In The Reichenbach Fall, the part that made me cry the hardest, was when John said “He’s my friend!” when trying to get to Sherlock.
I don’t know why, but that just destroyed me.

This bit was the beginning of my own personal descent into a snot-ridden sobbing mess that culminated in the graveside scene and my husband coming downstairs to find out what the hideous wailing noise was. 

They place such an importance on the word “friend” throughout the series and when John needs to get to him, get to his friend, he can’t. It destroyed me too. 

And the way he says it. Desperate. Begging. Quivering. Like the sound of resonating glass, right before it completely shatters.
