You have a BEST friend Sherlock: John Watson. It's time to get serious everyone. Sherlock and John are not boyfriends, we need to appreciate their friendship for what it is. That said, I get that the whole Sherlock/John thing started as a joke, then got serious, and now we need to recognise it as a joke again. They're friends. Best friends and great friends. To the end. :-)
He was sweating on his neck when he said "I don't have friends", he also said it in a feirce, out of character manner, I bet he was drugged or something.
Remember that although the Reichenbach (sorry if spelled wrong) Falls portrayed his apparent death, he was ressurected for more stories. So even though this series has the Reichenbach falls in it, there's still a chance he could live for more series' .
"I don't have friends." - this might be Sherlock's way of trying to prove that he doesn't have feelings, that he doesn't have a heart. Moriarty got that he has a heart, that he has feelings, and it must be maddening for Sherlock that his archenemy figured him out that easily.
Anyone else figure out that the titles of all these little trailers are anagrams of "sherlock returns"? or am i just feeling like i'm smart when really everyone else figured it out.
Incidentally it seems a bit of a paradox, which may or may not be addressed in-episode. Sherlock is aloof and standoffish with just about everyone, even his own brother, and wouldn't say something as vulnerable as that if he actually didn't consider John a friend.
I've NOT seen this yet so I can't possibly be spoiling, but my interpretation of "I don't have friends" is that Sherlock's just spent half an episode being outwitted by Irene Adler. Possibly Mycroft too. Since his ONLY self-esteem comes from being smarter than everyone else and he feels it's the only thing he's got going for him, he now feels like complete and utter shit. But we'll see when it airs, I suppose.
@Jeowyn -- Actually, in the books, in canon, Irene is the only woman - and one of four people(?) - to have ever outwitted Holmes; this is one of the factors influencing his...affinity for her. Also Mycroft is said - in the books, in canon - to be smarter than Sherlock, but lazier; and, therefore, does not appear [to be] as smart.
Sherlock is a most brilliant man. His smartness and wit, however, are only two of his wonderful aspects/strengths. :-)
@sierra087 Indeed, but he seems not to know that. Meeting strangers is an exercise in LOOKIT ME! I'M SMART! for him. Mycroft's abilities might be one of a few reasons why he resents him (there's apparently also backstory concerning their parents that will come out at some point.) Although he does come to respect Irene because of her mental qualities, he's still trying to outwit her here, and (from what I hear and it's only been vague) fails utterly and becomes depressed mid-episode.
I get the feeling that the 'no friends' is part of Sherlock's plan to get John away, if its in ep3. Knowing what the Reichenbach fall is and that even in the book Sherlock didn't want John there. In any case I can't wait!
Pretty much the same in the movie (Sherlock Holmes 2) John Watson was great, the look he and Sherlock shared before the fall was amazing so much subtext, very heartbreaking... can't wait for Reichenbach in the second season!!!
no, sherlock your right... you don't have friends...... YOU HAVE JOHN'S AND THATS WAAAAY MUCH BETTER!!! (you even have your own private army of sherlockians and cumberbitches so i'd say your allright.......okay who am i kiddin.... YOUR FRICKIN AWSOME!!!!)
I think when Sherlock says that he doesn't have friends, it sounds as though he's kind of angry/upset at everybody that's ever said "Sherlock Holmes doesn't have friends" and that he's heard it so much he's starting to believe it himself. If that makes sense.
@Shaindl Exactly! He looks so upset when he says it so obviously something else is going on, and he's afraid to let himself get to close to John, I think. I can't wait either!!
He sounded very disgusted when he said the word "friends". I think it might have something to do with breaking ties with John, knowing that they're going to die (assuming the scene is from reichenbach and they are tied up due to moriarty). Up until this point, Sherlock hasn't really had anything important to lose, he thinks he's invincible. But knowing that they are in this situation, it could be that he either wants to break ties because he doesn't know how to handle this situation this relati
@TheDreamingMaya Maybe it could be related to the scene in The Blind Banker where Sherlock introduces John to Sebastian as his "friend" and then John corrects: "Colleagues"...
@AdenaKaiba@TheDreamingMaya I hope it is related to the "friend/colleague" correction that occurred. To me that scene seemed like Sherlock was trying to open up a little and got totally shut down by John. :-( Hope they mend things. So bloody pissed off I can not see the show until May. (I'm American living in the USA. So hard having to wait for British programs to be brought over.)

No she was supposedly beheaded which is when she texted Sherlock for the last time.
However it turned out that the person who was supposed to kill her was actually Sherlock,who whispered to her to run.
So in all likelihood she is still alive.
Btw,Sherlock did not text her he was just browsing the text he got from her

Hey, Steven Moffat! I'd just like to say something.
If you leave us at Reichenbach with absolutely no hope, with everyone thinking that Sherlock is dead and the audience half-believing the same?
I will track you down and stab you in your sleep. Multiple times. Until your body is mauled beyond recognition and you are very much dead.
That's all :)
