Ah, breathing. Breathing’s boring.

In classical logic, a contradiction consists of a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions. It occurs when the propositions, taken together, yield two conclusions which form the logical, usually opposite inversions of each other.

God knows where she is.

I think Sherlock misses Irene in the sense that she’s another intellectual equal (or near equal), a challenge that isn’t Mycroft or a case. I think he misses having a mental sparring partner like her, and she lingers in his mind, though sometimes at inopportune moments and he gets annoyed/exasperated then.

She’s not there naked for inherent sexual reasons IMO. That’s how Sherlock first met her, and why he couldn’t deduce her. To him, the quintessential sparring partner, the quintessential Irene Adler, is without a disguise and thus undeducible. A challenge, and he always likes a good challenge.

What if John asks Sherlock to be his best man? Well, he will, won’t he? He’s bound to. Exactly.

Once again… I can not with this scene.

One of the more deliberate moments where the watcher witnesses the depth of Sherlock’s pining.  Sherlock is referring to John’d romanticism in relation to his blog.. which, let’s be clear, is a blog revolving around Sherlock.  John isn’t romanticizing crime, or murder, or the generality of cases…  he’s romanticizing Sherlock, his mind, his acuity, their time together, who Sherlock is specifically as a man and John responds to Sherlock’s identity by writing about it with great depth and affection.   

Up until now Sherlock has been the primary recipient of John’s romantic attentions.  Not outright physical romance, but something with perhaps even far greater intimacy.  John accounting Sherlock with beautiful sincerity, and genuine respect, his words making Sherlock into something desirable.  (Which in turn, Sherlock returns that same level of romanticism in his best man’s speech.)

Sherlock was probably content just having that from John.  Having love expressed through the safe medium of John’s blog.  Sherlock’s small hesitation and and averting his eyes so he’s not looking right at John, pursing his lips.  His tone and expression is a cocktail mix of regret, guilt over having these feelings in the middle of this event, and internalized longing.

I’d like to see you try.

JOHN: Try and remember there’s a woman here who might die.

SHERLOCK: What for? This hospital’s full of people dying, Doctor. Why don’t you go and cry by their bedside and see what good it does them?

What might we deduce about his heart?
