Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia

Spoiler Alert: (You have been warned)

After what has seemed like an eternity of waiting, the best current-day adaptation of Shelock Holmes is back for a second season. And even if this season will only be 3 episodes long, if the making is as good as the first, then the wait would have been worth it.

While Moriarty and Microft are still in this first episode for season two, it's focus is really on Irene Adler, but unlike her character in Mr. Conan Doyle's novels. I'll leave the details to the TV show.

What puzzles me though is the last part, where Sherlock rescues Irene Adler from her death, instructs her to run, and Sherlock ends the scene happy. I am still unsure if that part is merely wishful thinking on Sherlock's part (a what if scenario), but in reality, Adler is really dead.

The reason I think Adler is really dead is that it would have been unlikely that Holmes would have been following her all over the world, and rescuing her at the moment she needed him. Besides, Holmes never leaves England. And Adler died in some Arabian country. So my interpretation of that last scene, is Holmes trying to imagine what it would have been like to be Adler's hero.

What do you think? If your a fan of the show, tell me your opinion ^_^
