BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » Favourite Martin pics

I like this picture, too, because of the hidden side this John Watson has. It is the opposite to Sherlock's hidden heart. I think it is the first time that I like the interpretation of a Dr. Watson. In previous interpretations he is just the silly sidekick. Martin Freeman and the writers give him enough strength to stand next to Sherlock.

Found myself watching Hitchhiker's Guide again last night. Martin is fraking adorable. That is all.

He really is isn't he? Adorable indeed

Well, here we are thudding left and right (seriously, are any of you left standing?? ) over a certain favorite 'pin-up' in a certain other thread (hey, not that I'd ever complain!), and..... I thought it only fair that this gentleman here also got a pin-up while we're at it. Because, seriously, albeit in quite a different way.... also 'wow'...

Wow, the second one just made my heart stop. After two days of detox I really needed this. Thank you Russell.

Oh those are FABULOUS pics!

Felt the need to re-post a screen shot I did a while back because it seems to illustrate a lovely description I found in a fan fic - from 'The Paradox Series" by wordstrings, chapter titled 'Wider Than A Mile':

There are times, Sherlock knows, when he is amazing. When he is a supercomputer, when he is a blood hound, when he is a marauder and the prize in his sights is an Army doctor with a sweet, gentle face and a deadly trigger finger.

What a nice shot of him. This brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting.

Regarding people loving certain 'dashing' pics lately, not to mention his wonderful various faces........

Alright! Alright, ladies! Settle down, I will now address the matter at hand!

Wonderful!

Oh, I don't know about the silly sidekick thing. I'm currently watching some old BBC series on PBS here in the States. It was made in like 1985, and it's fabulous. And that John is very much, as that Sherlock always introduces him to others, Sherlock's "friend and colleague". There is no silliness whatsoever in him. And whoever the actor is, he's quite adorable and endearing, as "our" John is-- blond, nice smile, always willing to lend a hand and soothe people, while his Sherlock stews someplace in his mysterious mind palace, and then gets to be the hero that saves the day in the end. I'll go now and see if I can find actors' names. BRB...

Here ya go, this is it

That's a manip. I'd bet my last couple of coins on it.

No, it's not! I just made this screen cap some minutes ago. It's from TBB where John is like: "I need to sleep - just twenty minutes."

I would snuggle the hell out of him.

crazybbcamerican · June 13, 2013 1:02 am

Speaking of snuggles, wanted to share this with you guys since I have crazy facebook friends who like to send me this stuff:

Seriously! Did that NOT make you laugh?

sj4iy · June 13, 2013 1:39 am

My favorite XD

tobeornot221b · June 13, 2013 4:52 am

This split second lasting happy little smile...isn't it cute?

Maggi13 · June 13, 2013 5:30 pm

Aww, this is cute indeed!

Good night.

From the Graham Norton show "I won a BFTA" moment.
Has anyone else ever looked this adorable dropping the F*** bomb?

Many times, of course. Plus the moment of Ben swearing (unintentionally at first) at the Cheltenham thing he did with Louise. There's annoying swearing for the sake of swearing, and there's otherwise adorably gentlemanly people surprising you with a rare one out of the blue for a laugh. As you said.... adorable.
