Oh my god. Just, oh my god.
Wow.
I secretly thought there was no possible way this could live up to the buildup in my head. And then it did. Wow. They... just, everybody was impressive as all hell here. Tense and desperate and complicated. And Molly, oh god, Molly. Yes.
Sherlock knows it's over all along, and John never wavers in his faith, and the letter isn't a letter because they somehow found a way to make it even more gutting. God. Martin Freeman, you guys. Martin fucking Freeman.
More later, right? After I scrape my heart and jaw off the floor.
Damn.

Date: 2012-01-18 02:56 am (UTC)I loved everyone but I have trouble focusing on how much I loved everyone and so I am spending lots of time thinking about JOHN. And how weirdly moved I am by his transposition into the twenty-first century--how desperately sad it is that John Watson is still, a century later, just back from Afghanistan; how irrationally reassuring it is to find John Watson living in the modern world and still steady and good and true.

I read a fic a while ago set in the future (sort of; Doctor Who was involved), and it starts with John in another war in Afghanistan. My first thought was, Wow. That's bleak. My second was, But... *sigh*. I love John just as he is, but it is a rather damning commentary all by itself that there's so little about John's background that needs even minor alteration. :/
