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.

More detailed thoughts once I've had a chance to , hehm, rewatch.
In general I loved seeing so much of Mrs Hudson and Mycroft, though I did think the "allknowing-ness" of Sherlock was a bit over the top, as was the levitiy in the beginning of the ep. Though I didn't mind the meta on fandom and John's " They think I am gay no matter what I say":D
Interestingly enough I understood most lines. I was worried by watching livestream that I wouldn't understand a lot. Watching the first season for the first time I understood only half of it. Only subtitles saved me. But apparently I 've gotten used to Sherlock''s way of talking. There were only very few lines I didn't get.

WORD WORD WORD! And I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED how Sherlock went all, "MYCROFT!" when Mycroft told Mrs Hudson to shut up. YES. AND HOW SHERLOCK BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE GUY BECAUSE HE ATTACKED MRS HUDSON.
I didn't catch the Düsseldorf bit :( I guess I was too shocked the live stream actually worked.
True that! I got most of the episode, too. Ha! My brain is working on Sherlock-speed apparently :-)
I loved how everybody kept referring to John & Sherlock as "boys". Awww, BOYS!

Here's what I meant to say in reply to your edited entry:
Edited to include your edit:
Basically word to everything.
While I don't mind Sherlock rescuing Adler, it would also have been very fitting if he hadn't. It was of course clear that he knew John was lying and I guess that john knew that too and used that not to have to actually tell Sherlock.
But it would also have been fitting if they'd ended the ep with the showing of the text message.

Nope, afraid not :-(

I liked that entire scene and I wish they would have ended it on the sending of the text message. I mean, it did nicely went full cicle in regard to Mycroft's comment how only Sherlock could outsmart him but even so...I like my endings bittersweet. It felt a bit deus ex machina.

When they are at the car of that person that was supposed to be on a plane but was in a trunk instead, Lestrade mentionssomething about theplane coming from Düsseldorf.
Also as of now I ship Mycroft/Mrs Hudson. Mrs Hudson is the only one who can make Mycroft loosehis temper. Not even Sherlock in a sheet in Buckingham Palace can do that.

Aaaaaaah. Very cool. I'll be flying from Düsseldorf to Heathrow in February--as of now, that shall be an hour of geekdom. Except for the dead people.
OMG JUST REWATCHED IT: RUPERT GRAVES SAYS "DÜSSELDORF" --not DUSSELDORF. I LOVE HIM.
