I think they started in the 1910s. I don't think they mentioned Exodusters.

I finally caught this show on the PBS app. Interesting that they discussed the migration to the North and West as well as migration back to the South. Also migrations from African and Caribbean countries to the US.

Oh yeah, that was funny.😄 Ok I didn't know the webcam company would have personal info. I thought it would be one of those online companies where you could sign up with a fake name, and I thought Stephens probably paid her through Venmo or some other service, where you couldn't get account info without a court order.

What company? They didn't know who she worked for, or her real name. They kept the feed open to look for clues, monitor her symptoms, and try to calll the dog closer. If they are tablets rather than capsules that can be opened, I assume that Moriarty knows what the real meds look like and made his fake meds resemble them. But also, if generic medicines are made by more than one manufacturer, then each manufacturer might make different looking meds. It all depends on what the meds are. You basically are having to trust the manufacturer and the pharmacy that your med is correct.

Yes it was interesting that Watson described Irene as a con-artist, and said Mrs. Hudson pretended to be the housekeeper. I guess since Irene "flits in and out of his life", that Holmes gets lonely without her. I'm glad that there's no suggestion that either woman works for Moriarty. I assume this means that Watson knows what these women look like, so this is more confirmation that Moriarty's henchwoman isn't Irene or Mrs. Hudson. Good, for now. I think also that Watson said he spent 1 year total with Holmes, and the last few months were all about chasing Moriarty.

So it wasn't just me suspecting that Elijah is sabotaging Olympia? He's the one who recommended those outside experts instead of Shae, and he claims that they did good work for his old firm. But is that true, or is Olympia just taking his word for it? And now Elijah claims that the named client is settling, or did he talk the client into it? Maybe he wants Olympia to lose so she'll leave the firm and he'll never have to see her again. Petty revenge for how they broke up.

I read somewhere that they're still doing the movies in addition to the TV show. But who knows anymore? It's been so long.

I liked Elsbeth hanging out with Teddy and his boyfriend. So cute, but sad that Teddy is thinking about breaking up. I do want Kaya to be promoted. I think the storyline is just for extra drama. She doesn't realize that being promoted means she won't be paired with Elsbeth. We can probably get a couple of episodes of Elsbeth clashing with some new uniform cops while sneaking off to see Kaya in her new role. Then the chief will figure out some way to fix things. After all, Elsbeth regularly works with lots of detectives, so why couldn't Kaya be in the rotation?

Yeah I still don't know the names of the twins but they are obviously setting up the single one to love Sasha. I hope she will just dump her weird not-fiance and then close that storyline. I want her to be investigating interesting mysteries like this Amish thing, not having love drama. I hate the focus on Ingrid. The writers obviously favor Ingrid for plots, but she's blech. Yes, I'm so glad Watson finally stopped contesting the divorce. It just made him look smug, out of touch, and not facing up to reality.

the museum alive ep was interesting. Like "night at the museum" but being careful not to use that name. The fossils/animals come to life and roam around while Attenborough interacts with them. The dolphin and the ichtysaur swimming in the air as if it were water was weird, but I guess if we're going with magic bringing things to life, there's no need for logic. But the touch about the night guard leaving and then returning in the morning, not knowing what had happened. Very cute.

Yeah let go of her, man. She has every right to move on. Even in the books, Watson was only gone maybe a week at most for Reichenbach, while his wife was already out of town. In this show, Watson left her a lot longer with no explanation. Mary says going with Holmes in London was good for Watson and improved him as a doctor, but that doesn't mean she'll forgive him as a husband who abandoned her. I liked Dr Lubbock in this episode, being all excited about solving mysteries. "My brain had an orgasm"! Less emphasis on her love life please.

I actually kind of enjoyed this episode due mainly to the redhaired patient and the little mention of the RedHeaded League. I still think Watson's a jerk to Mary Morstan, still insisting that they aren't divorced yet, and having that blowup at lunch. He's lucky she didn't try to fire him. Reporting the incident is the least she should do. Moriarty's smug henchwoman is annoying but so far they haven't implied that she's Irene. I don't understand the repeated mentions of tamsulosin. That med is prescribed for prostate problems in men; I have no idea what off label use it would be for a person with TBI. Plus it has side effects of fainting due to low blood pressure. You'd think it would be something Watson wouldn't want to prescribe himself. I guess I'll wave it away as him being irrational and overconfident in self-medicating. I still hate his smugness around Dr. Derian. It's her character's real name listed on IMDB. I am puzzled about her weird not-fiance, and I hope she gets more character development beyond her love problems. I liked her last episode when she was all "my brain had an orgasm" and excited about solving mysteries.

Whoa! Scary. I hope it means nothing. She's a grating character, though I am on her side when she points out Watson's hypocrisy in lying to her and not revealing his symptoms. If you insist on having her as your neurologist, then cooperate as a patient! Yes there's so many interesting women in canon like Violet Hunter or Kitty Winter or Sophie Kratides. And in the Sign of Four, Holmes did initially say Mary Morstan would be good as a detective, before she married Watson, so there are interesting ways to interpret canon women. Here's a list https://bookriot.com/female-characters-in-sherlock-holmes/ that includes some villains, if they want villainous women.

I really wanted to like this this movie based on the trailer, and the cast, but it wasn't as funny and light as I wanted. Yeah, not as good as One of Them Days. I agree that the Russians at the end made Rose's whole revenge plot pointless. So she's just selfish and chaotic. Here's the Pitch Meeting which points out many of the flaws.

That whole Van Ness subplot got resolved almost too easily. Felt really pointless. So now they gotta get that murdering judge. I recently watched the original Matlock show, and the first episode with Dick Van Dyke as a murdering judge reminded me of Elsbeth's plot. They never explain how the judge lucked into being on the trial of the person they framed for the murder. Like, is this something that's easy for corrupt judges to do? I did like all the cops helping Elsbeth and being on her team now. I hope they'll be as successful when taking down the judge too.
