[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

My Fav Parts of “The Lying Detective”.

*SPOILERS*

1.

John is walking around in a sort of daze. He doesn't want contact with anyone. He simply wants to pretend that he’s fine, but even deep down he knows that he isn’t okay. That things are bad. That there really is no happiness right now.

He’s pretending that Mary is still around. His own subconscious keeps lambasting him over the fact that she is dead. If even the Subconscious-Mary is telling him she’d dead, then we can see he knows it and understands it.

But John is stuck in Denial. Soon he will reach Acceptance, but before then he must go through Anger, Bargaining and Depression, which he’s also stuck in.

John wants to pretend everything is normal despite knowing it isn’t. Denial.

John lays blame on another because he cannot handle the full truth yet. Anger.

John knows what is coming and he’s trying to lessen the pain of it in any way he can. Preparing himself in a way by changing things up, not that it’s working really. Bargaining.

John is beating himself up at the same time all of this is going on. Alternating between hating himself(‘self-loathing’ as Subconscious-Mary says later on) for ‘failing’ in so many areas, and being hurt. Sometimes he feels it all, and then nothing. And he worries about it because he knows it isn’t healthy. Depression is more than sadness, and John encompasses all of it in a short amount of time.

2.

Mrs Hudson is probably the coolest person in the show.

It was like Need for Speed Underground in broad daylight.

3.

Sherlock flashing back to John when he puts all the facts about ‘Faith’ together. And how she reminds him of John so much and how he points out her self harm and immediately thinks of John when he realizes it.

Just what the fuck does Sherlock know about John that we don’t? Because if that makes him think of John, then there are a lot of assumptions I made in the first episode of season one, that have to be true.

4.

Culverton Smith is the creepiest fucker around IstG. I don’t like him, but the actor(Toby Jones) did his part very well and the fact that I got to watch goosebumps raise on my arms, is a testament to his acting capability.

5.

You know how Mycroft gets all uppity and acts as if nothing affects him? Yeah, the fact that he goes and puts really detailed and critical surveillance on Sherlock completely shatters that.

I don’t know how many times his façade of being unaffected by people and such, needs to be shattered before he too realizes that yes, dammit! He effin cares for his little brother.

And on another note… Sherlock taking ‘Faith’ on a route that spells F U C K O F F is the best.

Even when high he can eff Mycroft over.

6.

I swear Sherlock must have realized that when he deduced ‘Faith’s’ living conditions and her habits, he must have made some connection to himself. After all, ‘she isolated herself’, and he got very quiet and contemplative when he said so.

People forget that being high makes Sherlock’s mind work better. Too good actually. He physically cannot keep up with the leaps of logic that he continues to make. Getting high doesn’t make him stupid in any manner.

So with a man who is slowly coming to terms with his own emotions and the realization that the world is full of mortals who can die at any moment(himself and John included), it’s not so shocking that he might recognize some of his own plights.

Remember, drugs and alcohol don’t make you a new person, they just tear away the veil of restraint.

7.

Mycroft: Everybody dies. It’s the one thing human beings can be relied upon to do. How can it still come as a surprise to people?

Lady Smallwood: You sound cross. Am I going to be taken away by security again?

Mycroft: I have- I think, apologized extensively.

Lady Smallwood: You haven’t made it up to me.

Mycroft: And how am I supposed to do that?

*cutscene*

‘Faith’: SEX!

8.

Sherlock, fucking higher than a kite, manages to shoot the poster of Smith, directly in the eye.

BTW, the poster has an interesting comment.

“You wouldn’t believe the things they let me get away with!”- C. Smith.

Foreshadowing.

9.

The people in the room laughing when they put together Sherlock’s route before Mycroft does!

10.

I really feel for Molly because she obviously cares for Sherlock(though it no longer seems to be romantic). And to see someone you care for going through this shit isn’t pleasant. And especially since she knows the extent of the damage he’s doing to himself, and she doesn’t want to see anything bad happen.

It takes me back to when she slapped his face in season three.

11.

Mrs H: Right then, mister. Now I need you handcuffs. I happen to know there’s a pair in the salad drawer. I’ve borrowed them before.

Sherlock: *looks confused*

Mrs H: Oh, get over yourself. You’re not my first smackhead, Sherlock Holmes!

12.

Mrs H: Is Molly the right person to be doing medicals? She’s more used to dead people. It’s bound to lower you standards.

John: I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore. Mrs Hudson, as ever, you are amazing.

Mrs H: You’re going to have to buck up a bit, John. You know that don’t you? The game is on!

John: I’ll do my best.

13.

John accepting that the call is from Mycroft before even being told that it’s Mycroft. Because Mycroft does this shit all the time. He’s gotten used to it. Poor John.

14.

Sherlock predicting the shit out of everyone is the best. I just love how he knew 2 weeks in advance...ish, and everyone was turning up at the same time.

“You’re really not gonna like this.” -SH

And poor John is trying not to be amazed by all of it.

15.

Mrs H: Mycroft Holmes, what are all these dreadful people doing in my house?

Mycroft: Mrs Hudson, I apologize for the interruption. As you know,  my brother has embarked, in a program of self-destruction remarkable even by his standards and I am endeavoring to find out what triggered it.

Mrs H: And that’s what you’re all looking for?

Mycroft: Quite certainly.

Mrs H: What’s on his mind?

Mycroft: So to speak.

Mrs H: And you’ve had all this time?

Mycroft: Time being something of which we don’t have an infinite supply, so if we could be about out business?

Mrs H: *laughs uproariously* You! You’re so funny, you are!

Mycroft: Mrs Hudson?

Mrs H: *gestures to John* He thinks you’re clever. Poor old Sherlock, he’s going on about you. I mean, *grabs John’s shoulder* he knows you’re an idiot, but that’s okay *pats John’s arm* ‘cause you’re a lovely doctor. *looks at Mycroft* But he has noooo idea what an idiot you are!

Mycroft: Is this merely a stream of consciousness abuse or are you attempting to make a point?

Mrs H: You want to know what’s bothering Sherlock? Easiest thing in the world. Anyone can do it!

Mycroft: I know his thought processes better than any human being so please try to understand.

Mrs H: *laughs again* He’s not about thinking? Not Sherlock.

Mycroft: Of course he is.

Mrs H: Noooo. He’s more emotional, isn’t he? Unsolved case, shoot the wall *pew pew guns*. Unmade breakfast, karate the fridge *chop chop hand*. Unanswered questions. *turns to John* Well, what’s he do with anything he can’t answer, John? Every time?

John: He stabs it.

Mrs H: Anything he can’t find the answer for, BANG! *points to the mantel* It’s up there! I keep telling him if he was any good as a detective, I wouldn't need a new mantel.

Homegurl Hudders slays again!

16.

“I don’t want to die.” -SH.

The heartbroken tone kills me. My poor son!

17.

Mrs H: *glares at Mycroft* Get out of my house, you reptile. *points to the door*

18.

Sherlock: I should… come and see her *Rosie* soon.

John: Yes.

19.

John got to drive the Huddersmobile!

20.

John’s Acceptance comes at the very end of the episode! He even said it himself.

“I’m never gonna be okay. We just have to accept that. It is what it is. And what it is, is shit.”

21.

I don’t care what anyone has to say, but we all thought at least for a second, that Sherlock had the last recording device up his dick or ass.

22.

John called Sherlock, ‘mate’. A step ahead. A tiny one, but significant all the same.

23.

John: *speaking to Subconscious-Mary* Who you thought I was, is who I want to be.

S-Mary: Get on with it.

Sherlock: *Hugs John* It’s okay.

John: It’s not okay.

Sherlock: No. But it is what it is.

24.

Sherlock: I know it’s not my place to say, but it was just texting. People text. I text. Her. Woman. Bad idea. I try not to, but you know *shrugs*. Sometimes. It’s not a pleasant thought, John, but I have this terrible feeling from time to time, that we might all just be human.

John: Even you?

Sherlock: No. Even you.

John: Cake?

Sherlock: Cake. *goes to get deerstalker*

John: *laughs* Seriously?

Sherlock: I’m Sherlock Holmes. I wear the damn hat.

25.

I love the subtle change in john’s expression when Eurus said ‘the East Wind’.\

26.

JOHN DIDN’T CHEAT AND I NEVER FOR ONCE BELIEVED HE DID!

He’s allowed to have friends. And sometimes you need to talk to someone who doesn’t know you from the cuff. Not prior judgment because there is no experience.

27. 

‘Miss me?’

It was a good episode.
