Basically it was the rhetorical question.

Although, it's kind of sad - as "Faith" she does actually get loads of attention from Sherlock, but only because of her disguise, which I'm sure she realises. 

My point is, she could get his - and other people's too - attention only as someone else, since she never let anybody to really know her. Yes, it is sad

Perhaps Mycroft, instead bringing Moriarty as the gift, should invite the parents...

I think he was giving her what she asked for, and he wanted to be able to use her for her work.  I don't suppose she asked for her parents (she seemed to be focused on Sherlock, and I presume she knew she was thought to be dead?).  I'd be interested in what she asked for, apart from the Stradivarius and Moriarty.   The cell was so bare.  I wondered if she actually liked it being like that.    It's quite a contrast to Sherlock's clutter. 

But the colour scheme and so on is irrelevant to that.  She doesn't need to be entirely in white.   She could have pictures on the walls, maps - she liked art as a child.   A violin string would be handy for garotting, so if they'd risk that, they'd maybe risk other things ... I am wondering if it's partly her choice.  And the contrast to Sherlock's clothes and living space is interesting, I think.

About Eurus and the bare cell: of course the contrast to Sherlock's living space is interesting. And I think it is not because of safety reasons. She is allowed to have the violin, and the strings could be used as a weapon or for committing suicide. Posters or maps or such things could not. I think she has become indifferent about such things. It can happen after a long time of being locked away. I know about that because a member of my family has been locked away eighteen years ago because he was mentally ill and became dangerous and no therapy could help him. During all these years he has lost any interest for the room he lives in. In his room the walls are empty, too. He does not care. Perhaps it is a normal reaction for a person living under such circumstances.

Actually, at school we learn that when we have highly skilled pupils (do you really call them that? Very intelligent pupils with an IQ high er than 130) in our class we should not decorate the classroom because bare walls help them to stay focused.

Maybe she wishes to live like that.

Exactly the same I thought too. The cell was terribly empty, colorless, and ... boring. And she surely needed something to occupy her mind. Not really surprising, that she kept getting more angry and evil.

I was curious - how much she really knew about him (how much Mycroft told her, and how much was she able to deduce)?

I assume she would have been told that everyone thought she was dead and that's how they wanted to keep it.

Thus she could to demand as the "Christmas present" her parents to visit her, just to put Mycroft in difficult position. I wonder, why she didn't. ;]

Oh my.... look what some bloggers have found!

The well is right behind John and the house is just a few steps from there....

And yet no one found Victor in there? Were they even looking?
