Elementary (CBS)

not really. Different shows are different, shock and awe.

Looking forward to the next episode. Feels like it's been A DOG'S AGE AS NARRATED BY JIM HENSON since the last one.

apparently, no matter what show Cuddy's in, she's attracted to Holmes or Holmes-based characters.

Spoiler:

I'd be so sad if Watson was really going to leave the show

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that.

I have to say I've been bored the past few episodes lately. I've been figuring them out too easily. This latest one threw me for a loop until towards the end.

The Addict scenario keeps on recurring... i find it a bit irritating..

^ I agree, I think Sherlock is not going to take drugs anymore, the way he is in the show, I think he has enough control over himself not to do that again.
Don't worry Maître Détective, if it's not Sean Bean, then you're safe, besides, Sherlock without Watson would probably never get anywhere!

[kyuuketsuki]

I disagree, I think he might go back to drugs but use a diluted solution. You know... Like a 7% solution ;-)

normally I'm not the type to rag on product placement, but when Sherlock set up the Win8 tablet I just cracked up. Gotta zoom in on the features!

Have to keep up production some how

It's funny how Gregson is treated as a complete idiot by Holmes in Sherlock but it's the opposite in Elementary where he treats him with great respect

You must mean Lestrade.

Oops, nevermind... I've mistaken Anderson for Gregson

Gregson is quite boss-like in this series. It's really hard to manage having a police character that people actually find engaging when there is (naturally) a far superior investigator around in the detective, but the dichotomy and division of labor between Holmes and Gregson here works well. Holmes actually trusts him to get the job done, which does mirror Gregson's role in the original stories well enough.

I think my favorite bit of interplay between the two was when...

Spoiler:

Holmes had no choice but to come forward about his drug abuse and Gregson informed him that he already knew but didn't mind or feel it was relevant. There was a good understanding between the two there that I think actually felt real. Jonny Lee Miller did a stellar job in that scene of displaying Holmes's natural aversion toward expressing emotion around other people but coming out with it anyway.

The recent episode that focused on Gregson's past was a great indicator of their compatibility and also their differences, especially since Gregson still didn't have to look like the fool (which I think would have been the more common approach in most other stories of the sort).

Before you say anything, I would like to remind you that I'm holding an axe.
