Man, I had to google who Morland was. (He's Walter, btw.)

I don't know. Criminals are very often panicky dumbshits who make bizarre decisions. And while such cases would seldom reach Holmes as regular policing clears them up easily enough, this one just happened to involve commercial explosives and an accidental cartel misdirect.

BBC's Sherlock thinks viewers want to vicariously feel like special snowflakes. How do you fit Hounds of Baskerville into that? Answer: Poorly. Elementary doesn't have that problem. I expect they'll do a little better.

Tiggum posted:On the other hand, Joan knowing all the super heroes' back-stories because her brother was a fan was pretty dumb. I certainly can't go into that sort of detail on stuff my siblings like. Oh man, I loved that. I took it as implying that her experience in dealing with spergy obsessives goes back to her early childhood.

Blind Pineapple posted:It would've been a lot more interesting if they weren't related and their only connection was Mycroft having a thing for middle-aged Asian-American professionals and seeing them both at the same time. That would've opened some intriguing possibilities. Plus, it would've been absolutely hilarious. Much better than the sister, who's kind of a poo poo. I just watched the first episode and hope the second gets rid of her somehow.

Tiggum posted:I thought Joan was being obnoxious and the sister's attitude and reaction was pretty understandable. She was immediately cagey and manipulative. Her, 'help me or you're a pussy,' line to Holmes was enough that I want her gone.

Tiggum posted:That's really just a hazard of the genre. The best writers make it look like a magic trick, leaving the audience utterly confused until the reveal when everything falls into place. Less good writers have to explain stuff along the way, and since you can't address the audience directly you have to have one character explain things to another that they should already understand. It went from B-grade television puffed up by James Spader's Spadering to In Which James Spader Receives A Regular Paycheck. After the writing hit -- Keen: "Red's been shot!" Man #1: "Getting shot's bad!" -- levels of quality, I bailed. It's unwatchable.
