And why, WHY, must she always be working for Moriarty? Why can't she just be a kickass criminal mastermind in her own right? I've never actually really liked the character of Moriarty that much. Irene is COOLER than he is.

Seriously. Why does this come up in both the recent versions of Sherlock Holmes? Why?

I mean, yeah, there were some plot holes and minor pacing issues too, but those were the sorts of things I can gloss over.

And there was a lot to be amused by- like the clients montage at the beginning. But Moffat just had to go and spew his misogyny over my enjoyment...
