I am loving psyched for this new season though ahhhhhhh! That said, I hope we start with some more general episodes, then move back to wider arcs.

I thought the episode was honestly kind of weak, but I have hopes it'll improve. The nail doesn't make much sense (why not flush it, or even just wipe it off), and it'd take far longer than they think to dissolve anything like that in acetone. Acetone does dissolve plastic, but not at superhuman speed. Also, without observing the milk, they shouldn't have known whether it was cow milk or almond/rice milk, which wouldn't have been suspicious because it would have been lactose free and vegan (drinkable by either). If they had observed the milk, they'd have smelled the acetone.

I did like that aspect. "We have a nail  ."

I think having it set after his London heyday was inspired. We get to see new versions of characters as per the show, but we also see how they've changed over time. Double the money!

Sophia posted:I kind of liked that P=NP was the solution as it was possibly a (weak) reference to the fact that a few Conan Doyle stories are literally impossible given what we know of science now, even though at the time I'm sure they would have seemed plausible to people reading. Conan Doyle himself probably knew better - the Adventure of the Creeping Man being a good example here - but if it was a sort of purposeful wink to his small dalliances into fringe science solutions, I'm a fan. I think that's a good example of why following ACD's work exactly would be pretty silly. It's better that the references are just flavor.

It's pointed out in an earlier episode that he can't drink right now as part of his process.

Even their "moments" on the show somehow never feel romantic. They're moments, between people, not SHAG MEEEEE communicated in eyetalk.

It's also okay for things to be simple sometimes. You don't want to go all CSI.

Something complicated is in the works, I think... I'm betting Abigail told Graham and maybe the mom how to do it, maybe together. Let's see!

VDay posted:I really liked that episode, although the fact that the one dude from the victim's company apparently got a slap on the wrist for dressing up a dead body in a latex suit was kind of weird. That seems like it'd be pretty drat illegal, especially considering he didn't report it and just went home. He didn't even have to, loving your stepson is certainly going to violate that morals clause anyway!

pentyne posted:The whole "I'm a seriously bad person who will hurt someone the moment it gives me an advantage" seemed a little trite. The more they try to emphasize Sherlock's dark side without him doing anything seriously dark the less I believe his claims of being some monster. Outside of him torturing the man he thought killed Irene Sherlock hasn't done anything shocking or repulsive that would make Watson wary of him. Having him abduct and stab a man is way more payoff than you see with the average "dark" character, and I don't think you're supposed to see Sherlock as seriously dark, just dangerously gray.

Gregson is great casting, somehow he seems approachable and nice but still when he needs that hard edge it's like BAM!

johntfs posted:I've seen very little of the BBC Sherlock, but it seems to be something where the leads and set could be transported whole back to the 19th century with no real impact to the show. Well, he'd certainly stab you with an ice pick! In my mind, the biggest difference is Sherlock is House-like in its "well, he's smart, so he gets to be an utter poo poo to everyone since, let's face it, he's basically a superior human" when Elementary explicitly rejects that idea.

Also, I've never heard dead clade walking in reference to dinosaurs, and normally it's just people arguing over timeline revisions. Even with the meteor strike no one thinks all dinosaurs died that week. Anyway, the bone fragments with the matrix is just as good, you definitely don't need a complete skeleton when you're just confirming age, but even if it were required they have evidence in the form of the scan from earlier combined with the rubble.

Jorghnassen posted:OK, maybe I've seen too many ballet recitals, but those dancers look way too heavy for pros. Ballet girls are really skinny (and generally boob-less). 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.

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 is ridiculous how much the fans have latched onto the animals that show up but I am absolutely not complaining. It is really funny to me that Elementary's fanservice is not T&A, but instead a tortoise.
