[quote=TiredPilgrim;5505058] I love this question!!!
Mine is Dr. John Watson in the BBC series Sherlock. When I watched The Reichenbach Fall I cried for what Sherlock put John through. It felt especially personal to me because my late first husband committed suicide, so watching John try to talk Sherlock out of what to him must have looked like a genuine suicide was really tough emotionally. My late first husband died over a decade ago, but I had kids to raise, so I guess I never really grieved a lot.
Even though you know Sherlock is still alive at the end of TRF, it didn't make me feel better really, because I was so upset and hurt that Sherlock could do something like that to John, that he could hurt John so much.
Well, I agree, but then John knew Sherlock was a high functioning sociopath and being a doctor John would know the ramifications of befriending a sociopath, and he may have even suspected that Sherlock was still alive, Sherlock being a genius at deception. Because that's essentially the meaning behind what he said at Sherlock's grave. I love the BBC series even though they make the fans wait far too long for new episodes. John Watson is every bit a complex character as Sherlock. I love them both.  PS Sherlock is a brat.
