basil July 27, 2018 Share July 27, 2018 Quote Both incidents that were mention are real incidents. The UC Santa Bárbara was the other one The UC Santa Barbara incident may have been the basis for Sherlock's comment about a member "who went on a rampage at his college, killing 12 people, mostly women", but Elliot Rodger, the incel who killed at UC, managed to kill only 6 people, 4 men, 2 women. The 1st 3 murders (all men) were killed not at the college, but at Rodger's own apartment. 2 women were killed at a sorority, and the 4th man was shot at a deli. Like I said, literary license.

Me too. And sadly, I wasn't even sure if I'd missed a shooting - they've started to blur together at an alarming rate. Link to comment
EAG46 July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 I just started college when the Montreal tragedy happened. I remember it. It made me aware that there were men hostile to feminists. It made me more of one. That was nearly 30 years ago. Maybe the Elementary producers wanted people to be aware that violent misogyny is nothing new. 3 Link to comment

But would the price on resale drop sooner if it's "out of style," or does it's being Worn On TV (especially by Joan) keep the price high? I wonder if I had the means to quit my job if I would buy the dress on eBay or use my free time (and money) to buy fabric and a sewing machine (gave away my last one 17 years ago when moving across country for this job) and copy it (yes, I could)? 1 Link to comment
johntfs June 21, 2020 Share June 21, 2020 Currently rewatching this on Hulu. I love the depth of thought that Sherlock put into helping Marcus. He carefully considered Marcus's values and personality. Then he used his (apparently considerable) influence and contacts within various US Law enforcement and intelligence agencies to secure the Marshal's Service's offer to Marcus. Plus, on a side note, consider that the Homeland Security agents were perfectly fine accepting Holmes' direction in terms of when they could apprehend the Black Pill site admin. While it's never outright stated, it's pretty clear that word has gotten around that "If Sherlock Holmes calls, you take his call because it will almost certainly be worth it." 1 Link to comment
