This is what I do:   1. I observe everything.   2. From what I observe, I deduce everything   3. When I’ve eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how mad it might seem, must be the truth.

It’s mad. I think he might be mad. He was certainly arrogant and really quite rude and he looks about 12 and he’s clearly a bit public school and, yes, I definitely think he might be mad but he was also strangely likeable. He was charming. It really was all just a bit strange. - John Watson

Top Five Watson-Is-Awesome Moments#2 - Nads of Steel

Sherlock: Bullet they just dug out of the wall was from a handgun. Kill shot over that distance from that kind of a weapon, that’s a crack shot we’re looking for, but not just a marksman, a fighter. His hands couldn’t have shaken at all so clearly he’s acclimatized to violence. He didn’t fire until I was in immediate danger, though, so strong moral principle. You’re looking for a man probably with a history of military service and nads of steel…
Sherlock: Good shot.Watson: Yes, must have been, through that window.Sherlock: You’d know.

Do I have to explain? John Watson has nads of steel and he’s in your abandoned buildings foiling your evil plans and saving his boyfriend’s colleague’s life. He also looks really hot holding a gun.

Top Five Watson-Is-Awesome Moments#4 - “I took a photograph.”

Sherlock: Shh, John, concentrate. I need you to concentrate. Close your eyes.Watson: What, what, why? Why? What are you doing?Sherlock: I need you to maximize your visual memory, try to picture what you saw. Can you picture it?Watson: Yeah.Sherlock: Can you remember it?Watson: Yes, definitely.Sherlock: Can you remember the pattern?Watson: Yes.Sherlock: How much can you remember it?Watson: Well, don’t worry-Sherlock: Because the average human memory on visual matters is only 62% accurate.Watson: Yeah well, don’t worry, I remember all of it.Sherlock: Really?Watson: Yeah, well at least I would, if I could get to my pockets. I took a photograph.

I love this moment because Watson makes amazing faces while Sherlock is spinning him in circles, and then he’s just like “I took a photograph, idiot.” I mean, the “idiot” part is totally right there in the tone of his voice and I love those moments when Watson is like “got you there, genius!” Also, way to go Watson for having the presence of mind to take a photo of the graffitti before running off to get Sherlock.

Top Five Watson-Is-Awesome Moments#1 - Watson Is A Total BAMF

Sherlock: That, uh… that thing… that you… that you offered to do, that was… good.Watson: I’m glad no one saw that.Sherlock: Hmm?Watson: You, ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool. People might talk.Sherlock: People do little else.

THIS WHOLE SCENE. From how deadpan calm he is when he’s got explosives strapped to his chest, to that thing he offered to do for his boyfriend, to the fact that he’s cracking jokes as soon as the explosives are off, to his implacable reaction to Moriarty’s return… John Watson is a BAMF and he is MORE AWESOME THAN YOU.
