Guys I don’t know If you’ve seen it, but in a recent interview with Steven Moffat, this is what he said…

“I think people get under his skin and I think possibly without him even realising so John and Mrs Hudson definitely, he’s very fond of her, and he’s actually terribly fond of Lestrade. He doesn’t know it yet but he is. I think he got to him in a way he hadn’t been got to before. It just sort of happened. And it happened in the stories too.”

SO, YEAH, THAT. LET ME DIE IN ALL THE SHERLOCK/LESTRADE EMOTIONS. Here it is. http://www.universityobserver.ie/2012/02/22/steven-moffat-the-full-transcript/
