I loved this episode but hate the modern take of Adler as a con woman. She's one of the only (maybe only) strong female character in the Holmes universe. I doubt Conan Doyle would care as he was pretty liberal on the use of Holmes et al.

This show has some great writing and is intriguing, but there so few in a season. However, I always prefer quality over quantity. "Scandal" was superb. Haven't watched Hounds yet, but I have a feeling it's more or less there as the one story with which almost everyone is familiar.
EDIT: Apparently the actress who played Irene Adler also played Sookie Stackhouse's fairy relative on True Blood. Thought she looked familiar.

The short seasons don't bother me at all, I prefer that they keep each story a full 90 min instead of breaking it into two traditional episodes.

Just read last night that season 3 is going to start shooting in 2013. That is such a long time away!
Anyone know why the creators of the show just limit it to 3 shows each season?

Probably simple quality. Plus they're 90-minute movies so if you break it up, it's like 9 or 10 episodes of other shows.

Forgot to record this 3rd episode. Figures that my local affiliate doesn't seem to re-air it all during the week. Ugh.

Just finished watching Fall, then hit the net about the theories generated by the climax. Noted some pics of scenes apparently edited from the PBS version, which was a bummer. However, I am so ready for series 3 now!

I just re-watched the Reichenbach Fall episode and noticed something peculiar. Without giving anything away, someone please check out the final scene when Mrs Hudson walks away from Watson...and keep an eye on Mrs. Hudson. What the heck just happened there?

Would you mind explaining what happened? You can put spoilers around it. I have no way of rewatching the episode. Thanks

Something I didn't understand about the finale is how they never addressed a dead Moriarty (dead from a self-inflicted gun shot) on top of the building. I mean, if they get days ahead to Sherlock's "funeral", that's something that should've come up, right?

Regardless of if Moriarty's dead or not, leaving out the detail of whether or not there was a body on the roof reveals their laziness in plotting.
