Re: Favourite scenes (photos/gifs)

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Favourite scenes (photos/gifs)
Side note: I find Sherlock's words on suicide in this scene some of the most profound and moving I have ever heard.

Same here. I just love Steven's writing.

Re: Favourite scenes (photos/gifs)
That whole scene is simply wonderful. I mean, we're back to Baker Street with the three of them (well, more or less the three of them...) talking. It's a bit as if we're revisiting that scene in HLV, but this time it's so, so different. This time it's right. It's perfect.

John can´t stand it that a nice lady had been eating chips with Sherlock, obviously....

Re: Favourite scenes (photos/gifs)
Thanks for sharing all those beautiful gifs. It makes the wait less painful 
Side note: I find Sherlock's words on suicide in this scene some of the most profound and moving I have ever heard.
Yes! Those lines are simple and yet profound and beautiful. This has really touched me, above all as my husband committed suicide and I still struggle to accept it, even more than four years later. Sherlock is right. He took his own life away from me and our son and we are the ones missing it. That is very well put...
I wonder if Sherlock has always thought that way about suicide, or if he saw it that way once he realised how much his fake suicide had affected John...

Re: Favourite scenes (photos/gifs)
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."
Ah, this scene! And he IS that hottttt!!!
Just after this comes a most precious moment that I LOVE, which hasn't been mentioned: (Sherlock has flashed to an image of John walking with his cane). He turns to the wall and grimaces as though he's about to cry... but is interrupted by Mrs. Hudson.
Can you catch his pained expression for me??? I don't know how to make a gif-thingy.

I found those words very moving too, and very true. The person is no longer there to deal with it, but the people around them are left with it. I'm sorry for your loss, Punch Me.
