Maybe we already had this in the thread about scenes without background music, but in my opinion it definitely belongs here. It's when Sherlock rescues John from the bonfire. The way in which he shouts John's name is really devastating...

And I really love how Sherlocks face is totaly in focus when John looks at him, but when he looks at Mary she's all blurry...

Powerful. Much more so than it was with the obtrusive music. You can clearly hear Sherlock intensely panting, cursing, hurrying.

Interesting to see Mary's presence, but always standing back from the action, and often with her face in a blur. This is a powerful johnlock scene. I honestly sat here waiting for Sherlock to say, "Babe, are you all right? Talk to me, damn it!" and to gather John up in his arms. Phew! *wipes sweat off brow* Hotness, in more ways than one.

*Johnlocks aggressively*

God yes, you're absolutely right. With everything.

Hi! I was obsessing over Sherlock yet again and found something interesting while looking for the souce of naming the episode The Blind Banker.

SusiGo · December 31, 2014 12:05 pm

Go and read it, ladies! It is amazing.

Harriet · December 31, 2014 12:27 pm

What I noticeed is how Sherlock rushes into the fire without a second thought and drags John out while Mary basically doesn't do anything and stands far back! Instead she only yells at (John! Get up John!) John to get up and get out of the fire! What I could gather from all this is like many times before (and after), moffits are showing us how our protagonists' so called platonic best friend cares or is devoted to him more than their love interests or in this case, future life partner.

Something kind of similar happened back in TGG when Sarah refused to make John breakfast in favor of having a shower while Sherlock let John have a chance to take a bite at the first opportunity they could catch a break from Moriarty's mad game.

Yes, I don't get this. If it was my hubbie, I would be by Sherlock's side tearing out that fire. And that's not because I'm particular brave or heroic, not at all. Mary is a trained assassin, there is no way she would be paralyzed by fear.

Harriet · December 31, 2014 1:16 pm

and she's a nurse who knows that time matters

SolarSystem · December 31, 2014 1:22 pm

Maybe she didn't want to blow her own cover... oh but no, she loves John, he's the love of her life.. oh, but wait...

This fills my heart with such joy!

Lovely find...aw...
I just wonder if the Mofftiss know this little gem at all....
Oh, but on the other hand they would tell us that for John it's Mary and for Sherlock Janine or Irene or whoever female they can grasp and it's not necessarily directed at each other...ugh...
Why do I spoil the fun, sorry, meant to say, it's so lovely....

Have you guys seen this?

Open Letter to Benedict Cumberbatch on your comments regarding fan fiction.

Draconia · January 1, 2015 6:19 am

Thanks for sharing!
Well I don't know about others, but I can only agree with her.
I realy hope he will be able to read the letter.

Just finished watching HLV. Ok so after watching Sherlock rescue John from the fire CAM concludes that Sherlock cares about John very much. I wonder what he thought of Mary lurking in the sidelines and asking John to get out of the fire himself.
