I really do love that so far they're keeping Joan and Sherlock platonic. Will-they, won't-they ships (especially het ships) got old for me years ago, and shoehorning it in where it doesn't make sense is even worse. This show is giving us character development and feelings and interpersonal relationships without reaching for the most overdone cliches, and I like it very much for that.

Was accidentally spoiled for the identity of Moriarty before I saw the finale, and wasn't sure what I'd think of it, but I think I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. Especially that Moriarty didn't become evil because of knowing Sherlock, but had already had an empire of crime going before he came along, and the obsession there was about intrigue with an intellectual equal. Hmm.

(I did like the casting for Adler in this one, though my favourite will be, forever, the one from the Ritchie movies. Love her.)
