I thought the whole point of her blackmail was that she had people in sexual situations? 

I was surprised that was still usable for blackmail today, frankly, but I guess, if they're married...

Agreed^ So she has compromising photos of a 'close' member of the Royal family... in light of recent RL pics leaked of Prince Harry and Duchess Kate, all it would do is embarrass the Queen. I thought a Profumo-like situation involving clients with state-sensitve intel would more likely warrant Mycroft's attention.

Also, don't know if it's book canon, but Guy Ritchie's movie Irene is also a pawn of Moriarty, so it's interesting that Moffat would do the same here. Not something I agree with either btw.
 

Hmm.. My list is *really* close together as far as episode preference. It boils down to which one I'd watch more than the others.

1. Reichenbach
2. Great Game
3. Last Vow
4. Scandal
5. Study in Pink
6. Sign of Three
7. Empty Hearse
8. Hounds
9. Blind Banker

I currently live in the Hampton Roads area, my occupation is nursing, and my hobbies are reading, drawing, and geeky stuff in general. Sherlock has grown on me since the first episodes; now I can't resist the power of "The Batch", Pleased to meet you all!
