Mycroft's umbrella is my favorite character.

[louisemacallister]

"You're not haunted by the war, Dr Watson. You miss it" - love Mark Gatiss' delivery of that line. He's brilliant.

[ezioauditoredafirenze]

"I worry about him.. constantly" This breaks my heart, he truly loves his brother

[ariettaxylas]

That moment when you realize mycroft usually has his umbrella is because it's a gun

[narrengold]

2:10 "You're not haunted by the war, Dr. Watson. You miss it. *whisper* Welcome back."
God, I love this.

[elizamusa]

Sherlock is John's war and John's Sherlock's drug.

I love how this scene was Mycroft confronting John and trying to find out if John is a capable friend for Sherlock. Seriously Mycroft just come out and say that you're worried about your brother. God this is the most dramatic 'if you hurt him I'll hurt you' threat ever XD

[MyTeenLifeLoLTV]

Ah this scene.. This scene tricked me thinking that Mycroft was Moriarty lol

[fuzzyfaced]

I love mycroft, he complements the series very well and character is so eloquently played by Gatiss

[r.a.]

This is exactly how Mycroft should be.
Equally shrewd, clever and calculating as his younger brother. If not more.

What I love about this scene is that even though it's designed to make it look like Mycroft is Moriarty, it still completely functions when you think of him as Mycroft. Just like Sherlock, he accurately deduces Watson's PTSD symptoms and also like Sherlock he does it extremely quickly. And of course Mycroft would offer someone money to spy on Sherlock, because as we see later on in the show, that's just the weird kind of relationship they have

[chilliard]

Hey, remember that time when we all thought Mycroft was Moriarty?
Hey, remember that time when we all thought John was Moriarty?
Hey, remember that time when it turned out that Moriarty was Molly's gay boyfriend?

Rewatching this after "His Last Vow" is a must. Mycroft practically told John from the very beginning that he was addicted to dangerous lifestyles and people, and yet he couldn't believe that Mary was cut from the same cloth as Sherlock.

[hieronymousblack]

Loved Mycroft in this scene. He exudes such power, such brass.
Weird how when Mycroft uses his powers of deduction on John, he shows discomfort...it's as if he feels like his privacy is being invaded. It feels dirty.
When Sherlock does the same, however, he feels a sense of fascination. Awe.
Even before he knew either of them.
The irony in this is that the way Mycroft makes him feel is the way Sherlock usually makes people feel.
That instant bond, respect and admiration was there from the start.

Amazing writing.

[renalexis]

And flippity, flippity, flip went the umbrella.

[ggsooyoun]

the crazy thing is: we've seen Mycroft can do that crazy creepy deduction thing that Sherlock can, which means he had John completely analyzed within seconds of meeting him. and i do think he liked what he saw. someone worthy of watching over his brother

[stevenzhao]

I remember me being a smart ass and confidently telling me friend this is Moriarty...

[lokilaufeyson]

This is one of my favourite Mycroft moments

[ninaseda]

Mycroft was my favorite character from this show. Gatiss was absolutely flawless in his role. Great series!

[ezelfrancisco]

Remember when we thought Mycroft was Moriarty? Good times.
