I think the reason why people praise Martin Freeman so much for this episode is evident in this gifset. Sure, the episode is primarily about Sherlock’s fall from grace, his demise. But what about the people he leaves behind?
Look at the middle gif. Here you’ve got Martin expressing a thousand words and emotions in one single look. There’s the furrowed eyebrows of confusion followed by wide eyes of understanding. First there’s, Why would Sherlock lie about something like this? overlapped with the realization that He had to send me away. Distract me, to the inevitable Oh, God. He’s in trouble.
And then in his uttering of “Oh, my God,” there’s a part of him wondering—with whatever’s going on, whatever Sherlock’s doing or about to do—if he might be too late.
tl;dr: Martin Freeman, how do you ACTING?

I lost it at “Hey~”
I lost it at everything. Perfection.
Look at The Promise, now back to this comic, now back to The Promise, now back to this comic.
Sadly, The Promise isn’t this comic, but if it stopped making the fans writhe with exasperation and switched to good characterization, it could be enjoyable like this.
Look down, back up, what are you looking at? Two panels of the comic that The Promise could be like. What’s in your daydreams, back at this. This comic has it, it’s joking interaction shared between two characters with those personalities that are IC.
Look again, the comic is now Toph-made diamonds.
Anything is possible when The Promise isn’t giving you face-palm induced concussions.

“I’m on a flying bison.”
Awesome. xD
Personally, I like The Promise so far. Yes, it has its -admittedly huge- flaws, but overall, I think it’s decent.
Look again, the comic is now Toph-made diamonds.
