Ah I guess

some people think that

people saying that Irene ended up being weak/needed to be rescued in the end

automatically are people who hate her in general

or don’t want her here

or something

when in fact

most people saying that about Irene fucking love her

and just thought she deserved an end that was true to her cleverness and greatness

or something

idk maybe i am just bullshitting around now

can you tell i like to hear myself talk

This yes. I loved the episode, Irene was so much more than I’d hoped, but the last 20 minutes or so just felt strange and confusing with respect to her story. ACD wasn’t afraid to have a woman outwit Sherlock in 1888, why are we afraid to do so in 2012?

    I really wanted her to have a better ending than that. Yes, it proved Sherlock was clever, yadda yadda yadda. We know...
