OMG!

I'm not super into the source material, but I remember doing some research on Irene Adler when the show first mentioned her and their was this great piece on Irene and how she had been really done an injustice in previous incarnations where she's portrayed as a hyper-sexualized femme-fatale that gets cast aside when Moriarty appears on the scene and they were saying that this sort of comes about because it's awkward having two people be foils to Sherlock. Well the show runners of this neatly dealt with that didn't they?

I'm probably the only person in the world who wasn't a fan of Natalie Dormer being cast as Irene and I found her scenes as that character kind of dull and unconvincing (even in the flashbacks) but OMG that reveal that she was Moriarty was glorious. I loved her dialogue with Homes ("Are you saying we're the same?" "I'm saying I'm better"), loved her scene with Watson, loved everything.
