I have a feeling I'm not going to like Kitty.

New eposide was quite good.
Wasnt expecting much as last few from season 2 were very mediocre.
looking forward to the rest of the series now.

FloatingVoter · 04-11-2014 6:12pm

I'm opening the betting that Kitty is a Moriarty plant. Nobody that dumb gets close to the action without being supersmart at heart (poet and knows it).

Is it just me or is Joans attitude annoying any one else? Seems to think she is as good as or better than Sherlock now.

Mc Love · 16-11-2014 7:09am

Well look at it this way, he trained her up, and after spending a year or so away from him, she's developed her own style on the back of his training, so why should she just let him back in when he betrayed her by leaving.

groovie · 18-11-2014 2:32pm

It's personal; she really thought that they had something solid, and he just walked away without a word. Slack.

Is this weeks a part one?

Very weird abrupt ending.

I think it's a Two-Parter

A "To Be Continued...." would have been nice. Bit of a strange episode. This season so far isn't really quite floating my boat it must be said. I thought it was stronger in otehr seasons. Watson-lite is a good actress but they need to give her something of a storyline that revolves around her for an episode or two to get her bedded in. She's kinda just there for me at the moment. Gregson not being quite the regular he was isn't helping either.

Lucas Hood · 24-11-2014 9:57am

I don't think it is a 2 parter. Watson will probably find a good case while she is in Copenhagen.

Mars Bar · 24-11-2014 2:18pm

The moment in the kitchen between Sherlock and Joan was lovely. I really want to believe that he meant it!

Oh and finally a mention of his mother to the computer.

silverharp · 25-11-2014 11:51pm

does series 2 pick up? , on about the 3rd episode so far and it seems a bit flat

Mars Bar · 26-11-2014 1:19am

You're not at the Mycroft stuff yet?

Keep with it.

Mars Bar · 18-01-2015 11:08pm

Kitty's story is a slow burner but they are turning up the heat now. I feel Moriarty is going to make an appearance soon.

Exciting!

I never got around to finishing up series one so decided to finally go back and dirt that the other day. Really glad that I did as the final number of episodes were exceptional. The reveal of Irene was a beautiful and touching moment and was the kind of moment that elevates Elementary above Sherlock. There's a deeper understanding of the character here and Miller's take on Holmes is much more humane and believable.

The final scene of series one where Holmes and Watson sit back to watch the birth of the new species if bees was a wonderful reflection on the relationship which has been buit between the two.

Watching the first episode of series 2 and really looking forward to seeing how the show plays out.

21-01-2015 9:31pm

Can't believe I managed to fall so far behind but am so glad I did. Watching the second series on Netflix and just loving it. It's a show built around the relationship between the characters and never focuses on grotesque acts of violence, something which pretty much every other procedural does. Watching episodes of NCIS: New Orleans earlier this week and there's a moment in episode one where Scott Bakula looks genuinely disgusted spouting a one liner over a dead body part. It really stood out to me, it was unnecessary, distasteful and served no purpose other than to show how detached the character was.

While Elementary may feature moments such as the above, it never feels as callous and distant. Sherlock's inability to interact with others is a facade he hides behind, we saw it drop once and the scene of him reading the letter from Moriarity in episode 5 was further hinting at just how human he is. I know I've made my thoughts known beforw on how I despise the way shows such as Criminal Minds dehumanise victims so won't delve into again. Suffice to say that Elementary's treatment of death is up there with Longmire. It demonises the assailant, not the victim.

21-01-2015 10:14pm

Someone asked me how good Elementary, well it's so good that I just realised that I have a gig in a short while where I'm performing and I'm going to be late because I just wanted to watch one more episode.

I was looking for this the last day and couldn't find it. It just turned up on my Tumblr feed!

Another twist at the end of that episode. Excellent!

Agent Coulson · 24-01-2015 12:19am

Liked the twist but figured thats what it would be when I saw who it was at the start of the episode. (Actor wise)

Kitty's reaction at the end was really believable rally looking forward to see where they go from here.

Mars Bar · 24-01-2015 12:38am

I must admit to not seeing that twist at all! How did you figure it out with the actor? I googled him and found out that he's an Irish actor.

Yeah, Kitty's reaction was so good. It was pure panic and hurt. Ophelia Lovibond is becoming one of my favourite actors. It also helps that she replied to me on instagram so I was chuffed with that. She was on holiday in Kerry in the New Year.

Stuart Townsend had Hollywood at his feet a number of times and it never worked out for him.. He was cast as the Star of Lord of the Rings and was sacked just before filming began and was replaced with Viggo Mortensen, He was most famous for a few years after that for being Charlize Theron's other half.

Agent Coulson · 30-01-2015 2:26pm

A fantastic episode the emotion shown by Kitty and Sherlock at the end was the highlight of the season so far for me.

drugstore cowboy · 30-01-2015 4:44pm

Lucy Liu has always been the weak link in the show for me. I'm fine with having a female Watson as it was a fresh idea but her moany miserable face just turns me off.

I may have shed a tear or two. Wonderful writing and even better acting.
