Sherlock and John Watson
Great comforting scene and a truly beautiful bromance. No spoilers but if you haven't watched this BBC series, you are missing out!
"...men do not cry. They will do anything BUT cry. They stop themselves crying. And eventually they do cry if it is bad enough. So that's how you know with a man how bad it is for him. Because he would've stopped himself...Men always cry like that. They don't cry and in the end they do and if they do then it's overwhelming." ~Michael Caine

How wonderful!! Scenes with men comforting other men in such a tactile way are so rare that seeing one is, for me, like a dream come true!

Awww. Lovely.

Wow, those tears dripping, especially in the version without music!

Re: Sherlock and John Watson
I also love that it seems really natural for Sherlock, like he just knows he needs to hug him, but it highlights the love between these two that he feels comfortable doing that as he in other areas of life would be very uncomfortable with that level of intimacy. In short, I like it that much more since it seems to out of character for him

Good point! For me it's always a delightful surprise and most moving whenever a character reveals an unexpected tenderness.

Re: Sherlock and John Watson
Was there any other crying related to the major plot point he is crying over here? (Trying not to give away spoilers. I heard about what happened, but haven't had time to watch this season.)
