honestly the best? worst? thing about tsot is that we’re all expecting the person who’s about to die as a result of john and mary’s wedding to be a sherlock mirror.. sholto is so clearly set up as a former sherlock figure in john’s life, and the “into battle” dressing scene is almost too blatant, so we all know right away that this wedding is killing sherlock. it’s so clear that you almost forget that sholto is a military man, fair, broken by the war, and only made it through the day because of sherlock’s (and mary’s to a lesser extent) help. sherlock warns sholto that “it’s you” right after telling john “it’s always you” in an attempt to keep them safe, but when he realizes that sholto had been dying of his wound the whole time, he sees only himself reflected back, not realizing that john is suffering too 🙂
