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.

I'm very much a fan of the original story, and so it just disappoints me that her character is continually made to fling herself at him. The two of them barely spoke two sentences to each other in the original, and though Holmes admired and had a crush on her, it was more for her mind and her talents as a singer.
It makes me sad that a woman can't be strong and independent and have her own life (Adler was married with Holmes being a witness in the original) without being turned into a love interest for the hero. I think it takes away from both of the characters and the story.

Yes, because she knew it was the only way she knew she could rattle him. Remember that Moriarty told her his nickname for Sherlock is "The Virgin". So from their first meeting, she knew that was the one thing he probably did not expect and didn't know how to deal with. And once she realised that plan actually worked, she continued doing it. She was sexual towards Sherlock all through the episode because it kept him off his game. And it obviously worked, because he only realised she'd played him when Mycroft told him.

That is why I'm bothered. Because rather than have her outwit him with her brains, she apparently can only do so by womanly charms. I'm sorry, but I appreciated Adler because she was talented and smart, not because she could throw her boobs in Holmes face.
