I"m not saying he'd necessarily remember it in a tramatized way. But even being over his PTSD there would be times he'd think of it. It was a major turning point in his life.

So was meeting Sherlock *sob*

Random thought. Even if it's not in Series 3, at some point I'd really like to see John's scar. And no, not just as an excuse to get Martin shirtless.
I imagine something like him looking at his scar in the mirror and maybe briefly flashing back to the day he got it.

Oh, but it would be a perfect excuse to get Martin shirtless . Besides it would only be fair, as we have already seen Sherlock nearly naked.

I am very willing to see Martin shirtless

I'd much rather see Benedict shirtless

Titania · September 6, 2013 9:42 pm

I want to see the both of them shirtless

Ha, my thought exactly! And please: in the same room, at the same time.

It's true. Off the top of my head I can't remember which story, but I do recall getting some nice images in my head

Okay, I shall now hijack this conversation back onto its actual puported topic for a bit...

*hears cries and whines*

Now, now...

-------------------

Wrapping up of Series 3 filming is almost finished, with post production finishing up on the first two episodes, and starting on the last episode.

Here are some more things I have found out:

1. There's a pizzaria scene in HLV, however something is weird about it. Both Sherlock and John are there, but Sherlock sees John eating through the window, neither of them saying anything at all, then in another shot, Sherlock is sitting in the same seat as John was. This looks like it might be a scene from Sherlock's mind, as at one point in the episode (evidence suggests this might be after he suffers a serious injury) he then sees things in his mind (such as a random woman). Whoo, Sherlock dream sequence!

2. Another cast member of the episode HLV:

Brigid Zengeni as "Katie" (no clue who she is though, sorry.

3. Then finally, what everyone has been waiting for, but still seems really sad...

The remains of 221b.

Thanks for sharing those pics, sj4iy!
They all have a pretty sad and lonesome atmosphere to them, especially the first one (ha, Sherlock and his posture again!). But also the second one with John staring out the window. The reddish lighting looks so great!
Don't know how often I've said this already, but: can't wait to finally see it!

Thanks for the pictures, sj4iy.

SolarSystem : But also the second one with John staring out the window

IMHO, John looks more like ruminating..But what might be he thinking about?!

It's Illustrious Client.
Both Holmes and I had a weakness for the Turkish bath. It was over a smoke in the pleasant lassitude of the drying-room that I have found him less reticent and more human than anywhere else. On the upper floor of the Northumberland Avenue establishment there is an isolated corner where two couches lie side by side, and it was on these that we lay upon September 3, 1902, the day when my narrative begins

But they are not shirtless

Ah, The Illustrious Client, haven't read that one for a while...I really need to read through all the stories and novels again, recently I bought a really old publication (1927, how awesome is that???) of all the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels...looking forward to absorbing them again after all this time! Really it's been too long, my knowledge of the canon is a little rusty .
Oh, and not shirtless??? That's sacrilege! ...

kittykat · September 7, 2013 4:59 pm

Aww, I had a wonderful image in my head

KeepersPrice · September 7, 2013 5:14 pm

That Turkish bath picture certainly looks rather post-coital.

As for the pizza place sequence - something about it reminds me of myself when I was in London and went looking for 'Angelo's'. Found the place, found the window, and sat myself down right where Benedict had been. Also, moved over to where Martin had been. Knowing I was sitting in the same spot where both had been made me feel as if I were 'in touch' somehow. Not saying that's what's happening here in this scene, but imagine yourself sitting down in a seat still warm from someone you care about who recently vacated it. Makes you feel closer - as if you are putting yourself in their place. *feeling sentimental today*

Heck stop, I'm sobbing here!

Oh yes, that's a great image. Sitting down, maybe touching the same things, looking at the same things... feeling the same feelings...
