Thanks Claire! I really think I need to rewatch the episode, although I too found it most unsettling and I'm not sure I want to see it all again!
I hadn't realised there was a canon equivalent to the call about Mrs Hudson, arranged by Sherlock, rather than Moriarty, so that helps.
It's really tough that poor John has to suffer so much and not know that Sherlock is still alive. If I was John I'm not sure I would ever forgive him for that when I found out.
That's a good point about Sherlock's need to solve puzzles. I'm still a bit ambiguous about the idea of Sherlock with a heart under the gruff exterior, which seems like a cliche to me. But if it has a canon precendent then who am I to argue. :-)
