"Sherlock and Irene act like they're in some special genius club that no one else can ever understand and then Watson comes along and figures them out anyway, maybe because she's not as egotistical and seems to rely more on hard work than any amazing 'genius' status."

Hm, yes, I was very wary of Sherlock and Irene being the "brilliant white people club." Like I haven't seen that on screen my entire life! The thing that impresses and surprises me about Joan is that her kind of intelligence is not necessarily of the same "style" as Holmes, which makes her an equal with him. Her intuition and insight into human behavior and relationships (e.g. her sensing when the Moriarty case was getting too close to being a trigger) have been quite valuable throughout the season. She's also strong analytically and brings her medical expertise.

WHAT CAN I SAY, THE WOMAN IS JUST THE COMPLETE PACKAGE???

I'm excited to see what they'll do in season 2. They've established Watson as warm, strong and smart, but I would love to see her "undone" and vulnerable--because women can be complex like that (not always perfect all the time). I want some moments where Sherlock is there for HER, not just her always being there for him.
