shapeshifter May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 (edited) This must've been Reg E. Cathey's last role before he died of lung cancer February 9th. He didn't seem sick, but didn't look quite as strong either. I wonder if the episode title was in part an homage? And Sherlock's line about how one of them would die and it wouldn't be himself… So if Joan adopts will she stay in the brownstone? Edited May 22, 2018 by shapeshifter tiny typo 2 Link to comment
thuganomics85 May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 Well, that's one way to make me not figure out who the killer is: have almost everyone be a familiar face! James Urbaniak, Douglas Hodge, Maulik Pancholy, and, RIP, Reg E. Cathey is certainly a talented group of suspects! Still not surprised it was Urbaniak's doctor though, because he did seem pretty suspicious in the beginning. St I actually got the sense that Mr. Clay could have been a recurring foil depending on if he "fixes" other problems, but sadly Cathey's passing will make that null and void. I will miss his talent badass voice. Enjoyed Bell's crack about how there are time he wished he could just lock Sherlock in a box. Lin has been much improved so far this season. Not sure how I feel about this adoption storyline with Joan. 5 Link to comment

tiredofwork May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 Someone taking their life is certainly not funny.. I myself have experienced someone close who did. But, I could not help but chuckle when Sherlock & Watson were looking at the screen away from the suspect dude while they were talking about Watson's psych file.. Then he stepped over the balcony wall and jumped. 6 Link to comment
tennisgurl May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 I have zero interest in watching Joan become a mom because her dead therapist said she should in her notes. I mean, its fine if thats what she wants, but I have no clue what a kid could bring to the show. If she needs to get her maternal instinct on, she should just spend more time taking care of Clyde. Or maybe get a cat. I could see Joan with a act. Sherlock himself is basically a cat in human form anyway. In fact, as Lin said, she already has a child, and his name is Sherlock. The client jumping off the roof while Joan and Sherlock were chatting about her psych file was played a bit for dark laughs, but I liked how much Sherlock showed empathy for the guy. I thought this was a pretty good case, and one way to get me confused as to who the killer is is to make them all actors that I recognize from stuff! I did suspect the other therapist though, he seemed suspicious from the first interview. So the dead girl was an addict? Maybe the guy is killing addicts from their program in some twisted mercy kill, or they died of an OD, and he is just hiding the bodies, but has a compulsion to share this? I liked the scenes with Joan and Lin a lot, their banter was funny and sweet. And I chuckled at Bell saying he sometimes wanted to lock Sherlock in a box. And Sherlock insisting that the Victorians could build them a hell of a derivation chamber. 11 Link to comment
theatremouse May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 I thought it showed that both Sherlock and Joan were kind of off their games that A) they spoke outloud about their crimes in the office before verifying it wasn't bugged (they've been bugged enough that that's not paranoid) B) they didn't suspect or worry when dude went out to the balcony for air. I did appreciate that LL as they were initially talking, did turn and look over JLM's shoulder a bit out to the balcony as if to check on him. The look on her face didn't seem to me like she was worried about him overhearing, but rather they turned away to give him privacy to compose himself...but she also didn't want to not look for too long, but after that first lookback they kept talking for too long and she missed it. Even if they knew nothing about the guy I'd be worried about him suddenly going on a balcony, probably because I watch too much TV, but still, the concern was automatic. 7 Link to comment

Not that there's anything wrong with Joan's decision, but I feel like we've seen this story line before on plenty of other shows (whether its having a biological kid or adopting), whereas having a forty-something woman being content without a romantic partner or kids is something that is not seen as much (and should be seen more). That said, if Joan does adopt, I'm cautiously optimistic that the show would set it up in a way that would be at least somewhat compelling. I admit I don't know how, but we shall see... As for the rest of the episode, I'm hoping the deprivation chamber makes more appearances (shirtless JLM!).

Joan has never really said or acted like she wanted children has she? It really makes no sense and seems really out of the blue. I loved Lin's speech too about how awesome Joan's life is. Plus we don't really know why her therapist wrote that done. Was it based off a conversation or something else? Maybe she thought Joan seemed to be taking care of someone? Or maybe it was just a guess. Joan thought she wanted a conventional relationship until she dated Andrew and decided she didn't want it so maybe the therapist just assumed she wanted kids? 4 Link to comment

If the crimes are going to be "who stole little Tommy's pencil" I won't be watching, in fact, if there's a kid I won't be watching.

This is different than a new character coming in and upsetting the comfortable status quo. Look at the title, referring to time. This is adding yet one more plot to the pile of movie and television story lines that tell the women watching that all woman anywhere at anytime need is to be laid and/or have a baby before it is too late. Maybe they will do a good job with the adoption plot. Maybe Lucy Liu even inspired it because of the son she had (as a wealthy single woman in real life) by a surrogate. It is still something that concerns me. Edited May 23, 2018 by Mermaid Under 8 Link to comment

12catcrazy May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 Another NO vote for bringing a kid onto this show. And as a childless woman (now well past menopause), I also resent how TV seems to have a problem portraying happy professional women living their lives without either having children or longing for them. Yeez, look at what happened with Law & Order SVU when they gave Olivia an adopted kid. As some said up thread, it was nice seeing Watson appearing happy with her life without either a man or kids. Maybe that is considered too much of a freak show in our current version of America. Frankly, I think when shows that start out without kids start bringing them in, it's the Jump The Shark moment. 17 Link to comment

But in order to calm my TVK PTSD (TV kid post-traumatic stress disorder), I think I need at least one example of a drama that introduced a child character after a few seasons, and it worked well and added positively to the show. And I say this as someone way past menopause with 3 adult daughters and no grandchildren—FWIW.

I'm thinking that the plot line may include her investigation of adopting a child, and the various paths that she takes -- perhaps she discovers a case while she's looking into one adoption agency, or whatever. The show may never actually get to the point where she even adopts a child but there could be interesting stories that develop out of the search. FWIW - I will also be disappointed if they actually bring a baby/child onto the show, because as many of you have commented, it tends to be the kiss of death for a show. But I'm unconvinced at this point that an adoption is a done deal. 2 Link to comment
possibilities May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 Frankly, Sherlock is the one who seems more likely to enjoy the challenge, want the investment emotionally, and grow as a character from doing it. I just can't see Joan in the parenting role, I really can't. Sherlock is actually the one who gets invested in people and projects, he likes being a mentor, he is the one who needs an outlet for his energy and something to focus on that challenges him and keeps him from getting bored. He also doesn't need much sleep, usually. Let Sherlock take a foster. He needs a crusade, it might as well be this than another. Watson is so detached and unemotional, I can't see her with a full time physical or emotional responsibility. She's reliable but she's never shown the slightest inclination towards this sort of thing at all, and the idea that the therapist's idea made her consider it is just bizarre. It implies she either always wanted it but never thought she could until the therapist validated it (which is ridiculous and makes her look way less independent or self-confident than she's always been) or that she never wanted it until the therapist gave her the idea, which is equally ridiculous. The show doesn't need a child, though. I sort of hope the whole thing is some kind of misdirect. Maybe Joan is investigating a criminal enterprise underlying the adoption market, and is going to expose a trafficking ring or some other horror going on at the agency she's looking into. 4 Link to comment

MisterGlass May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 I'm also leery of this sudden interest in adopting a child. In past seasons Joan wrestled with the idea of having a personal life and attachments, and seemed to decide in the end that detective work is where she wanted to focus her time and search for meaning. She has had trouble trying to connect with others since becoming a detective. Her last major partner was poisoned in an attempt to kill her. She tried to be a support to Shinwell last season with distinctly mixed results. I tried to find examples where a young character added to a show was a benefit. Most of the ones I find are characters that are young, but adult, like Kitty, or even Lin. Shows like ER gave characters children, but it was in many ways an ensemble soap opera, and could do whatever with characters. Children could disappear for episodes at a time because home lives were a supplement to the action. It would be hard for a child to disappear for whole episodes on a show like this when there are two main characters, and we see most of their lives. A child can't be said to be in hibernation, like Clyde. As for Sherlock, he said that he doesn't personally want children because he doesn't want to pass on any of his troubles. He didn't react negatively to Kitty's child, but he isn't living with that child. Children are messy, loud, demanding, and chaotic. Right now, it would be very hard for him to deal with a child in his condition. 2 Link to comment

MissLucas May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 I wonder if the adoption plot was set up with the show ending after this season in the writers mind and preparing Watson and Holmes parting ways. If so the unexpected renewal must have caused quite some headaches. Whatever the case I can't see any adoption agency looking at the Brownstone full of weird stuff for Holmes' various experiments (not to mention Holmes himself) and going: 'Yup, this is perfect for bringing up a kid.' And while certain genres can definitely deal with a kid added to the main cast and plot (some even demand it) I'd say crime shows don't belong to that category. 7 Link to comment

Likewise the introduction of Michael, the suspected serial killer, but if they use him to highlight the issues with AA's 13th step, that I'll laud. I doubt it, though. This show seems to glorify AA. Quote I also resent how TV seems to have a problem portraying happy professional women living their lives without either having children or longing for them. Another strong NO KID! (of any age) from me. They did so well with Watson's sister's speech, then destroyed all the good they did with the show's coda of Watson seeking out adoption. I appreciate an actor getting involved with the show, as Lucy Liu has with directing - but this storyline of Watson wanting a child, if it is at Liu's behest, is a step too far. RIP, Reg E Cathey. I didn't know. What a great actor, a huge loss. I loved the "Jane Austin on Ice" alibi. Such a ridiculous, albeit entirely probable, concept.
