The mystery wasn't terrible but it was too similar to the very good snow day one.

Disbelief in this episode lies in a professor showing up 15 minutes early to his lecture and students not immediately filing into the awful amphitheater for the next course. Apartment stuff was good

The reveal that Sherlock's mom was an addict was good. Loving all the plots involved with Morland.

Innnnnteresting developments this time, good crime too. Good episode, though I really do wish the Morland plot went a little faster. He there next week?

The logo for the biker gang a few weeks back was kind of cool. Wish there was a way to obtain a clean mock up of it.

I've figured out what I like most about Elementary. Sherlock has his flights of genius, but they're not the crutch on which the investigations rest. We also see him and Watson doing real investigative work, acquiring the information from which he draws his conclusions. It's good.

Yeah, there's absolutely no "magic". I like it too. He might already know some things, but they're never anything so obscure it strains credibility.

It's also similar to Limitless in that way (no surprise since Craig Sweeny went to run that). They each have the main character who can provide plot relevant deductive rear end-pulls as needed but they are surrounded by highly motivated and competent professionals who also get results through discipline and hard investigative work. Man, I am glad that John Noble got rescued from Sleepy Hollow to play Morland. He's great as ever.

Straight lines hurt you as a child? I liked that Captain Gregson didn't just jump right back into the relationship and actually took a pause to research MS. Just felt more realistic. alternatively: I guess spice withdrawal causes MS CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Mar 4, 2016 |

It's interesting that I can almost always guess the case if I know the news story they pulled from (but the mystery is usually good anyway); this was one such example. This was a reference to Citigroup Center. The mystery was surprisingly credible, I liked it a lot.

BBC's Sherlock thinks viewers want to vicariously feel like special snowflakes. How do you fit Hounds of Baskerville into that? Answer: Poorly. Elementary doesn't have that problem. I expect they'll do a little better.

Pick posted:Yeah, there's absolutely no "magic". I like it too. He might already know some things, but they're never anything so obscure it strains credibility. Yeah there's no magic, the cases get resolved because they stay up all night reading through case files and credit card statements, and doing the grunt work. Like this episode, Watson had to sit there reading boring building codes until she finds a lead. I also enjoy that the suspects are very rarely stupid enough to confess at the end of the episode. They know when to shut up. And they usually know to not show up at the police station without a lawyer present.

When did Sherlock move on to first name terms with Bell? He normally refers to him as "Detective Bell", but this episode he referred to him twice as "Marcus".

That's a good version of what is honestly a pretty crappy original story, wayyy better than the Sherlock one. Nice to give some screentime to the extra characters again!

spookygonk posted:Wonder how the move to 10pm on Sunday is going to affect ratings? Well at least a few people forgot, because I'm the first to comment on the new episode, lol. I had to track it down online since for some reason my DVR got the last half of The Good Wife and the first half of Elementary. Imagine how dumb I felt watching an entire scene of The Good Wife thinking "This is an interesting case setup." They were talking about romance problems and I kept waiting for one friend to snap and kill the other or the husband to burst in. My lack of observational prowess aside, this was a great episode and hopefully everyone will get around to it. The main mystery is some good dark comedy and Sherlock's dialogue was on point throughout ("I was bitten by a radioactive detective"). The sideplot and cliff hanger with Joan and Morland was good stuff. I'm sure some wholesome motive will be revealed, but I like Joan getting a little devious, Sherlock-style.

I watched it and then went to bed. Sherlock going straight to pulling the fire alarm seemed like an unusually unexplained move on his part; normally the writers give you a little reason to understand why a thing before he does it. Especially since it turned out the guy had no intention of doing another shooting. Also somehow I missed where the end guy was set up, if indeed he appeared at all. Good lines, though.
