Elementary 2x01 Discussion Post

Elementary is back! And as the promos kept reminding me every single commercial break on CBS, they were in London.

And Tash, this entry needs a show tag.

Sorry this is a bit late -- in Australia, and with no internet at home. But I really enjoyed it! I just love seeing their faces and their interactions. Joan was made of win, all the way through. I loved how much she's grown in confidence as a detective, even since late last season. And I loved how well they seem to have recovered from Moriarty's shenanigans.

I'm glad to see that Sherlock's recovery isn't treated as something from the past, but an ongoing process. On that front, it was interesting that when Joan suggested working on Step 9, there was no protest of, "you're not my sober companion anymore." Perhaps they've built a level of mutual understanding and trust such that they don't feel the need to maintain such strict boundaries? Anyway it felt like a nice continuation of their discussion last season, when Sherlock confessed his relapse to Joan not as his (former) sober companion but as his friend. Though I do hope to see more Alfredo this season! As well as more development/backstory for Joan.
