Yes Irene Adler was in the right, and Sherlock realizes that King was the bad guy. Sherlock refuses to shake his hand in the end and treats him with disdain, because he finally learned his lesson. Why can't recent shows acknowledge that Sherlock was in the wrong? Instead they want to make Adler a villain and make her the same as Moriarty. It's bad enough that they make her a love interest instead of a mere foil, but to make her an evil mastermind is so wrong. If they want an evil woman, the stories have Isadora Klein for instance or the nameless "most winning woman" who poisoned kids for the insurance money. At least Elementary featured Kitty Winter in a morally gray role; a wronged woman getting revenge against the villain who deserved it. If only writers would portray Irene the same way. I'm hoping that Craig Sweeny will lean more toward Kitty Winter type women and not do the Irene Adler tropes this time. I don't think Batwoman ever had Batman himself on. He remained missing from Gotham as far as I remember. But it was always a two-hander show with Batwoman and Alice, even when they changed Batwoman.

I just recently noticed that Paramount Plus has all 5 seasons now. Hooray! I finally get to see all the episodes. Kitty is still my favorite ghost.

I liked Schlingmann in So Help Me Todd. Hope she gets a good plot line in Watson.

I watched it on Prime with subtitles, because I couldn't figure out what word Santa yelled out to the reindeer. It's apparently Kavalame, a made up word. This website theorizes that it's something to do with a town Kavala in Greece. I guess it's near Myra where St. Nick is from? Weird for them not to explain it in the movie.

I think Elsbeth's son said "he's up for a federal bench position" or something like that. If the judge is being vetted for some big promotion, then he's afraid of any skeletons in his closet getting out. He killed Andy because Andy knew of some skeleton, and the judge still didn't trust Andy to be silent. I hope Elsbeth will figure it out and get enough evidence of Andy's murder so that the judge can be arrested. Maybe he'll make more mistakes in his coverup so she can defeat him.

I saw it, mainly because I haven't seen Lucy Liu in a movie in a long time. She had a smallish part as the head of MORA, some kind of company in charge of protecting mythological characters like Santa. She investigates Santa's kidnapping and orders The Rock's character to work with Chris Evans to find Santa. The movie's fine if you don't take it seriously. I wouldn't rank it as a Christmas classic like Miracle on 34th street or anything. It's like a kids's movie but there is some swearing like "shitbag" which surprised me. But mostly it was amusing and fun, with some magic, a witch, and monsters.

I didn't know Flobert was a lawyer. When we first met him, wasn't he a temporary clerk, until they hired Wyatt? Then he just kept hanging around the court with no apparent job. Now he was filling in for Olivia? So weird. And he somehow knew about Abby's dream. The drugged up mom mistaking Abby for Barbara 😄 Then Abby fearing that her dad was the father!

I saw it twice and enjoyed it. I never read the comic, but I liked the way individual panels on the screen show glimpses of the same location, but in different time periods. The main plot is about the Young family from 1945 or so to present day, but we get scenes of other people too, such as a Native American couple, Benjamin Franklin's estranged family, an inventor and his girlfriend, and a Black family with a housekeeper who dies during the pandemic. Watching these couples age over the years and go through emotional hardships was touching to me, though I've read critics' reviews saying that it's corny or trite. Whatever. I liked it.

Paramount+ has the episode title as "Diamonds are for Elsbeth." I liked that Kaya and Elsbeth discussed the rental agreement and Elsbeth finally listened when she said she didn't want charity. It's good they can be honest with each other.

this is the one where they go to the British Museum right? I liked it as an end to the film series and a way of passing the torch to the British guard Tilly.

Yeah, I meant open captions in my previous post. Glad you guys were able to watch the film. I started to watch the extended cut on Peacock and was having trouble remembering what was in the normal edit vs the extended version.

I took it as a joke, that he was not serious. I'm sorry that the captions didn't work for you. When I can, I try to go to "open captions" screenings where you don't need a device to see the subtitles on the screen. The plot is kind of confusing at times, but I did enjoy a lot of the action scenes. I particularly liked the cartoony fight in the nightclub when Goslilng's character is high on drugs, so you can see like "Bam" and "Pow." Also during another fight, there was a Six Million Dollar Man sound effect because Lee Majors also starred in that show. I liked the karaoke scene with "Take a Look at Me Now." I just wish that Stephanie Hsu didn't have such a small part in the movie. At least she got a fun fight scene. The dog was cool.

It was a fun movie. They made such creative use of the Lifeline bracelet to trick people into thinking they were in different locations. Nice final film for Richard Roundtree. At first I didn't remember the bonus scene, but then I did. About the trees, right? Nice.

Oh here it is. I didn't know this thread was here. I don't know why they don't move it to the new Disney+ documentaries topic they made. When they described Jim's idea for the nightclub, didn't it sound like that Sphere thing in Las Vegas?
