Athena July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Quote Holmes and Watson investigate the poisoning of a relocation expert and discover the man led a decades-long secret career as a contract killer before his death.

AnimeMania July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 It is kind of weird to have a Sherlock Holmes TV Series where you as the viewer don't get to use your brain to try to figure out what's going on based on the clues. I pretty much just turn my brain off and use enough of it to realize if the train has jumped the tracks with their latest revelations. It would have been a better story if Holmes had found the research on the new drug for cystic fibrosis and used that as leverage to make sure that the company lowered all their predatory drug prices. Still not interested in Joan and her baby blues. 7 Link to comment

vibeology July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 7 hours ago, AnimeMania said: Still not interested in Joan and her baby blues. I haven't been into it but there was something in the conversation with Joan and Sherlock last night that made me think maybe? It will bring about a change in dynamics and I think we might be due for that sort of thing. In the books, Watson marries and that changes things. This might be how the show is interpreting that? I still don't love it because then you have to write around a kid in a way that you don't really have to write around an adult but I think that the writers wanted to have that dynamic shift and Lui suggested adoption specifically because of her own experience and there we are. Like I said, I hit a "maybe?" yesterday but I doubt I'll grow much warmer on the idea unless the writers just knock it out of the park. 7 Link to comment

iMonrey July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 I too found the personal scenes between Joan and Sherlock much more engaging than the case of the week. One of the things you take for granted on this show is that everyone should know Joan and Sherlock are - well, Joan and Sherlock. So when something like what happened with Joan's lawyer happens, you think "Doesn't he know who he's dealing with? You can't just dismiss Joan that way." We know it, Joan and Sherlock know it. Doesn't everyone else? I liked when she explained the situation to Sherlock, she said "We're us. It would be simple to break into his office and find the notes." It's kind of like they are super heroes and have secret identities the general public doesn't know about. The case of the week was just too convoluted for me, and I've been having difficulty following them more and more this season. I also found that "incubus" weapon that sucks all the air out of your lungs and kills you especially disturbing and sick. Quote We finally got to see the King of Bohemia! It's interesting that they saved that for what they thought (for a while) would be the last episode. The case was boring, but the appearance of the King made it worth a watch. What do you mean by "finally?" Is this a character that's been mentioned before, or has he served some function in the books? Has everyone else already noticed the crystal ball motif that runs though this show? I see so many of them sitting on the various desks of all the characters, from Gregson himself to the latest murder victim. What's up with that? 3 Link to comment

Jesus Garcia July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 (edited) You know, the one thing I have dreading about this show is that the writers would decide to hookup Sherlock and Joan the way the way the writers on Moonlighting (1985-1989) did with their leads ... which ruined the relationship between Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and David Addison (Bruce Willis). It was a great show until then. The writers cheaply decided to make the hookup the series’ fan payoff -- with nothing left to do afterward. Heck, post-hookup it didn't look like Maddie and David even liked each other or had anything in common. Now, watching this episode last night, I think that Elementary's writers might have decided to avoid the "hookup as the series’ fan payoff" altogether and move straight through to Joan and Sherlock having a life together as more than business partners -- which is what I would really consider as “the payoff” after watching the show for 6 seasons. I have watched Sherlock and Joan change because and for each other. Sherlock is already on the record as stating that Joan is one of his loved ones; he’s admitted making special concessions / adaptations for Joan, he was devastated when Joan left the brownstone … and last night he comes right out to say that he would “lay down his life for her and for her child”: did everyone miss that Sherlock just made the supreme declaration of his love to Joan? We already know Joan and Sherlock will always be brilliant detectives, but in the aftermath, if the final episodes in the series set up Sherlock and Joan as finally living up to their potential as partners and parental figures – in defiance to the deficiencies Sherlock and Joan’s experienced from their parents … wow. And heck, they can still hookup in a mid-credits scene!!! Why not??? Edited July 31, 2018 by Jesus Garcia 1 4 Link to comment

thuganomics85 July 31, 2018 Share July 31, 2018 Oh, Joaquim de Almeida! Are you ever not a bad guy?! I kept thinking Gary was going to end up having nefarious reasons for why he was screwing over Joan's adoption, but it really was a case of him messing up the dates and just not wanting to admit it? Sheesh, talk about a dick. I did like them bringing in the King of Bohemia to fix things. I'm at the point where I think the adoption won't work simply because the producers won't want to have to change the Gravestone set too much. I say this with respect, but that place could serve as a location for a future Home Alone film, if a case ever arrises! 1 Link to comment

Maybe Ms Hudson could come back and be housekeeper AND nanny (I loved that character). On the other hand, maybe Joan would adopt an older child who needed a family. It would be fun to watch an older child/teen start learning the skills of the trade. It's always so interesting to me what shows/individuals are nominated for Emmys and then all the lists that come out that "identify" shows that have been overlooked. Usually the shows I consistently watch are left off of both lists; but the high level of acting on many of the shows that are ignored is just astounding to me. I think all of the actors on Elementary are excellent and overlooked. 12 Link to comment

I welcome the baby for it will add a new dimension to the show and the relationship of Sherlock and Joan. 2. With 5 seasons (I have the DVD's for the first 5 season that I have now watched twice) and now the 6th and there have been very few shows and the various cases but this is one I enjoyed. I want to be entertained and this show does it for me. 3. And like you I'm constantly amazed this show is not more popular.

Athena August 1, 2018 Author Share August 1, 2018 I really liked the case this week and found it less complex than the recent ones, but still interesting. I liked the use of the victim trying to frame a bad guy. Even the FBI guest star was useful and not corrupt. I have been at best indifferent to the baby plotline, but I am really starting to warm up to it. Sherlock and Joan really care about each other. Even though Sherlock is the one being more verbal lately about how much Joan's happiness means to him, Joan considers Sherlock and the brownstone home. I love the support they have for each other and it's one of the best platonic love stories on television. I love the unconventionality of them living together with a child, but that child would be loved, amazing and would have Sherlock as a father figure. He may not be a parent, but Sherlock will be important to that lucky child's development. It's really annoying how underappreciated this show is. I had a very bad day at work and on my commute, I was looking forward to catching up with this episode. It was a balm and a good way to end my day. I like that I don't have to think too much and the character aspects are so cozy and comforting. 7 hours ago, iMonrey said: Has everyone else already noticed the crystal ball motif that runs though this show?

MisterGlass August 1, 2018 Share August 1, 2018 I enjoyed this one. I must admit they are putting quite a bit of thought into the child story line. I appreciate that there are some obstacles to the process and that adoption is not just magically happening. Sherlock cleaning the 'viscera' out of the model house was amusing, and so was his concern that a child raised around detectives would easily defeat child safety locks. Two things struck me during the hitman plot, one random, and one morbid. First, it would be odd to have that many weapons hidden in a cabinet that had a pickable lock. Second, gallows humor demands that the suffocation device be called a succubus, not an incubus. 3 hours ago, seacliffsal said: Maybe Ms Hudson could come back and be housekeeper AND nanny (I loved that character).

It was introduced on what they assumed was their last season and it feels like they just decided Joan should have a baby even though it had never been a thing and decided she as the less damaged of the two should get a great reward ie a baby or a wedding. Two with both their skill sets and the great need for older adoptions I wish the entire focus wouldn’t a baby rather than even a slightly older child. I think it might end up there given her age, living circumstances and occupation but it just seems weird that babies are the only thing currently on the table. Three if they go through with it every episode of next season that does not expressly say where the child is is going to get commented on again and again and that’s going to be really annoying.

Set designers/dressers love little signatures like that.. Psych famously had its pineapples. Other shows have similar little touches. Just a little inside joke/nod for themselves. Very often, in many shows, when you see a family photo/photo of a loved one on a desk, most of the time, whoever is in that photo has some signifigence to the actor or set designer. 1 Link to comment

Are childminders who mind others' children from their own home not a thing in the US? They're often used instead of a daycare, or secondary to daycare (for example when a child has a fever and isn't allowed in daycare but parents still have to work) in my country. The childminders are often stay-at-home folks or at least home during regular working hours and children can be brought to them in the morning (and sometimes they'll bring them to school if the parent has to work before school opens) and/or after school. Sometimes those childminders also have kids of their own, sometimes they don't. Anyway, my point is that such childminders are often easy to "use" when something unexpected pops up, like cases for Joan. 2 Link to comment

A hitman would know that - though of course, a hitman would also know that it would be easy to discover, and thus, since he was known to be a hitman, it would be inconceivable that he would drink even a sweet wine tainted with cyanide, given its distinct odor (I know, I know, it does not always give off a scent, and not everyone can detect it). But now we're down The Princess Bride rabbithole ;) In other news, while I do enjoy the discussions between Sherlock and Watson, I am profoundly in the anti-child on the show camp.
