[sarnath]

To highlight a truth about John, of course.

I don't know what sort of "effect" you think it should have on their relationship. They're grown men (especially John) who likely won't go around pining in the manner of a high school student.

The story is also far from finished. We don't actually know what may come of it yet.

To highlight a truth about John, of course.

What truth?

[sarnath]

Er, the truth of what he was feeling? What else have we been talking about here?

[fenm]

Oh.. you mean those feelings that Irene--a known liar--claims he has that we never actually see him express?

[sarnath]

That is really not what that scene is conveying, you know. It's an honest scene, an emotional scene where things were laid bare, most significantly from John. It doesn't matter what Irene said, it matters how John reacted to it.

But hey, if you didn't see it, nothing I say can make you change your mind.

[fenm]

That is really not what that scene is conveying, you know.

Ya know what? Fuck that scene. When it comes to Molly, her attraction to Sherlock is painfully obvious in EVERY SCENE SHE'S IN. So why, with John, are we being asked to rely on one scene? That's bullshit. Give me other examples, ones outside that scene and outside that episode. And before you ask, "What are you looking for?" I'll point out that YOU'RE the one who's so sure that canon states John is in love with Sherlock, so it seems like you would have noticed them. So YOU tell ME.

[sarnath]

When it comes to Molly, her attraction to Sherlock is painfully obvious in EVERY SCENE SHE'S IN. So why, with John, are we being asked to rely on one scene?

a) Because she's a very different person from John, and suck at hiding what she feels. Surely you're not suggesting that everyone shows their feelings the same way?

b) She's a woman, and there's no social stigma about showing her attraction to a man.

c) John doesn't want to admit his feelings even to himself. Why would he showcase them to Sherlock (or anyone)?

That scene is a glimpse of something hidden. Perhaps it will lead somewhere, perhaps not. It's not a storyline, it's an implication.

[fenm]

So, you've got nothing, then? Okay.
