Which is a mirror of John's in Kitty's flat when faced with Rich Brook.

Moriarty is playing with your mind too. Can't you SEE what's going on!?!

I love that bit, Sherlock is so afraid that he's losing his friend's trust and all that fear turns to anger, scary...

too many to pick from. But I love some of the John Moments. I loved that scene in the blind banker, where he tells Sherlock, "that shop. Over there." And Sherlock looks at him, flabbergasted.

Go, John!

Rather unobtrusively:
Though being handcuffed John's holding Sherlock's sleeve.
How cute is this?

So many.
For starters: "Frankly, a bloody awful cabbie" and Sherlock's reaction; and Sherlock's laugh on the roof (Nobody could be that clever/ You could/ laugh)

Yes, and of course John's amazing response "no one could fake being such an annoying dick all the time"

Molly Hooper · June 30, 2012 10:14 pm

Yeah, that line sort of softens the situation. that's what I like about Sherlock, whenever you think it's all getting too much, someone comes along and delivers a brilliant line like that!

Different moments keep coming up in my memory. My most re-watched moments are often very short and have to do with a twitch of a brow or with impeccable timing, and last a second or two.
For example- in "A Study in Pink" , in a cab, when Sherlock tells John "The police don't consult amateurs" and then he looks away. John starts "That... " and you see Sherlock's nose twitch. Well, that twitch is one of my favorite moments, as it says tons- Sherlock is expecting to be told off. Then- "... was amazing"- followed by half- disbelieving- half - reassessing look towards John.

I think one moment I adore is after Sherlock's painful deduction in the Christmas scene, and then he apologises to Molly and kisses her cheek and then his text alert tone goes off. Molly's face at that moment is just adorable. She's like "OMG that wasn't me!!!!"

Molly Hooper · July 1, 2012 7:43 am

And then Sherlock's like 'Sorry, THAT WAS ME!'

The looks of Lestrade and John, priceless!

Irene Adler · July 1, 2012 9:26 am

Another one I love is, in TGG, when Sherlock finally answers "the Van Buren supernova" and they are all holding their breath waiting for the kid to say something. The he says "is somebody there?" and Sherlock sighs in relief. His expression is priceless, then.

Davina · July 1, 2012 11:52 am

The delivery of the line 'But they're very keen' from Lestrade (Rupert Graves) during the drugs bust in ASiP...priceless!

And I'm sure you've all noticed the look on John's face when Sherlock apologizes to Molly. Sherlock? Apologizing?

Davina · July 1, 2012 2:42 pm

Here we would say John is 'gobsmacked'.

Fetchinketch · July 1, 2012 6:10 pm

Early in the Buckingham Palace scene, when John has just arrived and they are both trying desperately to keep a straight face. Until they make eye contact and both burst into giggles. So cute!

Davina · July 1, 2012 6:58 pm

I also love the scene when they are walking side-by-side and the lights go off bit-by-bit as they walk away. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

Shame on me for not remembering which episode this is in but...

I really like the moment when Sherlock reacts to something John's said by wrapping his dressing gown tighter around himself (he's wearing it over his clothes) and flopping down on the sofa in their flat, then turning away from John to face the wall as he draws up his knees in a semi-fetal position. Sherlock acts just like a petulant child there, imo.

This is in The Great Game, and I agree, it's a wonderful scene. And that "stop inflicting your opinions on the world", is so childish, so adorable...
