Hi DBS!
Just wanted to share a little something –
I went back to watch TSoT the other night and got to the Drunk Stag night bit. Heaps of gold there. I mean, that whole scene is awesome and also laden with sexual undertones… they were not even trying to be subtle about it. Anyway, I was cracking up watching Sherlock do his Drunk Deducing Dance, which culminates in the priceless “do NOT contaminate the integrity of the crime scene… blegghhh” part. Beauty.
That scene moves on to our duo sleeping off the booze in a cell. What got me was the slow transition between those two scenes. Check out the picture, I screencapped it.
So we see Sherlock with his ‘lalala-move-along-nothing-to-see-here’ face after puking … followed by Sherlock’s image actually slowly disappearing into John’s mouth in the next scene. I was like, Whut. This is ridiculously blatant imagery, lol.
Like you said in your ”Thoughts on all those “no homo” quotes” entry – ‘They’re telling us one thing and showing us another.’ They are doing everything they can to insert such innuendos, and I gotta ask, how do you backtrack from that ? lol
Anyway, thanks for reading!

Yyyyessss ma’am I sure had noticed this! You’re so right. So very, very blatant. I’m pretty sure when I spotted it, I texted my Johnlock-obsessed friend something along the lines of “so Sherlock is wiping off his mouth and then the camera transitions so that Sherlock is inside John’s mouth and some editors who went to film school and are fucking professionals actually deliberately did this.”
Her response: “This is why I love you.”
Slowed down, for your entertainment:
Thanks!!! <3 DBS
