sort of live blogging. You know what's incredibly hot? mentor/mentee relationships where we see the mentee step up and start to BAMF all over the place. I feel like plain old shipping Sherlock/Watson here would do their relationship a disservice. Their bond is, like, profound.
Oh my goodness, their ~boundary issues are adorable. Kinda feel like Joan's right tho. Comparing this scene, where he solves her case, juxtaposed with the opening scene, tells me that there is going to be a discussion.
AH! Sherlock has come to appreciate ~partnership. And SMALL GESTURES. (Although I don't think giving your estranged wife a dog is a small gesture.)
Interesting that show went there and paralleled marriage to partnership. It feels like a ship hint. Sherlock's secret look at Watson, though, gave me FEELS. I secretly love it when he's more self-aware than he lets on.
Hm. I feel like I'm missing something lately, in this show. It's slipping out of my grasp and I don't know why!
Interesting juxtaposition though, between this ep and the last one, in regards to both Sherlock and Watson secretly sleeping with people the other one's close to. Weird.
And kind of though I don't buy that Joan would have slept with Mycroft? I don't see it. And it was weird, too, that when Sherlock was confronting her about her motivations about sleeping with Mycroft, she said something to the effect of 'if I had a sister and you slept with her' when just last week he'd slept with her friend, which was almost equivalent. Why not bring that up? And how come they each handled these revelations so differently?
Gah! I really enjoyed this all the way through. Sherlock and Mycroft's interactions were lovely, and I was really pleased with how he and Joan handled the whole moving question. Like grown-ups! (One of the things I love about this show is that it allows its characters to be grownups!)
But that reveal -- sooooo upsetting. Mycroft? Really??? My immediate response is why does everyone close to Sherlock who's not Joan have to betray him horribly? It makes me sad.
Also, I was bummed by the conspicuous lack of Alfredo in Sherlock's list of his suppor network. It makes me think he's never coming back. Which is sad enough on its own, but it also annoys me when shows drop characters and ACT LIKE THEY NEVER EXISTED. Would it be so hard to say, "I miss Alfredo, too bad he moved to Boston" or something?
Hi! I'm merryghoul, and I'm taking over the homebase for Elementary! I've decided to take over the current homebase, so I'll be posting threads for each new episode every week for discussion and whatnot.
Since there wasn't a thread for "Dead Clade Walking" (which aired on January 30), I've decided to make one here. This week's thread is, well, below.
Not sure about how I feel about the bisexual ballet dancer, since another show just coincidentally made a character bisexual this week, and I didn't like how that show handled that situation.
Really loved the introduction of Joan backstory we got, and the ending was lovely as well.
Very early since I'm hopped up on coffee, but here's tonight's discussion thread. Discussions and reactions for tonight's episode go here!
I'll be a bit late, since, I admit, I DVR Elementary in the States when a certain show coming back on tonight is on. But I'll be happy to talk about everything when I'm caught up (sometime tomorrow).
Come to think of it, the person who committed the bombing in this one revealed themselves pretty early on. Wonder what took the rest of the characters so long to figure that one out...
But it was another great episode. The "cocks" parts were hilarious.
Although I'm still wondering what Sherlock is going to do with those Yorkshire puddings.
Discuss here, whenever you can! (I know some CBS affiliates in the US are showing men's college basketball conference tournaments tonight, and not everyone will be able to watch live. :[ )
Very interesting case, what with the multiple dentures floating around Newgate and elsewhere. (I get Newgate is a homage to the original books/London, but I'm skeptical if a prison called Newgate could exist in the US. Maybe it's me.)
Also, Clyde has sweaters now! Hopefully we'll see Ms. Hudson back soon.
And the treasure hunt mentioned in the episode sounds like a good premise to write a fic for, IMO. Maybe I'll write it...
I thought this episode was okay. The anthrax scare was amusing to me; Sherlock's ghost friend, not so much. But I've seen worse this TV season, so I'm not upset at all.
Great episode! So many moments to choose from...well, except for the CGI mosquito drone, lol. The animation for it was cheap and I can sense it.
Happy to see Joan and Mycroft's relationship expanded on. I was scared their only mention of them sleeping together was going to be the show's Big Lipped Alligator Moment. I'm starting to ship them now, but their relationship is doomed, I know it.
Nothing special with the case (and its twists), but other than that, the episode was funny. Sherlock suggesting he and Mycroft share Joan and Joan responding she'll do things to his privates! Sherlock offering Joan breakfast in bed only to talk about Mycroft! Sherlock telling the mosquito drone to leave Joan and him along with index cards! Too many !!! moments for me, to be honest.
Really excited for next week's episode because Lucy Liu directed it.

Sad to see the cocks leaving the brownstone, though. :(

Re: EPISODE 2.22: Paint It Black
The direction was great. The story was amazing! So many twists and turns. And so many destroyed phones and Tasers.
I feel like these last episodes could be even better than the Moriarty reveal last season.

EPISODE 2.23: Art in the Blood
Re: EPISODE 2.23: Art in the Blood
I have a feeling the person saying they're going to leave is going to leave.
And I adored the cliffhanger, too!
