John going into military form at the end was striking because you know he would have broken down sobbing otherwise.
John going into military form actually makes it more heartbreaking, in my opinion - because you see John fall back on the only coping mechanism he has, and also, it's a mark of the respect that John has for Sherlock as well.
I don't even know what to do with my feelings now that series 2 is over. I really hope that it's only a year until the next series, I don't see it being any shorter than that, but I also don't see how it needs to be longer.
