    Sherlock's secret admiration/affection for Lestrade

    John & Mary abandoned him in the graveyard to go off together.

    Mycroft & Lestrade were the ones who helped, and more specifically Lestrade, who got down and dirty with him.

    What can we deduce about Sherlock's heart?

    Re: Sherlock's secret admiration/affection for Lestrade

    He trusts Lestrade to always help him. But then we knew that: Lestrade is the only person who reacted to his return with open delight (and a hug!), and Sherlock didn't miss that--he suggested him to John as a best man, even.

    Oh, dear.
    "Got down and dirty with him"... My mind really is in the gutter.

    But in all seriousness, I think it shows his attachment to Lestrade as well as Lestrade's attachment to him, of which he's aware.

    Re: Sherlock's secret admiration/affection for Lestrade

    I always thought Sherlock had an unspoken respect for Lestrade... even if he says things that sound very different. 

    I'll try not to comment on 'getting down and dirty'... *Coughs*

    Op .Lestrade and Mycroft belong at the graveside helping like friends and family, but when Sherlock goes deeper right into his very heart to discover what really burns it - it's John.
    Instead of Moriarty burning them, it's a bit wet and Johns love kicks Moriartys ass.

    Really? I didn't get it. Where?

    I wasn't looking for it, so maybe that's why I didn't see it, but I would relly like to know where others detected something. Would you mind to explain?

    On the other hand, Victorian Lestrade isn't quite so flattering,  It's affectionate, but Sherlock makes a point of him not being able to solve the case (although he does notice the note!).

    Re: Sherlock's secret admiration/affection for Lestrade

    Yeah I think the banter is there, but not the open affection we saw in TEH.
    But then in Victorian Sherlock...I don't think they've known each other that long.

    I suspect Sherlock to forget Lestrade's name on purpose . Sherlock is so obvious

    Jim Moriarty. Helloooo ! ~~

    Oh, yes, to me it seems obvious that Sherlock "forgets" Lestrade's first name because he thinks it's hilarious.
