Meaning that he's not quite God, but almost? Do you think Sherlock wants to be seen as somewhat god-like?

"You're not being John, you're being yourself."

I don't remember this. Was it when John first recognized Sherlock in the restaurant? Was Sherlock saying, "Not quite God, but almost?" Which would actually be excusable considering that 1) he basically just rose from the dead, and 2) John (or at least, Watson in the overall legend of Sherlock Holmes) regards Holmes as somewhat godlike.

I also like the "surprise me" and "killing me" exchanges.

It's in the restaurant when Sherlock is pretending to be a waiter, but the exchange is between Sherlock and Mary

Mary: Oh my god
Sherlock: Not quite
