It's BBC's forthrightness about his lack of empathy, etc. that makes me love the series so much. And despite the fact that John is generally willing to do what Sherlock tells him to do, he isn't the pushover that Watson can be, because he is willing to tell Sherlock when he's being wrong.
I have thought a bit about the Reichenbach issue, and I recently learned that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was (see discussion here: http://goldvermilion87.livejournal.com/72341.html) but I hope John will still be less easygoing than Watson was.
