I was kind of disappointed at the end of the movie
that Irene Adler didn't get away scot free. I wanted him to look back down to that ledge she was knocked to at the end of the fight and she'd be gone or something, having left him just a note about Moriarty, signed with a kiss.

You did get that he handed her the key to the cuffs, right? I much prefered the little chat they had over something as cliche as "and then she was gone!!!!"

well I mean 'they are gay together' is always hinted at
there's been a few comments about it so far
and i think sherlock just effectively came out to watson
What did he say
I want to investigate your penis with my mouth.
Sure, but without context who can say what a statement like that means??
Anyway I had no idea this was happening in Britland and I don't care if it's poop from a million butts I will watch it so hard, in time-honored Lost Salient tradition of watching anything vaguely related to Sherlock Holmes.

Oh he's not supposed to be, but those small glimpses of worry he expressed for other people were pretty rare and therefore lovable because he shows he can be emotional and care for others once in a blue moon.

You don't just be emotional and care of others "once in a blue moon". It's more that all that stuff is there, but he's got a host of other hang ups and pride standing in the way, and when that shit hits the fan, the facade drops.

comic relief scenes involving watson introducing sherlock to traditional jewish foods

That's true, I guess. It might be that a lot of Batman: The Animated Series as a kid made me love people disappearing when other peoples' backs are turned a little too much.
Watson states that "Holmes had while away learned of my own sad bereavement and his sympathy was shown through his manner rather than in his words." This indicates that Watson has lost someone significant to death, almost certainly his wife; that fact is confirmed when he moves back to Baker Street to share lodgings with Holmes, as he had done as a bachelor.
Conan Doyle made mention of a second wife in The Adventure of the Illustrious Client and The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier, but this wife was never named, described, or explained. American author Michael Mallory began a series of stories in the mid-1990s featuring this second wife, whom he called Amelia Watson. In Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds, Watson's second wife is Violet Hunter, from The Adventure of the Copper Beeches.

nah that can't be it, it's not stupid and vulgar enough
It also seems a reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaally stupidly obvious "reimagining" of the perpetual bachelor from the stories.
Much prefer the RDJ take, where "common" women just bored the poor guy and it took someone who could match wits with him to pique his interest.
Although I guess one of the two sort of speaks to me directly. Try to guess which one!

the one that is wish-fulfillment for lonely nerds?
uhh i'm not sure exactly
someone thought they were on a date together
they had a conversation
watson was like "do you have a boyfriend, that's fine, i'm just asking"
holmes started saying something to the effects of "uhhm i'm not really interested in anything right now"
Sure, but without context who can say what a statement like that means??

if you want to be cynical about it
Good question! Try asking a lonely nerd!
But where would we find on on the intertrons?

they grew up together going to the same public school
she'll be going to johns hopkins
he runs a small section of the city
she doesn't speak to her father anymore, but he's also a big record label executive
sherlock sells coke, but he really wants to be a rapper
they solve mysteries to keep the game clean
It's been a while since I read the stories, but Wikipedia seems to contradict this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Watson_(Sherlock_Holmes)
at the last 15 minutes of episode 1 he's playing his first real big gig and gets stabbed by a man in a suit
he crawls home and she's just found out her mother has died in a car crash where her prius was hit by an H2
they resolve the last season and a half of sexual tension by getting drunk and banging cut to black stay tuned next week for the thrilling resolve
edit: we better actually make that critical condition not death
a couple episodes later we can do the episode where her mother dies but sherlock is off on business and unable to comfort her
