She’s either a female homosexual, which makes perception, or she is terribly written. That’s it. Two options. No self-respecting lady, especially as clever and experienced as Irene, would descent in love with a man after 3-minutes conversation where he insults her and after 50+ unanswered messages. It’s simply impossible. So, she’s definitely not in love with Sherlock if we take it as fact that the writing wasn’t yet awful. It means that Irene states she’s a woman loving woman and is shown to have a relationship with the woman she’s interested in. No autograph that she’s also intertested in men.

I will forever be pissed about the way they wanted to portray Irene in BBC Sherlock. totally disrespecting the canon counterpart in every possible way. I am really tired of this “Irene is a dyke who found the perfect man in Sherlock” shit.

After the absolute mess of S4 I’m start to wonder if she isn’t just Moffat’s poorly written wank fantasy.

But yes, she does say she’s queer. She’s gay. Now if Moffat was going for the “man so astonishing he turns a gay woman&rd

sherlock:

Just to reiterate: she’s gay. Not bi. Not straight. Gay.

Yes she is but she fell for Sherlock and it’s pretty desperate to deny that. Her pupils were dilated when he was close, she kissed him on the cheek while he was asleep, she was shivering when Sherlock was getting close, she asked to have sex with him even after getting her job with the code done so she didn’t do this to manipulate him. She cried when he confronted her with the truth. She eventually never denied she was in adore with him. That’s how Sherlock won in the end and she couldn’t defend herself. She told John that they are in the same situation when John tried to deny his feelings based on his sexuality. She tries to keep contact with him (who doesn’t really respond to her) even 4 years later. I am in fact a Johnlocker but it’s frankly impossible to not view her feelings for Sherlock.
Since I get a vague impact that it annoys you that people see it this way, you can be irritated with Moffat who wrote the personality supporting the concept of sexual fluidity (perhaps John as well) and not the people who simply see what he wrote.

The 5 things we learned from John and Irene’s meeting

1) Sherlock indeed follows John everywhere.

2) Irene Adler is truly in love with Sherlock. As she confesses, she made a mistake. When she was hiding from her enemies, when she idea she would probably die, when she faked her death to escape, she sent her camera phone to Sherlock. This was a silly and impulsive act. She did it for two reasons: a) she thought Sherlock would never imagine this password and b) she chose to give it to the person she loved the most. You don’t belief your most valuable object to an enemy. But when she returned, now wanting it assist, she realized what she did was stupid, because a) she put Sherlock in danger and b) now Sherlock would start suspecting that she honestly loves him (but Sherlock already suspected it anyway). So she asks John’s help in arrange to retrieve the phone under Sherlock’s nose, because she didn’t want to reappear in front of him. In this case she’d have to detect a bloody persuasive excuse to illustrate why she gave the phone to him in the first place.

3) John loves Sherlock more than Irene and the fans can even imagine. Irene thought John would agree to assist her in ord

THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM ALL THREE SEASON’S OF BBC’S SHERLOCK. ALL QUOTES ARE FROM S2E1, A SCANDAL IN BELGRAVIA, UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.

In the inception of season 2, BBC’s Sherlock introduces the mysterious Irene Adler, a dominatrix by trade who is also known as The Woman. Throughout the episode, A Scandal in Belgravia, there are numerous comparisons between Adler and the title character of the show. In this meta I am going to enumerate the similarities between these two characters, and offer some analysis that might explain why so many parallels are drawn. I will also talk about what this means for not only Sherlock’s nature development, but also for his relationship with John Watson. I will endeavor to leave my breakdown as open-ended as achievable so that you can all draw your possess conclusions from the similarities that I am about to address. The game is on!

For starters, it is impossible to overlook the physical similarities between Benedict Cumberbatch and Lara Pulver (the actor who portrays Irene Adler). Dusky hair, pale, blue eyes, sharp cheekbones—they really cast a woman who looks like Sherlock. Perhaps this is just a coincidence, b
