* When Sherlock cruelly cuts down Molly on Christmas Eve, he makes a particularly horrible remark about "the size of her mouth and breasts." It seems out of place for Sherlock to comment on Molly's ''breasts'', but then I realised why it wasn't. As someone who is asexual, Sherlock's entire knowledge of sexuality and reproduction is probably anthropological/psychological. From that point of view, the males of the human species are attracted to women with luscious, full lips (supposedly suggests sexual health) and large breasts (suggests good breeding stock.) He's therefore judging Molly because she doesn't fit up to ''textbook'' ideals of what women should look like, and completely ignoring personal taste and preference, because he ''has'' no personal taste or preference in that respect. Contrast with Lestrade and John. When Molly took her coat off, John burst out with "Holy ''Mary!!"'' (in front of his ''girlfriend.'' No wonder she dumped him) and Lestrade's jaw dropped as he got out "... Wow."

* ''A Scandal in Belgravia'' is all about Sherlock becoming more fallibly human. It deals with his loyalties, emotions and sexuality (or lack thereof.) But one aspect that's always present but never made obvious is that it deals with Sherlock being as fallible, physically, as everyone else. There is no scene in the entire last series of Sherlock showing him eating (though he tells Mrs Hudson in ''A Study in Pink'' that he might need some food and presumably goes out to dinner after the episode's events are over.) There's no instance of him sleeping, either; even the ''location'' of his bedroom isn't shown until ''Belgravia.'' In ''Belgravia'', he's shown both eating and drinking. The infamous bedsheet scene begins with him rolling out of bed after presumably being there asleep all night; he's also drugged and shown to be just as susceptible to it as everyone else is. Also, when you punch him, he bleeds. It's all very cleverly woven to enrich the depiction of his character and his frail humanity.

* In the scene at Buckingham Palace, Mycroft's friend tells John his employer reads his blog, and particularly liked the story about "The Aluminium Crutch." If you read John's write-up of the case [[http://www.johnwatsonblog.co.uk/blog/02september on his tie-in blog]], you can see that nearly the whole entry is comprised of a word-for-word writeup of an epic voicemail Sherlock sent John. (It's pretty funny in and of itself.) The compliment is therefore ''Sherlock's''- or at least, can be equally shared between Sherlock and John. Brings more significance to the "I-told-you-so" look John throws to Sherlock.

** Damn. THIS troper thanks you for pointing that out. It always seemed a very out of character outburst from John, who reacted better when he ''got arrested.'' Also nods to the fact that John ''does'' have PTSD, though it manifests because he misses the action, and that although he's over the limp (apparently), it hasn't magically gone away.
** And on that note, when Mycroft returns in The Great Game and asks John how living with Sherlock has been going for him, John's tense response is "I'm never bored." Mycroft returns with this obnoxious, ingratiating "Good, that's good, isn't it?" and a smug smile at him. It can take a couple of watchings to really pull the significance of what Mycroft's said out of his general smugness: "because we've established that when you're bored, you end up spiralling into depression and develop excruciating pain that limits your ability to walk." It could also, thinking on it further, function as a defence of Sherlock in that respect, or a reminder that there are worse things than being "never bored." After all, they've just had a row bad enough that John preferred sleeping in his clothes on a sofa than sleeping comfortably in his own bed.
