As If Men Have A Monopoly On Murder

THIS SHOW IS A FUCKING GIFT.

THIS SHOW IS A FUCKING GIFT.

IRENE IS AN ART FORGER.

IRENE IS AN ASSASSIN.

IRENE IS MORIARTY.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, IRENE ADLER IS MORIARTY.

BETTER THAN I HOPED FOR. YOU WERE BETTER THAN I HOPED FOR.

HOLMES CONTINUED TO HAVE ACTUAL FEELINGS AND PRIORITIZE EMOTIONAL NEEDS AND TRUTHS OVER ~BEING RIGHT~ AND ~SOLVING THE CASE~.

HE NAMED A BEE SPECIES AFTER WATSOM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL EMOTIONS CORRECTLY AT THE MOMENT.

THAT WAS AN HOUR AND A HALF OF TWO MUCH AWESOME HA THAT WAS A LIE, NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH AWESOME.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE AWESOME IN AN AWESOME LADY ASSASSIN AND AN AWESOME LADY DETECTIVE AND AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING GENIUS DETECTIVE.

MY SQUEE OVER THIS EPISODE CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

I had a wish that Irene would turn out to be Moriarty. I never expected to be right!

WELL DONE, SHOW!

I was flailing wildly very 15 minutes or so with ALL THE REVELATIONS. Awesome just doesn't cover it.

When Moriarity walked in in her badass leather with her killer Brit accent...

Jonny Lee Miller and his face!

And I loved Watson's quiet delight at the end.

I spent episodes assuming my need would be unfulfilled because when I hope for awesome things from a show that give women more weight, they don't happen. And then last night happened! (And CBS Puerto Rico cut off the ending so I spoiled myself to see if there was a mistake and then downloaded the episodes to watch the last ten minutes. >:| ) And everything I wanted came to pass, and Irene was Moriarty! And Watson was not a mascot, and she plotted with Holmes and took Irene down! (Temporarily I assume, but that makes things more potentially wonderful later anyway.)

This is the best new show I have seen in years. (As opposed to my having to go to older shows to get things I want. Like Xena.)

That quote pretty much made the episode.

Also, your gif, I cannot stop staring at it.

Irene is better than Holmes BUT SHE ISN'T BETTER THAN JOAN

I saw this post before I saw the eps and thought it was more hopeful speculation.

Even then, my mind was BLOWN.

I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

I just watched it. That finale was everything I've ever wanted, in so many ways. I kind of can't believe it happened.

This show is SUCH a gift! Ahhhh! Just watched the last ep and I was squeeing so hard. I tweeted: " Irene in RDJ movies: dead, Irene in #sherlock: dominatrix, Irene in #elementary: the master. #frakyeah" :D
