Can you even believe how flirty this is??? Can you!!??? He’s flirting so hard he’s looking at john from under his lashes and tilting his head an that smile is so fucking flirtatious and come hither and can you even believe this was on television!??,!?!??!?! And the way john looks back at him is so hungry and sexual it feels too intimate for other people to be witnessing!!?!??!? Can you believe how incredibly sexually charged this scene is?!?! What the fuck what the FUCK???
Sherlock is definitely being flirty/ ‘oh aren’t I so gosh darn irrascible’. John, however, to be true to thecontext, when he just discovered he was NOT actually going to die at any second and Sherlock had known that, is thinking about how he wants to kill Sherlock.
I found this scene very uncomfortable, like Sherlock was genuinely nearly unforgivable rather than being funny or charming.

[Podfic] The Great Sex Olympics of 221B

John Watson thinks Sherlock Holmes should admit that he, Watson, is more of an expert on sex than Sherlock is. But Sherlock refuses to concede the point. He comes up with an experiment plan that will resolve the issue. The results will determine who wins the prize. But sometimes even the best thought-out scientific study has unexpected consequences.

The Empty Hearse DVD commentary:
Gatiss: We talked a lot, didn’t we, about having that problem of suddenly someone spoiling the fun. It’s the worst thing you can do. The important thing was to regard the third series as a new team, in a way. And actually, fundamentally, she and Sherlock would immediately get on.
Stubbs: Yes.
Gatiss: And that sort of changes everything.
Moffat: Which resulted in us writing a scene between Sherlock and Mary that we couldn’t make work. We both took passes at it and we couldn’t make it work. And it’s all replaced by one line.
Gatiss: “I like him.”
Moffat: “I like him.” And that was it. The whole story.
Stubbs: I loved that line.
Moffat: It carries a lot of import. That was about three pages, endlessly rewritten.
Gatiss: That’s why the scripts are too short!
Ok fanficcers– here’s your prompt. Write that missing scene. What EXACTLY would have happened between Sherlock and Mary- the two of them ALONE when they first met- that would make them fast friends. (And remember if they were fast friends, we’d ALL love her, too.) GO!
Probably the reason they wrote and rewrote that scene, and in the end decided to replace it with one line “I like him” was because it COULDN’T work because it was NOT IN CHARACTER. Really, for either of them (given what we later know about Mary.) So instead of *showing* this actually happening, they simply *tell* the audience that it happened (”I like him.”). Thus they don’t have to actually delve into it and make it work or justify it. It’s a bit of a cheat really.
I agree.
And in trying to create this artificial “besties” relationship between Sherlock and Mary, and tricking us into believing it– well, it actually makes Mary look even WORSE when she shoots Sherlock.
All it really did (for me) was underline her deviousness, her cold-bloodedness, he ruthlessness, and her complete inability to be LOYAL.
And it made me upset with John, for what is he, if he is not a paragon of Loyalty? HOW could he forgive a woman like that? Who would say, “I like him”, and befriend Sherlock and then turn around an shoot him, because she didn’t want to be exposed for who she really was?
I’m not sure Mofftiss was successful, here…
The fact that they seemed to be “besties” made the moment she shot Sherlock all the more dramatic and shocking. And that’s fine, that worked. What didn’t work for me was when John forgave her at Christmas *after* she’d been revealed for what she really was. I don’t think that worked at all with John’s character. But hopefully they will resolve that in S4.

This heartbreaking series of expressions is very much the face of a man who knows without a single doubt that he has just married the love of his life. Not the person who is talking about him and all of their personal history. That’s not the person he actually loves, oh no. He doesn’t have a single regret about having chosen Mary. Not one.
