Had a twist that involved tolling the statue of limitations on crimes, which is actually a pretty interesting notion but could have used a better episode to go with it. Not actively bad, just a boring episode. This season is really suffering for lack of an arc.

It really seemed like the hostage situation was completely unnecessary. And are we supposed to think that they should have taken that guy's case sooner because it turned out to be more important? Because that's a terrible message - don't prioritise because sometimes things that seem unimportant are really important.

I mean, the assault ultimately wasn't that important of a crime on its own even if it did lead to the son's death, that part was incidental.

The time limit already existed because of the statute of limitations and there's any number of ways to keep Joan from directly helping. Not that that really seemed to make any significant difference anyway.

That he shouldn't prioritise cases that seem important over ones that don't?

The message is that if you want the police/Sherlock to take your case seriously make sure to take a diner full of hostages and threaten to shoot them, that'll get their attention.

It's also pointing out that it's kind of a lovely thing that Sherlock spends his free time trying to solve 80 year old cold cases of no actual value while people who legitimately need his help get overlooked. Like we know that he thrives on the challenge and thrill of the exotic unsolved mystery, but the flip side is something like this.

The scene at the very end between Shinwell and his daughter was maybe the worst bit of acting I've ever seen on this show. Which was weird because both actors were fine in their previous scenes.

With a third of a season to go, I was really hoping to see some sort of final arc to begin to appear, with Moriarty one way or another, all fingers crossed. I highly doubt it will be renewed at this point, I was really hoping they'd go out with a bang.

It was like they were just reading their lines off cue cards for the first time. Also agree with the last couple of posts, if the Shinwell arc is it for this season

I thought the day-to-day mission was a pretty good example of what Elementary does well this time around. A lot of the cases are based on news stories, this is sort of based on three contemporary issues? I thought it was well done. Tired of Shinwell though.

Shinwells's story was alright in the beginning but it had a rough ending. I did like the idea of it though. I liked this mystery though. Despite its trappings, the central plot and motivations were pretty classic. It's always land rights! Also...guess Arturo didn't make the final cut. Alas.

I actually really like that a lot of the motivations are extremely credible and prosaic.

A surprisingly good episode about video games, even if the girls watching the stream were way too old to be in that guy's target demographic. Still miles better than the usual "You need to get to level 460 in the latest Car Stealing Murder Sim to unlock the secret message the hackers left in the code! But only on the X-Station U version with the virtual reality goggles!"

He has bleached blonde short hair in Trainspotting. I'm guessing he shaved it off after filming Trainspotting as it wasn't practical to get it back to natural?

The latest episode was cringeworthy since the beginning when Joan started talking about non-regulated environment of e-sports, but what really got me was the Czech stuff. With me being Czech I was laughing all when actors (mainly girls) were "speaking" Czech. It was incomprehensible gibberish which sounded like Russian, really. And being seen as some backwater country is always fun 28 years after the fall of communism.

Nah, all of this season will have been filmed post-Trainspotting as him and Carlyle filmed all their bits during the summer holiday. Perhaps he's just thinning up top and this was his solution?

I just checked the schedule for next new episodes and apparently Kitty's coming back. Not Moriarty (yet) but I guess the next best thing. Also, sounds like an arc.

"I'm still not a hugger Watson" Joan was right. That must've been one hell of a letter to get Gregson to be cool with the fact that she burned that guy's face with acid  Then again Kitty did help out his daughter and the guy was a monster.

I liked having Kitty back. The show is at its best when there's a strong third character for Sherlock and Joan to work with. Not sure about the kid angle, though. They already did that with Moriarty, which worked because it humanized her a lot in contrast to her super-villain role. Kitty doesn't really need that, and I'm kinda worried there might be something stupid in store like the father being Sherlock or the captain.
