I would die for Jasper
Watson looking after his husband yet again:

Similar to the Lestrade situation, I was very surprised by Granada's pronunciations of Irene Adler's name. I always pronounced it 'eye-reen' (the English pronunciation) but they pronounce it 'ih-rain-ah' (the German pronunciation).
If another way, how do you pronounce it? Feel free to tell me in the comments! 😊
POST-POLL ANALYSIS:

Reading the books, I always said 'Lestrade' like 'leh-strahd' so hearing it pronounced 'leh-strayd' in Granada Holmes was an honest-to-god jumpscare.
It can actually be pronounced either way though because one is the French pronunciation and the other is the English, so...
If you picked 'another way', how do you pronounce it? 😊 Feel free to pop it in the comments
POST-POLL ANALYSIS:
The poll has ended! 🥳 Woop woop! Thank you to everyone who voted! Over 1000 votes is absolutely crazy! As well as it being incredibly lovely to have so many votes, a larger group of people makes the poll more accurate in terms of percentages and averaging (Woohoo! Statistics!).

Watson Wednesday! Friend, colleague and faithful companion.
Holmes throwing his newspaper because Watson isn't giving him attention:
(Also I had to add Watson's little head bobs at the start)
Holmes interacts with flowers twice in The Naval Treaty. One of which he admires, and the other he gives to Mrs. Hudson as a sign of gratitude.
I find it fascinating how he can pretend to be so unfeeling and purely logical, yet he allows himself to see the beauty in things as romantic and simple as music or flowers. Holmes handles the rose (in the left picture) so tenderly. In this scene, he is confronted for becoming distracted and even seems to have forgotten about the case entirely. Holmes finds comfort in nature (even if he pretends he hates it), as we see later in the episode:
Both interactions with flowers are in the presence of other people. It's as though Holmes can justify affection, but only if it is directed towards an object and not a person. Perhaps because he knows said object cannot reciprocate those feelings. When he gives Mrs. Hudson a flower, he's showing his affection for her through it instead of to her directly.
In a way, I feel as though Holmes expresses his love through acts of service as we see him give others gifts, like when he gives Watson his favourite type of cigars in A Scandal in Bohemia. I feel he prefers this method as there is less attention on him and his feelings, and more on the gift itself.

Holmes in his gay little cream-coloured hat and suit
Bonus: Holmes with a hoRse (in his cream suit)
Holmes: *calls children varmints*
Also Holmes: *employs a bunch of children to help him on his cases and even reads them classical literature*
(I love how he goes pSST like they're cats 🤣)
Edit: @malcolm-f-tucker informed me that he said 'varmints' instead of 'vermin', so I changed it

Holmes helping Watson impress Lestrade with his deductions:
I love how Watson looks so proud of himself 😂
Watson being authoritative... and Holmes liking it:
Okay so Holmes enjoys being ordered about, got it 👍🏻
Just two husbands enjoying their evening together and flirting...
...there is no heterosexual explanation for this
He looks so uncomfortable 🥺
But some truly remarkable acting from Jeremy here. Holmes isn't used to receiving gratitude in such an intimate way, not even wanting to touch her hand for very long. It's almost as though we see Holmes try to calibrate what he should do in real time, his arm going around to hold her but stopping himself. We see him pry her off gently, and he then realises he's holding this young lady's hand. So he proceeds to flick it away. With a mute apology, he distances himself from her, preferring to stand at the window and have his back to his guests. It all happens very quickly.
I'm not entirely sure why Holmes reacts this way, but it's very characteristic of him.
