This was so good ! I really enjoyed it. And “because that man would sooner burn a da Vinci than take his own life" made me laugh out loud, because it's so true.

The notion of Sherlock committing suicide is really something you need to see to believe, I think--otherwise how do you reconcile the man who will outlive God trying to get the last word? I'm glad you liked it. :)

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it. :)

Thanks! I'm happy you think so. :)

Very wonderful! In a small amount of words you capture both Irene and Molly very well.

Thanks! :)

This was very good. I like that Molly is smart and paying attention and Irene is slightly menacing, but in a very cordial sort of way. And she's a bit surprised but also giving Molly credit.
Sooo want to read more about them.

Bit of a nitpick ...I'm pretty sure they're the same hight 1,60 (or well same short more like it).

Oh god, are they? But Lara Pulver just looks so miniature! Maybe it's got something to do with how compact she is--or how intense she is? She's like a shot of espresso--short and vivid, packing a punch. Louise Brealey doesn't have that. She looks perfectly apportioned--totally lovely, of course, but (and I'm sure they gave her this vibe deliberately) more normal.

Irene looks like one physical extreme to me (especially when we see her in Sherlock's coat and dressing gown, barefoot), whereas Molly always looks so supremely ordinary, nothing different about her at all. Maybe because we tend to see her standing next to John, who is shorter, or next to Sherlock in the morgue when he's generally sitting down.

Anyway, thank you for the feedback, and for the nitpick! :)

IMDB says 5'3" (1.60 m) for both of them.
And what's really funny is that for me it was kind of the opposite. Like at the Christmas scene I was struck by the 'resemblance' especially when Sherlock said the bit about small breasts and small mouth. Because 32 is small, and even with the blood red lipstick Irene's lips are rather small. So my first reaction was ...so wait Sherlock isn't this how you like them?

Not that it has anything to do with how 'they' look when it comes to Sherlock.
