My problem wasn't so much that she was a sex worker, but that in the book she could intellectually out-argue Holmes, and in this version, all she does it out-sex him.

I'm not so sure that in Victorian times it was all that scandalous to be a singer/stage performer. I mean it wouldn't have been exactly what the family wanted, maybe, but I think the whole "actor/whore" thing might have been a tad earlier than that.

Irene Adler was certainly scandalous in the book, for her time. But she was also smarter than Holmes. ^_^

I'm sorry about your computer, dang.
