The psychopath/sociopath line is the moment I fell in love with Sherlock, even if it's not technically correct. Claiming the term, embracing what people say about him, and drawing a line that means something to him even if they can't see the difference. No apologies or excuses, just an emphasis on what he's able to do with it that justifies everything, along with a bit of arrogance that they can't see that. *loves*
The "Not good" exchange is interesting. I think you're exactly right, that his head got ahead of his mouth and just couldn't keep up. Love how that moment is all about making John understand, and the rest are just witnesses to it. Until he thinks he's failed, and turns back to the job as a fallback.
Oooh, didn't catch John heading back for his cane. Must look for it on the rewatch. :)
They're so adorable, giggling at the crime scene. I just love their dynamic together. Treating Sherlock like he's normal is the secret, and it does seem to work both ways. Links back to what you said about Sherlock acknowledging John's need for action/mayhem/excitement and not judging him for it. They fill the same need for each other.
