Finally got a chance to catch up on the episodes, and I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the introduction of Moriarty. Not unless it turns out that there actually is a connection between all the murders, anyway. I want Moriarty the criminal genius, not Moriarty the serial killer, thank you very much.
I'm okay with Irene being dead, and even with her being Holmes's One True Love, as it precludes him turning Watson into a romantic interest. He can continue to use prostitutes and experiments to relieve his tensions and I don't have to put up with the writers wanting to nudge the two characters together romantically. It is annoying on one level, but the only person who's ever gotten Irene right after ACD is Carole Nelson Douglas anyway.
Yes, I'm thankful that Robert Doherty has no intention of turning Holmes/Watson into a romantic pairing. Their friendship is so much more interesting and it's growing stronger every week. Ugh, I just love it.
I, too, am glad that Irene is dead and I really hope that she actually is. No more plot twists, there, please. *yawn*
I'm a bit skeptical about Moriarty and really hope it's not a super-long story arc that lasts two seasons like it did for BBC Sherlock.
