I do wonder if ultimately the day will be saved by the return of John Watson in his full glory – a John who finally understands himself and Sherlock and the meaning of their partnership. I don\u2019t believe we get them back together in 221B without John going through his own kind of heroic arc of destiny. I think it will take an emotional reckoning to get to that understanding. The power of this duo has always been the emotional response readers have to them. That together they fit. Perfectly. If this adaptation is about how they got there & imagining a different long term game that has them together rather than canonically apart\u2026then I think that journey will be a painful one. I think they are going to make them not being together seem like an injustice that has to be righted. For balance to return to this universe we need John back. I think Moffat and Gatiss have planned this disruptive, unsettling s3 that us left us shut out of so much of John\u2019s arc *precisely because it can then be righted*. I\u2019m expecting the pendulum to swing back to us seeing the world through John\u2019s eyes with gut wrenching force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I took the liberty of cutting and quoting this from gloriascott\u2019s wonderful headcanon<\/a> because man, it gives me so much hope. Even though I don\u2019t like speculating on showrunners\u2019 intentions, reading s3 through this lens\u00a0really saves it for me.<\/p>\n
