Steven Moffat when asked whether or not Sherlocks tears in Reichenbach were real

(via mycroft)

He didn’t write the episode, did he? And by the way, of course he knew what he was doing… that doesn’t mean that he didn’t feel what he was saying in that moment.

Sherlock knew that he had to be emotional to convince John. So he let himself feel his own (very strong) emotions for once in his life.  John can’t see his face so there’s no reason for him to “fake” tears.  (I wrote a whole thing about this once.)

He knew “exactly what he was doing” because he gave into his emotions at the exact strategic moment that would ensure his plan worked. But you can’t tell me that little laugh after “you could” was trickery of any sort.

Also: I like my Cumberbatch weepy, I think he was playing it with real emotion, Moffat deliberately says things like this all the time, and that gif is the most perfect reaction ever

“Sentimentalize him at your peril?” Bro, have we forgotten about the time in The Three Garridebs where Watson got shot and Sherlock Holmes had a fucking conniption fit over it? Sure, Sherlock isn’t the most sentimental of people, but that doesn’t mean he’s barren of emotion. He can certainly display sentiment, especially where his Watson is concerned.
