this is not a friendly, “ah ha, sherlock got laid“ reaction. this is not an expression of confusion (sherlock got laid?!). this is not ordinary surprise. at this moment, i can imagine that john’s heart is beating quickly. maybe his stomach lurches. his limbs feel shaky. he’s shocked but not because sherlock “everything else is transport” holmes presumably had sex. this is that moment when you find out your friend and secret crush asked out someone else. this is the reaction of a man discovering that the person he loves, has always loved, has probably always counted on to be there, to be his (in whatever sense of the word) has given himself to another person.

martin is a masterclass actor. it’s so important that his first reaction here is not one of happy surprise or of, “wow, this is an awkward moment!” look at his face. he looks concerned. he looks hurt. this is so not how a “friend” reacts in this situation. john is shocked and somewhat hurt and annoyed and jealous as hell throughout this entire scene. he doesn’t joke around with sherlock. he doesn’t congratulate him on the sex as friends would do. they’re not just friends. there’s more there. they’re more.

He looks so lost. I love the step backwards, like he actually needs to physically remove himself a little from what is happening.

It’s a fight or flight response. He’s got such a visceral NO reaction to what he’s seeing, and the viewer almost feels like he’s going to turn on his heel and run right out of the flat.

He just looks completely drained, as if in that one moment, everything he understood about his place in Sherlock’s life has been completely ripped away from him. As if he’s lost him.

And I think that feeling of having the carpet ripped out from underneath his feet, of feeling utterly adrift, coloured his reactions through the rest of the episode. In a sense, in this moment, John is cut loose from his moorings. John may keep Sherlock right, but that works both ways.

Without Sherlock, their relationship, to anchor him, he’s just lost.
