Hee, you should not be sorry! You should totally treasure the knowledge that you made me wibble :D
I just... am still not quite sure how you packed so much punch into such a short vid. But you really did!
that's the scene where he tells Joan that 'seeing the puzzle' 'has its costs'...it's isolating. Ah, that's right! I had forgotten. But yes, I think that's the other side of the coin, really, because I think what Elementary does such a good job showing - and what you vid shows! - is that Sherlock is WRONG about his job/intelligence being isolating. It's also his choice, in some way, and the show is all about dismantling his idea about not needing anyone. He needs Joan! He is better with her! (Voice-overs are a bit of a pet peeve for me, but you made it work because it was 100% topical.)
I think you are completely right about Irene - I definitely didn't think it turned the vid somehow shippy or moved the focus from Sherlock and his relationship to Joan. Because the way you used that clip made it clear that it was so much more about how Sherlock saw/puzzled out Moriarty, than it was about how he saw Irene... If that makes sense...
