Well, maybe not the "tried to unionize the dishwashers" part. I can easily accept "hates the clientele." I really liked the scene where Lestrade admitted his real situation to Sherlock and you come to understand that Lestrade himself had become a version of a prostitute. I love the way this show takes characters from the Conan Doyle canon and stretches them by putting them in situations far different from those in the stories.

The two fighting cocks were getting along by the end of the episode.  It was like the hole in the skull metaphor a few episodes ago. Really liked the episode, it was a lot of fun.

One of the things I love most about Elementary is their consistent writing of fully realized people as their characters. You can see the waiter and Miss Truepenny being the protagonists of their own stories within the larger episode. I kind of felt bad for Miss Truepenny, especially after she was on the receiving end of Joan's "I don't do coconut water" death stare.

I just got around to watching this episode and I'm confused. Why hasn't the thread title been changed to 'Do you have an aversion to cocks?' yet?

Blind Pineapple posted:I'm glad we got another Lestrade episode, since I really like this show's take on the character. If he's living with Sherlock we might well get another one. "Waiting for a check to clear" is a vaguely ambiguous timeline.

When Lestrade was chugging brandy and starting to explain the situation, I thought he was going to admit that he had slept with the CEO in exchange for his job, but I suppose being a pimp is a lot shittier than boning your boss. I hope we get to see more of Remus and Romulus, as well as more cock jokes.

I didn't think they'd go there with LeStrade, but I liked that they effectively went somewhere even more shameful. Instead of just sleeping with the CEO, he helps drag other people into the guy's bed. He goes from famous, GREG-chatting detective to amateur corporate pimp.

I was left with the impression they were writing this part directly and kinda indirectly implying the other thing happened too.  Lestrade's a jerk but I hope he gets his life sorted out with some wacky housemates-and-animals adventures.

There's an episode tonight, right? I hope Lestrade's in that one too, so he gets something happier on-screen than the last affair. It'd sit a lot better than it being shunted to off-screen antics between episodes at least. Also I just want to see more Lestrade. Making him a gloryhound was really clever, and it works so, so well.

 New Episode TonightEars to You (guest star spoiler but it's probably who you're hoping it is) Holmes and Watson consult on a case in which a man suspected of murdering his wife years ago receives a ransom demand for her safe return. Meanwhile, Lestrade overstays his welcome at the brownstone and seems unwilling to leave.

I figured the ears were going to be genetically engineered in some fashion, but that visual was still creepy as gently caress. Lestrade was great again this week showing a wide range of emotions. Lestrade and Watson really played well off each other. Given how little chemistry Joan and Mycroft showed together, I think it would've been a lot funnier for Lestrade to be the ghost from Sherlock's past that she hooked up with.

My husband likes to turn procedurals into a sort of game where we try to solve them. He is very thoughtful about it, while I pull things out of thin air because I think it's funny. He was really mad that my "she pulled a lebowski but with ear rats" theory turned out to be essentially correct.

I initially thought that it would've been better if it turned out that Joan actually framed Sherlock as helping Lestrade in order to give him the ego boost, but I kind of like that part of it was just dumb luck. Still, really neat take on the character and I hope he keeps turning up in later episodes/seasons. Really liked the episode overall, although the fact that the missing lady's plastic surgeon husband wasn't immediately a huge suspect or looked into when she turned up was kind of goofy. My immediate reaction when they said that she's married to a plastic surgeon was "Oh well that dude's obviously involved with the ears", but then they just kinda forgot about him until the end. Still a pretty neat twist though.

I don't know what species Clyde is, but turtles can usually live really really long lives. Like average 50+ years to over 100, for a common eastern box turtle.

After all my channels got changed (guessing due to TCW being bought by Comcast?) I noticed that the next Elementary is on Sunday night due to the NCAA Tournament in the listings. Stuff online still says 3/13 air date, are some people still getting it on Thursday?
