Primetimer June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 We think there are quite a few shows that could stand to increase their Nobility. Read the story 1 Link to comment
Kromm June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I approve this message! The more Noble the better! 3 Link to comment
Tarasme June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I love it when a plan comes together.... But then, John Noble isn't doing much so far next season. Tra lala. 2 Link to comment
bigdamntvgeek June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I would sell the first-born child I'm never actually going to have to see Noble and Mikkelsen going one-on-one in an episode of Hannibal. That would be amazing. JOHN NOBLE FOR ALL THE THINGS. 2 Link to comment
ulkis June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 As a Fringe fan I'm still not ready to see him play someone else's dad, heh. Him and Josh Jackson were so great together, their relationship was so great. But I like John Noble so I'll probably check it out. 3 Link to comment
ratgirlagogo June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I'm good with Noble, because I'm always good with Noble. (Even though his character on Sleepy Hollow was so terrible even he couldn't really salvage it.) Still, I was really hoping for John Cleese. Link to comment
frenchtoast June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I'm...unsure. I didn't hate him on Sleepy Hollow. He did the best he could and I, for the most part, enjoyed him. What he was given wasn't great, but I grew to dislike the character, not his depiction of said character. Personally, I would have preferred to never meet Papa Holmes. I sometimes like characters that are referred to and sometimes have an impact on the story but aren't seen or heard. However, I was very dubious about Kitty and that was successful so I'll keep my mind open and realize that these writers sometimes play the long game. There were hints about Sherlock's relapse all season and it I think it was handled very well. 1 Link to comment
MrPissyPuppy June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I'd love to see him do a few scenes with Michael Emerson on Person of Interest. 1 Link to comment
MisterGlass June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 Oh yes, this will do nicely. I say 90% original Walternate, 10% Denethor. 2 Link to comment
memememe76 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I think he and Johnny will work well together, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Noble act with Lucy. With Sleepy Hollow, he was all evil and annoying. I think if he gets scenes with Watson, then we'll likely see a more emotional and insecure side. Which is what I enjoyed most when it came to Noble's work on Fringe. I'm assuming that at least for the first portion of the season next year, any scenes between Noble and Miller will involve Noble being all mean and stoney, and Miller being all angsty and angry. Although, I do have my reservations. I pretty much hated any episode involving Sherlock's brother. Link to comment
sinkwriter June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 *sigh I think I'm a little Nobled out right now. Due not to anything he's done, but the way his character was written on Sleepy Hollow. And then he guested on Forever and was kind of evil on that show as well, so... I just think I've had enough of him being evil or sinister. Like frenchtoast says, I was dubious about Kitty as well, thought I'd hate her, but I didn't, so you never know. I could end up thinking his Holmes Sr. is amazing. But right now I'm disappointed. I think there were less obvious choices they could have gone with, including some lovely suggestions made right here in the forum. 1 Link to comment
ramble June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I checked out of Sleepy Hollow after the first season so I'm free of that association. I have been enjoying Elementary so I'm looking forward to the noble Noble showing up. I also am in the midst of a Fringe rewatch & throughly enjoying Walter again. 1 Link to comment
MisterGlass June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I think I will always think of him as Walter. Or Walternate. Or future Walter. Or second timeline Walter. 3 Link to comment
Chaos Theory June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I was thinking Hannibal myself. That would be fun. Link to comment
Lorimac June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 We had sort of checked out of Elementary after a few seasons (except when Rhys Ifans guests), but if Mr. Noble has signed on, we will add it to the viewing list - such is his power. 1 Link to comment
dr pepper June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 Grey's Anatomy. Noble as the gruff, anti social systems engineer who maintains everything from the power circuits to the machines that go ping. Walks in on people having sex to adjust a server repeater, leaves without comment. When Avery Senior buys a brand new top of the line smart phone and can't get it to work, he helps her, using his ability to understand manuals badly translated from chinese. Forestalls disaster by correctly predicting that the trail of an ant infestation will result in chemical traces being deposited in sensitive analysis machinery. Ends ghost event by slapping the person seeing the ghost. Link to comment

johntfs November 16, 2015 Share November 16, 2015 Oh yes, this will do nicely. I say 90% original Walternate, 10% Denethor. I'd say this is how it's playing out. Good deduction. Link to comment
catrice2 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I did not care for him on Sleepy Hollow, but I realize that was just one role. I find, however, that I don't like him on this show either. I think they could have found a different more interesting actor to play Sherlock's father. 1 Link to comment
Eneya November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I enjoy how every actor who is added to the cast is greeted with loads of "I don't like him" before enough time has passed to establish... well... anything. So far, in most cases, that tune changes but then it goes again for the next. 1 Link to comment

HalcyonDays November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I did not care for him on Sleepy Hollow, but I realize that was just one role. I find, however, that I don't like him on this show either. I think they could have found a different more interesting actor to play Sherlock's father. Unfortunately, I am so tainted by the mess over at SH, that it's really hard for me to get past that. The scenes with Sherlock and his father, I kept thinking, "Oh look - there's John Noble character, acting opposite a character with a unusual first name, who is supposed to be highly intelligent, yet is crusty, quirky and stiff-demeanoured, and the actor just happens to be a tall skinny British guy. *shrug* 1 Link to comment

I think they could have found a different more interesting actor to play Sherlock's father. I guess we are in the minority, but I don't like him on Sherlock at all. He was great on Fringe. Sleepy Hollow was a disaster, although I blame the writing there. Link to comment
sinkwriter November 24, 2015 Share November 24, 2015 (edited) I loved how he started out on Sleepy Hollow. He was terrific when he was just "The SinEater." But when they made him more than that (in a ridiculous and annoying way), then everything fell apart. I definitely blame the writers on that one. So far on Elementary I'm undecided. He seems fine, so far, but I feel like they're just getting warmed up. I'm mildly suspicious of his character, based on the way Sherlock has built him up with his scathing jokes and retorts, but he's been surprisingly "decent" ... sort of... LOL... so I feel like I'm waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. The smack in the face that reminds me that Sherlock has reason for making those derogatory comments. I feel he'll show his true stripes eventually; I just hope the writing matches that dynamic well. Edited November 24, 2015 by sinkwriter 2 Link to comment
