I love reading your thoughts in these rewatches. You always bring up some points I never noticed.
And is Sherlock's code really "Vatican cameos?" I thought he said "fatigues and cameos"--or at least that's what it sounded like to me and made sense army clothes=gun or duck down...
And yes, it's "Vatican cameos" - it's a reference to ACD canon and a case that they talk about, but don't actually show. So, it's like a little inside joke, I think.
I like how, once again, Sherlock and John have a little domestic argument in the middle of a case - in front of a naked woman no less. At the beginning Sherlock and Irene are too busy staring at each other and completely ignore John. But now Sherlock and John are having one of their couply moments, completely ignoring her, and she doesn't like it one bit. :)
And this is where Sherlock should realize that he's only part of the game being played - that the photos aren't actually the case. What remains to be seen, or considered, is whether Sherlock ever realizes that this is a game between Irene(Moriarty) and Mycroft... arguably, I don't think he ever does, not really, not until he's told.That's the central question. I don't think so, either. I would say that Sherlock realises that a bigger game is being played, that Mycroft is one of the players and that Irene is being played by someone. Though he doesn't know yet by whom. Once the Americans enter the scene, he can't be sure whether Irene actually is the villain that he ought to
( ... )
His main delusion is that he thinks he's free to pick whatever side turns out to be the one that deserves his support. He doesn't realise that he isn't a free player, either. Does that make sense?
That makes perfect sense!
And now she gets another part - Sherlock actually being sweet and trying to make things up to her. So yes, she counts. Only she's hurting too much right now to notice it.
