Well, concerning Mycroft at the end: What he said was that it would take Sherlock to fool him. And well, it did, right? *g* I'm also not really sure whether there really was a massacre - we don't see that. It could've been elaborately staged by Sherlock. That's a bit "wishi-waschi" there.^^
I'm not really angry about what they did at the end, that Irene actually is attracted to Sherlock. I think they just didn't want to let her win everything. Or as I tried to explain over at my LJ, although I'm not sure I managed it: It perhaps was a pride thing. I think the attraction is more intellectual than sexual, although Irene seems to be also interested in Sherlock _like that_. The problem was likely that they brought Jim into this. *sigh*
1) Aside from the obvious S/J love and that awesome scene with irene and John - it seems also to confirm that Mummy is dead. That actually Sherlock and Mycrodt only have each other. I felt so for Mycrodt in that Christmas scene. 2) I don't ship Jim/Sherlock. *shrugs* I don't even have to talk me into not shipping them, because in this series? I'm very exclusive with my pairing. *g* 3) Yes! This was so great and stressed so perfectly how much Sherlock cares for her. Also, Mrs. H being frightened but still being all badass and actually taking the phone with her. England would be lost, indeed! 4) What are you refering to here? What did he learn? I'm probably just dense right now, it's late and I couldn't sleep yesterday after watching the episode... deal with me. 8) The opening was FTW, seriously! The Speckled Blonde, Hat-man and Robin... XDD 9)Wasn't it?! That was such a surprise and I loved it! So wonderfully un-dramatic. I loved Jim in this ep, period. He's just so fucking creepy!
