Before s6 started, I didn't get very far in the above endeavour. I have now reached s4 and 3 episodes in to it, I'm probably just gonna rewatch the whole thing. John Noble is even better as Morland than I remembered.

Some of Jonny Lee Miller's best acting in the series. Honestly this episode exceeded all of my expectations. Even if this series basically treats most of the actual crimes/mysteries/murders as McGuffins does not mean the episodes can't all be pretty good like this one. And actually the crime was actually interesting in this episode I also appreciated that the writers faked me out in a believable way. "The husband did it!" "Oh wait maybe not" "Ha-ha Fooled you!" The plot line did not seem like a cop out. I will be really interested to see how a potential serial killer/recovering drug addict plays out. If Shinwell ended up causing Joan and Sherlock so much grief despite at least trying not to, what's going to happen with a guy who may one day actually want to hurt them? Final thought: Sherlock's throwaway line to Michael about being between sponsors probably means Alfredo isn't making an appearence on this show any time soon

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Sherlock "relieved" Alfredo of his sponsorship duties in S4 so that they could be actual friends instead of dudes that get together to help keep each other sober. Ironically I think that might be the last time we saw him, so I wonder if that was a way to write Ato Essandoh off the show. I thought he did that in season 2.

Season 2's when Sherlock became a sponsor for some kid, Randy, that was in like 3 episodes and hasn't even been offhandedly mentioned since.

I think Elementary's formula is starting to become a little too obvious, because as soon as the episode mentioned a dirty bomb I knew the actual crime was not going to have anything to do with a dirty bomb. I do love the swerves a lot of this show's crimes pull, but I feel like there needs to be the very occasional episode without a bizarre twist. Also was it just me, or did the agent being in on it and the final scene in the graveyard feel really tacked-on to anyone else?

The lingering Watson's Dad plot thread is now resolved. There is so many one-off characters that I'd love to see re-appear in the final season. Wheelchair anti-Artificial Intelligence professor, John Hannah the ex-drug dealer, Gregson's serial killer nemesis, white australian neil degrasse tyson, Pam, the Nose. I would be extremely cool with the season 6 finale being an rechartered N.Y.O.O.P.I. versus E.S.O.O.P.I. battle royale. Jamie Moriarty, of course, would be leading the N.Y.O.O.P.I. with Moriarty method trained detectives.

How was this plan suppose to work? I mean, the plan hinged on the idea that the police would be distracted by a dirty bomb. First of all, how would they convince the police that this dirty bomb was credible? Would that anonymous tip direct attention to the research lab? And second, why did they need to kill the "bomb-maker"? What did his death have to do with the plan?

I've done enough delivery work that I can say without hesitation that it's better to plan your routes around right turns but there's a lot of instances where it's the better option to just wait for the turn signal, even in rush hour traffic. e: I guess it's an issue of either prioritizing saving time or fuel when you can't choose both. Even still, middle of night, still seems best just to take the left. Milo and POTUS fucked around with this message at 22:46 on May 8, 2018 |

This confused the hell out of me, because Australia generally doesn't permit turning left (the equivalent of a right turn in the US) through a red light the way they often do in the States. You have to wait for the light. The Lord Bude fucked around with this message at 03:48 on May 9, 2018 |

You have to wait for the light. You can turn right on red lights in rightmost lanes in a lot, but not all, places in the US. Sometimes right on red is general but there are local exceptions for certain potentially dangerous intersections. Sometimes I think whole states might not allow it? Though none I've driven in in the SE. Then there's michigan lefts and I have no clue what the gently caress is even going on with. e: Oh and when I said "wait for the turn signal" I meant wait for the left-hand green light in dedicated turn lanes.

And a the-episode-where-they're-actually-stealing-paintings-from-wall-street episode. I wish I could remember the name for the last one, it's one of my favorites, but ANYWAY, it's hard to do episodes with exactly the same formula when you've done it before, multiple times, particularly well. Also: 6x05 Bits and Pieces Sherlock Holmes, Joan Watson & Detective Bell Sherlock and Joan retrace Sherlock’s steps after he finds himself in possession of a severed head and no memory of the past six hours or why he has it.

You want season 5 episode 6 for the no-actually-they're looting paintings from wall street hijinks episode. It started with a snake venom poisoning at a boutique NYC restaurant that lead to the mass poisoning of internet certificate authenicators which eventually lead to wall street cyber attack fears...but it was really an artwork heist from the lobby of the USSE lobby. That upcoming Elementary episode tidbit...Angus the phrenology bust needed a buddy?

However, he's going to gently caress with Sherlock, and Sherlock will be unable to solve the case, and he won't know why and think he's losing it. gaslit a.f.

Very happy, if not more than a little surprised, CBS opted to renew the show for another season. By no stretch of the imagination am I complaining. Now I won’t lose 2 of my favorite shows (this and The Americans) in the same year. That was a fun reveal what Michael had in mind for Sherlock. The cat and mouse game should make for some compelling TV. Would it be a little too on the nose to call it a game of shadows?

Still catching up, but there's a very subtle piece of characterisation at the end of 6X02. When Sherlock is doing the jigsaw puzzle he's 95% done, but he still hasn't completed the frame. Normally that would be the first thing you'd do because it provides structure to the puzzle and the edge pieces are easy to find. While Sherlock is obviously not a jigsaw fan, he's too methodical not to do it. That he didn't is a sign of how disordered his cognition is.

This post concussion storyline is rubbish. His symptoms are now psychological and he should be seeing a neuropsychologist. Gabapentin isn't prescribed for headaches. My spouse who treats people for these conditions starts getting visibly upset whenever these scenes are on screen lol. We're glad it is still on though since I thought it would have been cancelled by now.
