SHERLOCK \0/ \0/ \0/ \0/ \0/
THAT WAS COMPLETELY AWESOME. Just so you know.
Halfway through the episode I realised that Gisborne's sister was in the episode. HAI ISABELLA. This time without frizz hair?
ANYWAY: ANY THOUGHTS ON 2x01, PEOPLE?
(Also, thank you Live stream for only dying on me twice. I wish you and I would work this well together on Merlin, too.)
ETA: OKAY, SOME THOUGHTS.
LOVED the frequent ferences to Sherlock and John behaving like little boys. BLESS! I love how their relationship has developed. They actually seem like pals now and are basically sort of developing into movie!Holmes and Watson. YAY!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED Sherlock apologising to Molly. John's good influence? ALSO OMG HOW ADORABLE ARE SHERLOCK AND MRS HUDSON? I loved how protective he is of her and how well she knows him and how badass she actually is. Loved Mycroft, too. Even liked Irene Adler (though I wish Sherlock hadn't saved her in the end. I don't mind her coming back but I wish he wouldn't know she's alive). Loved how Mycroft and John were worried for him. LOVED THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE SCENE. Loved John saying he isn't gay even though no one believes him :p Loved Sherlock playing the violin!
Kind of loved...everything, really?
ETA2: Rupert Graves I love you for getting the Umlaut in "Düsseldorf" right, instead of just going with the easier "Dusseldorf". You rock.

In the whole story, Holmes talks to her maybe twice. But she had been warned about his use of disguise, so she was able to recognize what was happening and outsmarted him.
There was at no point a love story between them, at all! Holmes admired her for her brains and the ability to outwit him, and he did have a bit of a crush on her. But that was it. He admired her.
Most adaptations have somehow taken that story and turned her into a sexpot and turned admiration into a love story.
Sorry, it just drives me up the wall. Irene Adler was smart and talented, but she wasn't a sex obsessed person or in love with Holmes. And I hate how there hasn't really been a good interpretation of the story since the Brett one.

That's annoying of course, then. :-( I guess sex and love have become such a "must" in modern television and movies that the writers feel they have to seize every chance to squeezing one in--and Irene Adler probably offers the best chance of doing that because of possible UST. I could certainly live without it :-/
