It always used to confuse me, but now it makes perfect sense. Because there are so many ways that Sherlock could blow off the press, and he has explicitly stated earlier in the show that he was completely indifferent to the press. He could have just said \u2018no, because you\u2019re an idiot\u2019 or ignored her and flounced off without a word, but he didn\u2019t. He stepped in close, looked her right in the eye and said \u201cYou. Repel. Me.\u201d There is blatant disgust and hatred being shown here, and I used to be baffled by it; he doesn\u2019t even know her, where did this come from? But I\u2019ve figured out why. It\u2019s all in the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">First, she tried to trick him. That alone is an insult to his genius. But it\u2019s\u00a0<strong>how<\/strong> she tricked him. She could have dressed up as anything, but what did she pick? A fan. She pretended to be a fan. She pretended to be someone who liked him, who adored him. When really she saw him as her meal ticket. She wanted to use him to further her career, and she was ready to pretend to like him to do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After he sniffed her out, what did she do then? She still tried to feed him affection. \u201cYou\u2019re going to need someone on your side\u201d (aka. You\u2019re going to need a friend to help you out.) When she knew that she had absolutely no pull. She never expected to hold up her end of the bargain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How many people do you think have done this over the years? We know Sebastian Wilkes did. In his email, it was all \u201cHey buddy, how are you?\u201d, but when Sherlock showed up, he told John about how much he hated him at Uni. About how they all hated him. And Sherlock flinched and looked away, but he didn\u2019t look surprised. He knew. Add to the fact that Sherlock calls him \u2018Seb\u201d instead of \u2018Sebastian\u2019 or \u201cWilkes\u2019. He still tried to be his friend. Still tried to cling to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And how many times did he let them? How many times did he think \u2018I\u2019m not someone who can be loved, so this is the closest I\u2019ll ever get.\u2019 But then John came along, and he realized that he <strong>could <\/strong>have friends. That he <strong>was<\/strong> someone who could be loved. And so when Kitty Riley came up to him and tried to pull the same shit that everyone else had tried to pull on him, and he got to say what he had bottled up for how many years. He got to say \u2018No. Fuck you, I don\u2019t need your scraps of affection, because I have John and Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">He got to walk right up to her, look her in the eye and say to her and to Sebastian Wilkes and to everyone else who had ever done that to him <strong>\u201cYou. Repel. Me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That was brilliant.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>shitlock: greyface-angel: I\u2019ve been doing some thinking, and I just realized just how much this scene said about Sherlock\u2019s past.
