Re: Irene's downfall were her emotions. Yes, from an objective POV it just seems like more "females are super emotional" stereotyping, but you have to remember the characters were written in 1887, when these were still upheld. The writers really do have an obligation to stick to the character's descriptions or they'd be torn to shreds by Doyle fans. Sherlock's character is inherently emotionless - that's the point. John is constantly being emotional, though - not just the women.
