7. "I Love You"

One of the big criticisms of Sherlock since Season 3 is the way it's seemingly pandered to sections of its audience, creating not scenes but moments that purely exist to be gif'd and reposted thousands of times on Tumblr.

While a few such moments occurred here, none were more obvious than his conversation with Molly, whom he must get to say "I love you."

You really have to feel for Molly in this moment, with the show just abusing her even more than they have done. While she's mostly been treated as completely disposable, this goes into emotional torture. And then, of course, it's all pretty much forgotten about.
