    The Sherlock TV one? Yeah ... that was interesting. Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't watched the episode:

    Spoiler:
    A lot of people over here were deeply unimpressed about having so much of Irene's character/ability to deceive based on sex when that first came out, rather than flat-out brains. Or about her being helpless at the end until being saved by a man with a sword. Made a big fuss in some of the more left-wing media. I wasn't entirely comfortable with it - but not outraged either. Hm.

    It's because she walked into the room naked, isn't it? :P

    ^ well, I'm not an expert of Holmes stories, but I found her portrait realistic... in our modern setting.

    I actually expected her to do that the moment she said 'battledress'. You won't believe how many times I've come across it in my life, the weird things I've seen...

    Anyway, I'm just quite shocked at the way they over stressed her sex appeal. I quite expected her to be of the intelligent and independent woman, which she was, surely, but the addition of this new trait was...well, I can't pinpoint exactly how I feel about it right now, but I was able to cope with it though, and I'm able to appreciate the effect of her influence on Sherlock.
