I’ve heard arguments that “He’s like a drug” and John waking up panting from Sherlock dreams is about John’s addiction to adventure/the cases

And on rewatching, I almost believed them because just LOOK at him:

Mycroft threatens to plant child porn on anyone who mentions Magnussen again, and before Myc’s even cleared the hallway John just

And then he literally examines his fingernails playing like he doesn’t care as he faux-casually says

And when Sherlock says “Too big and dangerous for any sane individual to get involved in,” look at John’s left hand go as he says

God, John, you’re legit fucked up about not being involved in the cases

I see now

NOTHING is more important to you than the ADVENTURE

John no, NOTHING is more important to you than the ADVENTURE, your hand was clenching from WAR MEMORIES when you thought you were gonna be left out of the CASE, now let’s focus:

 

….. okay John, okay, the Janine thing was shocking for all of us.  But now that’s out of your system, and Sherlock will get you back on track because #SherlockHolmes’sCaseloadLives means #JohnWatsonLives

I mean your tone leaves a little to be desired given, like, your random shouting and fist clenching when you thought you were gonna be left out of the great adventure

And frankly, I’m not sure this annoyed gesture was necessary

But hey at least now we’re back on track feeding that addiction of yours, and NOTHING is more important than the ADVENTURE –

DAMN IT, JOHN

He craves that detective.
