Oh, John

[gothikmaus]

So, Sherlock. The fact that I already knew what was going to happen (more or less, I've read the books, so I knew what to expect) didn't make it any easier. If anything, the anticipation made it even worse.

Let me just say that I LOVED Molly. That little "I don't count" broke my heart. I mean, that little part of my heart that hadn't already been broken during the Christmas party scene when Sherlock all but dissects her in front of everyone. She's not stupid. She knows perfectly well she doesn't have a chance with Sherlock, but she also knows she won't suddenly stop caring about him just because he doesn't return her feelings. Hearts are funny little things that tend to be stubborn like that.

And John. God, John. The opening scene, with him chocking on his words. Martin Freeman did a terrific job. And the end. "Don't be dead." MY HEART. T_T

I'm not sure how I feel about Moriarty, other than being glad he's gone. Also, Mycroft. What the hell, Mycroft. But the scene at the Diogenes Club when the old man practically hyperventilates and calls security was hilarious. XD

I'll need to watch it again, I couldn't download it because my internet connection was awfully slow last night, so I had to watch it in streaming, taking a few startegic breaks to let the video load and avoid having it freeze in a crucial scene.

But I want to watch the new Hawaii Five-0 episode first. If my internet connection deigns to work today.

I identify SO MUCH with Molly. I'm glad she finally got the chance to be really terrific and important and acknowledged by Sherlock and not just the laughing stock she was in Series 1. And oh, the beginning and the end with John, so much emotion! ;____; So I agree with you on pretty much all counts.

>> I identify SO MUCH with Molly.

Oh God, so do I. And I'm so glad Sherlock finally realised she may be ordinary and "boring", but also competent and smart. He's so used to just judge people within seconds of meeting them, he doesn't catch all the fine nuances.

The scene at the Diogenes was one of my favourites XD Paper shoes!

I really liked Molly in this episode. She seems to have gotten over her crush and is content with just being part of his life. I think she fell under Moriarty's radar though, and he underestimated her and Sherlock's relationship :P

Molly is constantly underestimated by everyone. Yes, she does act like a silly girl with a crush around Sherlock, but that doesn't mean she's a complete idiot. And I really liked when she flat out told him "I know what you think of me, but I'd still like to help you."

It looked like Sherlock was taken aback when Molly made the point about John looking sad when he thought Sherlock wasn't looking. It was something he failed to observe for himself! I think that really put Molly up in his estimates. She's really the only original character that I love ♥

It was John choking up that completely got me... If I had been watching on my own, I would have had tears rolling down my face >_>

I think there are quite a few people glad that Moriarty is (hopefully) gone. I didn't see him as a real threat or a psychopath and I can't believe that Mycroft gave into him for a code that didn't exist! ARGH!

Martin Freeman really did an amazing job. ;_;

And I really don't know what to think of Mycroft. I mean, wtf.

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Diogenes Club, I loved it. And they have a lot of explanations to give about Mycroft.

John = <3

Molly = <3

I didn't cry but when she told Sherlock that he looked sad they almost had me. And John in the opening scene and the end... I really had to fight against tears.

Poor Molly, always underestimated and made fun of.

And I'm afraid Mycroft risks being banned from the Diogenes Club for inviting unwelcome loud guests over. XD

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

Yes, but Mycroft was one of the founder of the Diogenes, so no doubt he'd just throw everyone else out rather than ban his guests XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

*lol* Look at our comments. Two minds, same level of Mycroftness. XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

The co-founder? No, he'd just throw them out and be a club all on his own. XD

(And maybe invite John for tea... :D)
