Okay, Sherlock time.
I just love the way the original stuff is being transformed. This hits me in my Sherlock Holmes fan places, in my high production values places, my good media places, and my zomgtransformativeworks places.

Oh, nicely done with the violin.
Sherlock enumerates John's girlfriends.
“
Oh dear, John's girlfriends.
Molly comes in, with a lot of tits.
“
Lestrade, stop looking so gobsmacked
FAST-FORWARD HERE IF YOU EMBARRASSMENT SQUICK. Basically Sherlock analyzes Molly in the usual fashion and reveals that she's in love with someone, and he's not very nice about it, and then he finds out it's him. He apologizes.
“
oh Sherlock

oh. dear. um. That was awkward
Sherlock gets Irene's phone.
“

Really, this is sort of the appropriate time for a cigarette.
Molly is there. And then John's (now ex) girlfriend. Painful.

And here is Irene, and Irene ignores Sherlock.
“
Muahahaha
And Sherlock wins vs. Irene; she was emotionally involved.
“
Dude, don't play games like that with an ace.
Mycroft is making John do the dirty work. And Irene is dead. Oh fuck no. :(
“
Unless Moriarity was involved. But. Aaaaa. Aaa. aa. :(
John tells Sherlock she's in witness protection. He's not being really ... ow, this hurts to watch.
“
Oh John. You lie so transparently.
Sherlock demands the phone.
“
And you can't deny your boyfriend anything.
Very Texts From Last Night. And she's gonna dii -- THERE'S THAT TEXT ALERT SOUND. I KNOW THOSE BLUE EYES.
“
ahhh. <3
And there's the satisfying ending I wanted. I would have been so mad if -- yeah. No.
From the but-she's-a-lesbian commentary that I caught little bits of on the Twitter:
I actually have no problem reconciling Irene being a lesbian with Irene working as a dominatrix. While BDSM and bits-involved sex can happen together, it doesn't have to, and I don't really read Irene as the sort of pro Domme who actually has intercourse with clients unless she is all for the idea.
I read Irene as sapiosexual, primarily attracted to women, but fascinated with Sherlock's brain enough to want to play with it. The phrase "she's a cat" may not explain everything to people who aren't me andmathsie, but that's where I'm looking. She's a cat, she does what she wants, and I don't see her bonding true-love-forever with Sherlock, but they are beautiful beautiful beautiful ... yes. Kismesis.
(Meanwhile, John and Sherlock are surely morails. I bet there's already a Homestuck crossover. Oh man. I need to read that.)

TV Pixie speculated that the HRH in the photos would have to be Princess Anne or The Queen (http://tvpixie.com/tv-news/2012/01/02/sherlock-scandal-belgravia-tactful-herd-clarksons), but I reckon Beatrice is a more viable candidate (and is the first woman in line of the throne, so would be legitimately scandalous).

Oh, Battersea. I looked at it and the words out of mine and the Husbandthing's mouths was, 'Hey, that's in Doctor Who!'

Now I am going to wonder what Sherlock prototyped his kernel with all day. One of them has got to be the SKULL.
007 was also John Dee, as well as James Bond. I would really like to know which one was being referenced because here it could really be either.
As far as I'm concerned, Irene said she was "gay" which is normally an identification used by men, and typically does not exclude the occasional foray across the Kinsey line. Some gay men have sex with women occasionally but don't fall in love with them; some gay men have been married to women. I think most gay men DON'T want to have sex with women, but gay/lesbian means that you're primarily same-sex oriented, heterosexual means you're primarily opposite-sex oriented; neither of those things mean that you will NEVER be attracted to people outside your preferred gender presentation/biological sex, never act on it, or never have a relationship with them. Bisexuality is really a category of people who are often enough attracted to/interested in people of both genders/biological sexes to identify that way and think of that as an identity, as who they are. So if Irene believes she's gay, or a lesbian, and has sex with Sherlock, and he believes he's an ace, but he agrees to it freely anyway, that doesn't make her bisexual or him sexual, it means there's something special about the way they relate to each other that crosses the lines. (I'm probably preaching to the choir here.)
Dominatrixes don't have to have sex with men, they just have to beat and humiliate them. Many of them get severely irritated when they're compared to prostitutes who fuck other people for pay. They don't even have to take their clothing off and when Irene came in nude, she was doing it as a power play.
Not everyone who practises BDSM equates it with genital sex, and a lot of people on the kink scene will only fuck women or men but will beat or allow themselves to be beaten by whoever is good at it. Irene may very well not be someone who thinks of bondage as genital sex.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
This entire commentary basically sums up my reaction throughout the episode. Fannish brain sharing.
