Hey, I just read this last night! Right after watching the movie myself. :D
All excellent points! I will only add one or two things: One, the motive. Yes. Irene's plans/plots make absolutely no sense as written. There needs to be a sequel where she has an awesome scheme cooked up. Maybe she's in on it with the King's new fiance!
Two: Irene Adler cross-dresses. Yep. Uh huh.
Three: On Sanctuary, Helen Magnus knows the real James Watson. The real James Watson was the basis for Sherlock Holmes, but he didn't want the publicity, so he had Conan Doyle create Holmes as a cover. Ergo, in my mind: Helen Magnus = Irene Adler.
I will be writing a fic about 1890s London with Helen and Watson in pursuit of an abnormal, and Conan Doyle tagging along. It'll be epic. I can't wait. :D
