John Watson - Sherlock Holmes’ moral compass
I like to think these moments are where they (supposedly; where do I remember hearing this?) cut lines that were intended to be John’s opportunity to show humor, but Martin Freeman thought they were too showy. So instead they just replaced them with John saying Sherlock’s name in that resigned, oh-we’re-doing-this-again voice and it’s just a little John Watson-sized pile of perfection.
