Right! I'M LOVING IT!

I think HLV is visually one of the most interesting episodes of the whole show. Not as inventive as ASIP was and not as unusual as the explanation scene in SIB, but fully of stunning shots.

And the scene when John and Sherlock sit down and Mary has to take the seat of the client? Goosebumbs!

Me, too. I get goosebumbs just thinking about that.

Now I feel emotionally retarded. Is it a bad thing that I don't remember whether I cried at the end of TRF? I know that it was intense, and I probably had a knot in my stomach, but there was none of the "OMG, I couldn't stop crying!" for me. But, well, I guess every person is different, and perhaps that's not even such a bad thing. I don't think it makes me less of a fan.

Of course not. I barely ever cry in front of the TV, usually only when under high emotional stress from real life. Hence I have never cried because of TRF or any other Sherlock episode.

But TSO3 for example left me sad for days, because of how lonesome I thought Sherlock must have felt.

The ammount of tears shed is not an indicator of how much a fan you are.

I didn't cry with hubby next to me. I don't know if the reason was hubby or the general overwhelming feeling of "wtf!??"
I cried like a waterfall when I watched HLV again alone. 

Oh, and taking a look at the first post I saw on tumblr right now. I love the sky when the night falls at Appledore. Makes the whole atmosphere even more intense - just like the wonderful sky at the airfield in SIB.

Funnily enough, I'm actually a real crybaby when it comes to emotional things on TV or in the movies. Which is usually not a quality indicator, because I start tearing up at the corniest scene in the worst kitsch movie. But what's really strange sometimes is that I don't cry easily during shows that I'm very invested in. How weird is that? I have given up trying to explain it. But I will admit that I got a little teary-eyed in TSoT during Sherlock's "ode to John" scene.
