The thing I don’t understand is, why the baby/pregnancy? To give Mary a motive for going after CAM, maybe, but isn’t putting John in a bonfire enough? And her pregnancy immediately makes her vulnerable, so they can ignore her background and make her a victim. But then why go through the trouble of making us feel conflicted about her with a half-baked redemption if we’re supposed to ultimately sympathize with her? Do you have any speculations about the purpose of the baby/pregnancy?

I have many speculations, but they don’t really boil down in a useful fashion. Maybe…

For John/Mary endgame, would it be truly that impossible? I know Johnlock shippers are pretty biased towards her, but if you think back to the first two seasons Sherlock also did his portion of lying, manipulating, and almost leaning towards abusive (like poisoning John). And John doesn’t really know Sherlock’s past either. So what if she doesn’t work secretly for Moriarty (like in many headcannons) and is really basically a female version of Sherlock, who loves and understands John?

Yes, I think John/Mary endgame is impossible. No, I don’t think Mary is necessarily a…

Hello! I saw your amazing meta on John’s limp popping up on my dash. I just have one question. You said that John’s still limping in TEH, but I did not immediately spot it when I first saw the ep. In which scenes is John limping again exactly? I love the whole thing with the psychosomatic limp and was so saddened when it seemed resolved in ASIP. And then I saw your post and was all like: Am I really that blind?! Anyway thanks for your time, love reading your stuff. Have a nice day!

John is limping at the end of TRF when he walks away from Sherlock’s grave,…

pardon me if its mentioned before, realize in HLV John kicks down wiggins and kicked chair in 221b after SH reappearance with his psychosomatic limp. I can’t help but feel that theres a deeper significance to the limp than his adrenaline/ risk addictn (or dependence) He was limp bec of meaningless existence; SH came so he feels hes doing something/ can move on- no longer limp; then emotional rush/ tension that gives him impulse to use leg to do somethin like how someone want to stomp when mad

Oh yeah. No, people don’t develop psychosomatic injuries over adrenaline addiction. I think it’s pretty…

loudest-subtext-in-television says Sherlock is a bottom because in series 3 they showed him inside a train, which apparently means he is being penetrated. Later they showed John’s middle finger, which apparently means John is going to finger him. Great logic! Maybe we can say John is a bottom because they showed Sherlock holding THREE fingers up in the air?

I’m afraid I’m not really into arguing about this topic, anon. To be quite honest,…

I saw this Interview snippet with Martin and he was super rude to the Interviewer when he was asked about his relationship with Benedict: “Are you a 16 year old girl now? Pleeease be fucking!??” I get that he’s tired of the show being reduced to sexual tension and stuff, but I get the feeling he’s offended when people suggest Sherlock and John should be involved. To me, he seems pretty much against Johnlock (further than the subtext). Would Moffat and Gatiss take that into consideration?

I think that: 1: Martin is rude during interviews fairly often. He’s a sassy little…
