The curse of Dexter extends its names to Elementary it seems. Freebo lives.

I really wish this show wasn't a murder of the week thing. I feel they could take it to much more interesting places handling other types of cases

I really liked the case Joan was working on with the missing veteran. If there's one reason I stick with this show, it's for the character building moments, especially when you see Sherlock and her going out to distribute blankets; I wonder if it implies that he wants to help her find her dad again? It's a nice thought. ![]() Also, Sherlock mentioned that her stepdad was a novelist. I'm getting more and more convinced that stepdad Watson's first name is John.

“Chemical‐laden” cigarettes, Sherlock, really? He should know better than that.

It's a nice thought. Agreed. The main case was just kind of there, and everything seemed more telegraphed than normal. I pegged the lawyer right away, and some of the over-explanation of the clues was driving me nuts. "We couldn't find her new MAN because it was a WOMAN... It was IRIS!" Normally this show is a lot better at avoiding dialogue like that. The B-story was good, though, and did a lot to expand on Joan and Sherlock's relationship. You know it's a good show when a weaker episode still manages to hold your attention all the way through.

Well, you can also throw a dart out of a window in LA and hit somebody with at least some basic ballet/dance training, so I imagine casting those extras was a whole lot easier than getting an actual ballet company.

Particularly for just one scene. Still, my ballet acquaintances would probably laugh at that casting (and 3 seconds of choreography). But, yeah, the main plot in that episode was less interesting than the B-plot (and now we know how Joan Watson got her last name, or was that mentioned before?). Also, am I the only one who noticed Jonny Lee Miller's voice has been odd for the past 2 episodes. Maybe he's had a cold or something.

His voice definitely sounded odd to me. Especially during the first half or so.

That's funny, I've also seen quite a few ballets and they felt about right. They're perhaps a little heavier than normal, but ballerinas are not waifs at all. They look like athletes, which they are. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pick fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 8, 2014 |

Sounds like he's just got a cold/is congested.

I seem to recall his voice doing the same thing around the half-way point of last season as well. Apparently winter in New York does not agree with him.

The episode felt like one they'd have aired after the Superbowl - something for new viewers to jump onto.

This episode fell a little flat for me. As mentioned above the main story was a bit hamfisted, but the secondary story and the outstanding jobs by the main cast still made it an excellent watch. When is the next episode? Seems like lots of shows have been taking frequent two or three week breaks between episodes lately.

I gotta ask. What is with the unusually infrequent episodes? Lately it seems like they're coming out every other week.

I think this time it could be Olympics? Could be wrong though and maybe they fell behind on timely shooting of episodes. The first season was way worse at this though if I remember correctly.

It's the combination of the usual winter break and then the Olympics. So shows still came back from break at the usual time, but then went back on break until the Olympics is over. TV scheduling!

Everything is getting pushed due to the Olympics. People keep asking in every TV thread it seems. Walking Dead is the exception because it does better than the Olympics.

Yeah, the Olympics always messes this up. However, it seems it extends to things it shouldn't. I think part of it is just an excuse to show reruns and make the "season" last longer. "Olympics!"

It's still kind of weird to have reruns during February sweeps.

"Are you allergic to cocks?" "The cock in my hand, how did it get there?" It's not exactly highbrow, but I laughed.

Really solid episode, Lestrade is awesome. Sherlock's ringtone was probably my favorite part, completely out of nowhere and hilarious. I also really enjoyed all the cock jokes, I didn't quite expect that sort of humor from this show.

Other than the part where Sherlock happened to find the exact time that Aurelius was testing the fuses, I enjoyed the episode. I hope they find a reason to bring back Sean Pertwee for more.

Didn't seem too far-fetched for me, but then again I don't tend to think too critically about tv shows. Hope we see more of the cocks.

I loved Joan/ "I'm not going to call them that. I'm not 12." "We own chickens now, don't we?"

I liked the spin on "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "Why is the chicken outside my door?" "To wake you up, of course!"

Yeah that was the perfect obnoxious song to choose for that. Also loved the not-so-subtle jab at TED talks and the fact that 99% of them are pretentious voids of verbal masturbation.

"I don't care which cock I'm holding, I just want to know how it got there" was worth it just for the look on Sherlock's face. In a show where Johnny Lee Miller makes perfect facial expressions regularly, this one stood out. I rewound that 3 or 4 times. I'm glad we got another Lestrade episode, since I really like this show's take on the character.

I'm only a few minutes into the episode but a server who "tried to unionize the dishwashers and hates the clientele" is just called a server. They're all like that.
