Yeah, I never liked Mycroft, but Morland is already pretty loving cool  .

Wildcard dad. I'm still not sure the role he's going to play if he's in and out all season.

I'm enjoying the crap out of Morland, but I have to say, it's kind of conspicuous that Mycroft hasn't even been mentioned. I didn't really like the Mycroft episodes but hasn't Holmes even considered that it could be a factor in what's going on?

Probably because Rhys Ifans ended up seeming gross and weird.

Tiggum posted:I think Watson is supposed to be considerably younger than Liu though. I remember in one episode Sherlock asks her if she plans to have children in the future and she's quite non-committal about it, like she has plenty of time to worry about it later. Liu herselfonly just had a kid between seasons.

By the way, as someone who has articulated skeletons, lol at the idea you could even do that step in one night, much less flesh and bleach the loving thing.

Dragonatrix posted:Watching it right now and... the crime was done over (a marginally different but very obvious version of) ET for the Atari 2600?? This is a weird episode concept, jeez. It feels like the writers have done something very smart and to keep the episodes novel and "hard to figure out"; they always use a component of some news article or cutting-edge thing. It doesn't solve the mystery but it adds a new "rule" that other mysteries haven't used yet, or had to use differently.

I find it amusing to go back to S1 and Sherlock being a horndog was such a kind of annoying but persistent character facet, and now they've largely dumped it as far as I can tell.

I think they were really trying to drive home that Sherlock and Watson, FOR REAL, were not going to get together (even at the end of the season!!) At this point the characters are well established enough that it would be weird as gently caress if they did.

I did think they were making Morland out to be a little too obviously good, needed a switcharoo and then maybe a switch back, or not, who knows! But either way Morland is great.

Blind Pineapple posted:Morland is easily the most intriguing character on this show since Moriarty. Season 4 is shaping up to be way better than 2 and 3. I agree, though Seasons 2 and 3 were still both excellent. Season 1 - Holmes and Watson become friends sort of, Moriarty/Irene stuff gets told in a cool and fresh way Season 2 - Mycroft is gross go away Mycroft (no one even remembers this stuff except something about French people) Season 3 - Kitty, a wildcard, joins the team, Sherlock and Watson have to mend their broken trust, Sherlock relapses Season 4 - Dad's in town and he's living up to his three-season-long reputation as one bad motherfucker

I think they tend to dump the less complex/"poorer" mysteries on episodes that are more interesting for other reasons (Sherlock's dad).

They seem to semi-intentionally dump the boring mysteries on the episodes that have something bigger going on.

The plot is based on the real-life case of Frédéric Bourdin, by the way, whose ears were used to prove he was a nutty French guy and not a Texas teen. e: And he did accuse the family of accepting him because they may or may not have killed the boy he impersonated; David Grann wrote an article about it which can be read in The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, fittingly enough.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:I just think that having Elementary go beyond 5 seasons would be a mistake. We've already had Mycroft, Holmes and Watson temporarily splitting up, Sherlock relapsing, and now we're dealing with Sherlock's dad. The only thing left that's big enough to be a season-long arc is Moriarty, and god knows it's hard getting hold of Natalie Dormer these days. I sort of agree, but I'd really like some resolution with Moriarty if possible because the challenge she presented to Sherlock felt like a very important one. I think you could even do it in a voiceover if you had to, though, that people "like them" can be "people". That despite being extraordinary they are not inherently isolates.

Eh, not as fun as last week's and they built it up as a bigger moment in the season plot than it was. Not bad though!

I keep wondering if the "two years ago" thing is important because that's also when Mycroft disappeared. Mycroft = murder?! Maybe the only way he could hope to get away with it is from under deep intelligence cover, and he'd know what Sherlock looked like. He sets up his dad to think Sherlock tried to kill him and Mycroft gets all the monies  .

It just wasn't a good one. Also, there... wasn't anyone else for it to be really. It would have been all right if they'd focused on the "how" and not the "who", the "who" was dead clear and super boring.

I think if varies, there are more duds recently but when they're done well they're done well. I really liked the one with self-driving cars, it's a good "follow the money" episode.

The relationship is cute, although it's a shame I feel with Dormer as famous as she is we'll never get any Moriarty resolution.

Yeah, there's absolutely no "magic". I like it too. He might already know some things, but they're never anything so obscure it strains credibility.

It's interesting that I can almost always guess the case if I know the news story they pulled from (but the mystery is usually good anyway); this was one such example. This was a reference to Citigroup Center. The mystery was surprisingly credible, I liked it a lot.
