It nagged me too! I think it's a way of saying she isn't really his equal because she gets things because of her body and her sexual inhibition. Psychologically, it must reassure Moffat. Perhaps really clever, confident women, who do not need to be overly sexual because they are confident scare him. The way I see it, if Irene or River were truly strong and confident, they wouldn't need to flash their sexuality like that. And the way he makes the Doctor and Sherlock so utterly asexual in opposition to that... how fucked up is that? It makes me wonder what his problem with sex is...
ts still a very horrible pattern that sends a very wrong signal to the world, and the young people watching it. Yes! He wants us to think that he's not misogynistic, when in fact everything he writes is.
and can we talk about how absolutely horrid that ending was? I cringe just thinking about it! It was very meh, if you ask me. But obviously there's no point in expecting Moffat to kill off characters, ever...
Ooh, we need to marry Wilf and Mrs Hudson! :D I really like Gatiss as an actor, actually; his Mycroft is brilliant! Tbh I'm much more excited about the next episode, which he wrote, than I was about this one.
