "midnight blue shirt of F**K me now" is even better than "purple shirt of sex" *LOL*

He is ridiculously sexy here.

So much beauty and heartbreak in this episode. Thank you all for the gifs and pics!

I'm not sure I understand this part. What's Sherlock telling John, that he should relax a little, stop being the soldier, show his emotions?

ewige · January 10, 2017 10:07 pm

Well, John thinks Sherlock sets too high a standard for himself but Sherlock actually thinks that John is a much, much more deserving of a pedestal. And it's ok to leave that high place and be normal a little, too. It's ok to be week, even for a soldier. It's ok to see ghosts, even for a doctor.

Thanks, ewige. Very beautifully explained. That's what I got, as well.

Yes. That even though it has seemed that Sherlock tries to put himself above the human, according to John, but Sherlock sees John as "more," has been raised above humanity by Sherlock. But ewige said it better.
In this moment, there is a recognition that both have been thinking about the other in a similar way, but both are human and that's not a bad thing and that's how they should be seen, as easy as it is to raise somebody as something above that.

Tell the truth. If someone showed you this and you had no context and never heard of Sherlock, you would think he was about to rip her clothes off and slam her up against the wall.

Sorry, I'll go back to the shallow end of the pool now and leave you alone.

I've been thinking about the same since you posted the gif!
The look he gives her is very, uhm, intense... if not to say ravenous!
Funny how Eurus tells John in the end that she spent a night with Sherlock Which is technically correct, but still, Sherlock called it "an evening".
