My Mum is the Internet

I've gotten Mum into Sherlock, and watching with her is great. She talks to the TV and makes all the same guesses as I did my first time through. She was totally confused by the ending of Scandal ("but why did he save her?") but my favourite reaction so far was during Baskerville.

Mum: Sherlock's driving?!

I heard someone mention that Sherlock was "repaying a debt" when he saved her, since Irene called off Moriarty in the pool scene. Remember the phone call Moriarty received, and then Irene was seen walking back to the bedroom while hanging up her phone? Personally, I rather like that explanation.

And hee! Everyone's so shocked to see Sherlock driving anywhere. ^_^

Oh, that's an interesting theory. Would Sherlock have known that it was Irene on the phone? Moriarty didn't say, and the whole tangle with Irene came months after the pool happened, I don't know if he would have connected the two. I suppose he might have deduced it. Either way, I still wish she would have escaped by herself and let him know she was alive. It undermined everything they built up about her by having her need to be rescued.

I know he's only driving because Martin Freeman doesn't know how, but I just can't picture Sherlock going 'no, I'll drive' with John. Unless John can't either, or his licence expired while he was overseas. I would have thought Sherlock would need to sit and be able to look at everything.
