Sherlock - The Great Game

Of course I loved it, will watch it again 300 times, pre-ordered the DVD and already unconciously started imitating The Cumb's hand movements (my boss, sitting next to me "What was that?"; really happened, haha).

Everything you said, as usual :). Except that I think that Moffat and Gatiss will get her right. I have great faith in their dedication to the books, they've shown only minor slip-ups in the first 3 Eps; they won't give Sherlock a romantic interest, I think I even read an interview with Moffat where he explicitely stated that they have this out of the way with the "not really my area" conversation.

One thing I never really understood is how can anyone read SCAN and not get it? Yes, I know, there are certain "rules" in the movie world, bla bla, but the fans? There are so many dedicated Sherlockians, forever debating timelines and first names, and when it comes to Irene they all completely ignore poor Watson's writings :).
I think with Molly Hooper (and, to a degree, Sarah) we have seen how Sherlock can be around females he doesn't respect - this would be a great setup for Irene to change his perceptions about women. I really, really hope that we get a more mature, self-assured Irene as well, someone who he could imagine as a partner, if he wasn't, well, Sherlock Holmes. That's what I always saw in the "The Woman" thing: Sherlock's idea of what could have been in an alternate world, where he was interested in the "softer emotions", and she wasn't married :). But of course, only in theory!
