I have an Elementary prediction!
I predict that Moriarty is Irene Adler. Please oh please? I have been ever so good.
I certainly don't believe that Irene is dead. It's a waste of a character who has become central to the Holmes mythos, and they've just been hitting that angle a little too hard. If anyone could fake their death well enough to fool Sherlock Holmes, it's Irene Adler. I just hadn't worked out why until this past episode. Obviously, if she is going to be a brilliant deadly villain, she can't have Sherlock weighing her down. It would seem, however, that she also can't kill him - maybe she's too fond of him, maybe the timing of his move to New York caused him to cease being a threat, whatever whatever. But this would be a new, interesting twist that I don't think we've seen before, and so much more palatable than what certain other recent adaptations have done to the character.
And definitely fucking better than having fridged her so Sherlock can have some manpain. I think this show is better than that.
