Oh my god, I love this analysis! Thank you! The second episode has helped so much with the bad taste in my mouth about the first episode, which honestly, I don't know if I'll ever get over. My big hope is that the third episode will Make All Clear *fingers crossed*
But the second episode, oh, how much I love it, and this is such a lovely insightful essay about it. a major arc in the show is an exploration of a person slowly coming to terms with giving himself permission to apply his “It’s all fine” motto to himself and figuring out what he really wants from life, apart from societal expectations. YES. That's what I want.
I told a friend that I feel honored we've been able to watch Sherlock grow into the good man that Lestrade told John he could be, but you're right that this has also been a story of John's growth. Lovely work -- thank you!
