 Last season on Elementary... thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3855426  Sherlock and Joan are in London. Why? Some dumb bullshit about Sherlock taking the fall for the murder of Michael in place of Joan, even though Joan didn't actually kill him, and then running away to the UK so the FBI couldn't arrest him. I dunno. The reasoning didn't make much sense. Then the show ended, because that was the series finale. Except it wasn't! Everything pointed to the finale of S6 being the finale of the show, and the writers even admitted it was written as one, but CBS has decided to renew Elementary for one last miniature season. So I guess we're in London now! Also it's a year later! Woo! Starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes  In Elementary's retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Sherlock is a recovering drug addict, sent to New York City by his wealthy father to help him recuperate. In his time there, he has been working with the NYPD as a consultant on their most difficult cases, mostly by virtue of being too good of a detective to turn away. Season 6 focused on Sherlock's struggle with post-concussion syndrome, and his befriending of a perfectly normal dude named Michael who turned out to be a serial killer. Once this was revealed, Sherlock spent the rest of the season hunting Michael down, only to be beaten to the punch by Hannah Gregson. But where Sherlock hoped to arrest Michael, Hannah straight-up murdered him, and then the whole thing got pinned on Joan somehow because Michael said her name before he died. Unable to convince the FBI that Joan hadn't been the one to kill Michael, Sherlock confessed to the crime himself and then hosed off to London, using his clout with MI6 to keep the British government from extraditing him. Lucy Liu as Joan Watson  A former surgeon, Joan Watson left medicine after losing a patient and became a "sober companion" to recovering drug addicts. Her time with Sherlock has shown that she has a knack for detective work, and she now works alongside Sherlock as an equal partner on his cases. Joan's story in season 6 mostly centered around her sudden inexplicable desire to adopt a child, which led to some sick "don't you have a child to take care of already" burns on Sherlock but, much like all of Joan's plotlines, ultimately went nowhere. After Sherlock revealed his plan to take the fall for Michael's murder, the two shared a heartfelt goodbye that was immediately rendered moot when Joan promptly decided to follow him to London and take up residence in 221A Baker Street. Jon Michael Hill as Detective Marcus Bell  A detective with the NYPD with the rare distinction of Sherlock's respect. While he gets along well with Watson, he and Sherlock have never quite had what one could call a friendly relationship. That said, both he and Sherlock have great trust and respect for each other, and they have worked together on numerous cases. In season 6, Bell suddenly got an offer to join the U.S. Marshals, which turned out to be on Sherlock's recommendation, and he spent most of the season mulling the offer over. He didn't take it, of course, because that would have meant writing him out of the show, but it's clear that Bell has the ability to go beyond being a simple city detective, and we may see bigger things happening for him in season 7. Aidan Quinn as Captain Thomas Gregson  The captain of the NYPD's 11th precinct, Gregson is the one who first brought Sherlock on to help with homicide cases. Like with Bell, he and Sherlock are not friends, but Gregson sees Sherlock's potential and is the first to defend him when other officers mock or distrust Sherlock's investigative style. Gregson's personal life was mostly a sideshow in the past, but that changed in season 6 when Michael killed the best friend of his daughter Hannah. When Hannah got revenge in the season finale, it was also revealed that Gregson knew about it and erased evidence that might implicate her. Sherlock managed to get around Gregson's betrayal by taking the fall for Michael's murder, but it's unclear what sort of relationship the two will have after the year-long time skip. James Frain as Odin Reichenbach  A new character for season 7, and sadly, probably the final nail in the coffin for the hopes of Moriarty ever coming back. Aside from the actor, and that Reichenbach will be S7's major villain, we know nothing about him yet. Other Characters Natalie Dormer as Irene Adler/Jamie Moriarty  The love of Sherlock's life and the former head of a criminal empire that spans the globe, Moriarty was imprisoned at the end of season 1. Though she has appeared very occasionally since then, for the most part Natalie Dormer's work on Game of Thrones prevented Moriarty from being a major force on the show. Her absence continued through season 6, but Morland warned Sherlock mid-season that Moriarty had slipped her bonds and was now "back" in some unspecified way. Will she make a triumphant return for Elementary's final season? I sure hope so, but at this point I'm not betting on it. John Noble as Morland Holmes  Morland is Sherlock's father, an obscenely wealthy business consultant whom Sherlock detests. After Sherlock relapsed to his drug addiction in season 3, Morland returned to New York to monitor his son, and was the major focus of season 4 (as well as the target of many exquisitely crafted insults from Sherlock). Season 4 ended with Morland being offered the "position" of head of Moriarty's criminal empire, which he accepted with the goal of dismantling it from within. He returned briefly in season 6, but basically only to warn Sherlock about Moriarty being "back." It is unclear if he will return in season 7. Ophelia Lovibond as Kitty Winter  An apprentice that Sherlock took on in season 3 while he and Watson were apart, Kitty showed a similar aptitude for detective work. However, in the course of her work with Sherlock, she found the man who had raped her years ago and killed him, then fled so that both she and Sherlock could not be connected to the murder. She appeared once in season 5, but it was strongly played as a farewell, so we'll see if she comes back for season 7. Ato Essandoh as Alfredo Llamosa  Sherlock's former sponsor in Narcotics Anonymous, Alfredo was once a car thief, but now uses his talents to test alarm systems for car companies. Though they were awkward with each other, Sherlock eventually "fired" Alfredo as his sponsor so that they could be friends outside of their relationship in NA. He appeared briefly in season 6, but has stopped being a major character on the show for the most part. Rhys Ifans as Mycroft Holmes  mycroft is gross go aw--oh.  (thanks Pick) And last but not least... Clyde as Clyde     https://twitter.com/elementary_cbs/status/1026901182009106432 Elementary premieres Thursday, May 23rd at 10pm on CBS!

The one thing about this show is that it's IMO, a sherlock holmes show where ignoring the "lore" made it better. I generally liked Moriarty because it was just a very organized psychopath whose "criminal empire" was just a rolodex of the kind of garbage people who happily commit crimes in exchange for money. Further appearances weren't great. In general I'm not a fan of that.

Feels like they'll be back sooner rather than later given that happened to Gregson. I liked the explanation as to why Marcus isn't a Marshall yet.

It was a nice bonus getting to see Kitty again for a few scenes. Hypocrisy posted:Feels like they'll be back sooner rather than later given that happened to Gregson. I was fully expecting them to be back next week for some reason. This is absolutely a very strong motivator to do just that.

It bothers me no end that the way they solved the case was because "obviously" the model had given her National Insurance number to the hospital where she was having cosmetic surgery - they're a tax thing, and get no use outside the tax system unlike SSNs. For someone who's not on PAYE like a model then your accountant will know it and HMRC will know it but that's it for third parties. It really makes the case read hard as one that was set in the USA originally then moved to the UK more or less last minute (and the scene where the model is attacked I swear that no one is even attempting a UK accent so it may have been a very last minute change?)happyhippy posted:It looks so 'faux' english to me.

A bit disappointed that Sherlock is just walking around New York. He should be wearing disguises! Maybe a novelty mustache or hat. Or pull an Arrested Development and hire someone to be his Larry Middleman. The ending wasn't completely unexpected but I'm guessing he's out to assist with the case of the week in two episodes at most.

It's hard to tell from the preview, but my guess is Sherlock is going to offer his help to root out any other people connected to the ferry bomb plan, in exchange for the FBI dropping the charges against him.

Of course, it was undermined a bit when he outright walked into the FBI HQ, and folks there had no idea who he even was, so it just made the FBI look even more incompetent.

I doubt he's kept up to date on suspects in year-old murders. On top of that, I have to think Sherlock isn't a terribly high priority for the FBI. Investigator with a long history of helping the police confesses to killing a known serial killer that had personally threatened him, then skips the country? I doubt someone is monitoring street cameras every day in case he decides to come back to New York. Especially since the FBI agent in charge of the investigation thinks the confession was bogus anyway.

That first scene made me mad. I keep forgetting that this is a proper short season and I keep expecting a sudden dropping of the overarching plot until the last episode. So we have a new, shadowy organization with unknown ideals but possibly vaguely patriotic? Made me think of Burn Notice. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I did like that someone outplayed Sherlock. Well done. I wonder if he'll get some comeuppance before the series finale or if this is just the reality of Sherlock playing fast and loose with bad people.

I can't remember the last time Elementary had a good engaging season long background plot the way this season does. It's a shame it's going to be the end because the show really does seem to have rejuvenated itself after a very soggy middle run of episodes.
