Remember when this show was subtle? You shouldn’t because it never has been.

I never noticed the empty table set for dinner between them.  Could the symbolism be any stronger.  There’s that heart for romantic love, there’s that raging fire, and there’s that empty table, just sitting there like the elephant in the room,  They could be ‘eating’ and they’re not.  There’s just all this goddamned tension, and heat, and love between them, but they just can’t bring themselves to take those couple of steps to the table and sit down to ‘eat’.

The reason?  There are still so many misunderstandings between them, which we are about to find out in this scene where Sherlock has his meltdown, and John reacts badly, and neither knows what it was really about or how to fix it.

OH MY GOD I NEVER…

MY HEART LITERALLY JUST DID A WEIRD SKIPPED BEAT THING????

AN EMPTY TABLE

SET FOR DINNER

BETWEEN THEM

BUT THEY’RE JUST SITTING THERE

WITH THEIR BACKS TURNED

LOOKING AT THE FIRE

A DISTANCE APART

THERE IS EVEN A FUCKING CANDLE ON THE TABLE

A BURNING CANDLE

LIKE IN ASIP

AND ANOTHER THING:

USUALLY WAITERS LIGHT THE CANDLE WHEN THE TABLE IS TAKEN OR NOT?!

SO THIS SHITTY TABLE IS RESERVED FOR JOHN AND SHERLOCK

AND NOW LOOK AT THIS SCREENSHOT OF ASIP!!!

AND THERE IS EVEN THIS PURPLE SUBTLE LIGHT AGAIN

Is everyone OK? sussexbound what have you done

I don’t know!!!  But, every time I see this post come back ‘round my dash, it just keeps getting better & better! ^_^
