Btw, I am just reading schmiezi's "Crossing Bridges" and I am totally caught by Johnlock at the moment. It's so moving and beautiful! Is it a good sign?

There is nothing to add, I guess.
Sherlock should grab John's arm more often, if you ask me.
Constantly, if you ask me. And not just his arm, if you ask me.

He can grab him all the time. I don't mind.

gently69 · June 27, 2014 9:02 am

Oh, this scene is sooo moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solar ...

SusiGo · June 27, 2014 9:07 am

Yes. One of my favourites.
The look of panic on Sherlock's face when John turns to leave the cemetery …

Yes, one night of disharmony between him and his conductor of light clearly is more than enough. John can't be allowed to leave again.

This is unbelievable - have a look at the elephants (in the rooms):

Sorry, but ... I didn't get that. (I'm too stupid I suppose) But why did you post that here, Susi?

SusiGo · June 27, 2014 10:33 am

Well, "to avoid the elephant in the room" means "das Offensichtliche leugnen". That there is something that is obvious but people choose not to talk about it. This is often taken as a hint to Johnlock. The German translation of the elephant scene does not work because we do not have this idiom. And we do not only get the elephant in the TSoT scene but lots of other elephants. For instance on a purple tie.

gently69 · June 27, 2014 10:39 am

Ah yes, I knew the meaning of this idiom but wasn't aware about the connection you are thinking of. Now I understand. I am adaptive.

Very late to this party and it's probably on the HLV thread, but I really watched and listened to the scene where Sherlock brings himself "back to life" for John. I finally heard how he calls John's name as he exits "the pit" and climbs the stairs. They didn't make it too obvious - sort of blended it into his groans - so the non-Johnlockers might not notice. But it was there!

My question is, those flashing shots when he finally "makes it to the top". What are they of? They go by so fast. I see Baker Street and Magnuson, I think, but is there anything else? Probably nothing overtly "sentimental" because it's in character that our hero would be focusing immediately on solving the case as that would be the best way to protect John; but, in a way, that's sentiment at its best, isn't it?

SusiGo · June 27, 2014 4:02 pm

It took me some time until I heard this. So beautiful.

I think the flashing shots show Magnussen, the wallpaper in Baker Street and the street door. Not sure if there is more but they seem to be work-related. Although Baker Street is a very symbolic place for Sherlock and not only connected to work. For me it also had an aspect of stepping out into the outside world again = life.

(Just an aside - This year's London Gay Pride Parade will start in Baker Street.)

Mattlocked · June 27, 2014 4:16 pm

Not to forget the stairs from "Pink" (first case with John).

gently69 · June 27, 2014 4:16 pm

Is it something like the Christopher Street Day, Susi?

Yes. And Sir Ian McKellen will introduce Conchita Wurst.

Just watched that scene in sloooow motion.
It's Magnusson showing the letters at Baker Street. And a close up view of Mary's gun, aiming at the viewer. And then Mary aiming at Magnusson. And the door of 221.

SusiGo · June 27, 2014 4:29 pm

Thank you, Mattlocked, I never took the time to watch in slow-mo. So Mary is in his mind all the time representing danger. Magnussen is the case. And the door might stand for home?

Mattlocked, first scientific research on your laptop?

SolarSystem · June 27, 2014 7:51 pm

Mark... did you really say that?
