I was glad that he fucked things up for her in DC because it showed that there were more issues than the geographic which, as noted, should have been a non- issue from the start.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I suspect we're going to get at least some of the post-proposal/pre-DC story in upcoming episodes.

I've been watching "Vera" - English, based on books by Ann Cleeve. It stars Brenda Blethyn and I love hearing the northern-English (I think they're northern) accents. They're really well done, but so so SAD.

What a fantastic episode of Elementary that was! Great character stuff, fun case, sparkling dialog -- one of the best the show has done. And that letter at the end, oh my.
Vonnie, I really enjoyed this episode too. The not even veiled references to Anonymous, not withstanding.
I love the Victorian romance in Holmes' behavior...and his ingenuity. Especially, the free weights + bicycle rim + fireplace cooking. I doubt it would actually work, but I love the idea of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm the anti-cross-poster what cross posts at midnight: Elementary and Sleepy Hollow writers twitter fight. Spoilery to the degree of photographs of antagonists of each series, and socks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So many sparkly hearts!

I enjoyed this Elementary. I was annoyed by the gratuitous slamming of Snowden. Yeah I know, fictional character - but labeled Snowden in blinking neon. Only the real Snowden went out of his way to avoid exposing people in deep cover - not only agents but sources. Also the real Snowden had no trouble getting dates - had a live in girl friend who was very conventionally attractive. So a minor annoyance. They plot did not required making Ezra/Snowden an exceptionally loathsome murdered. If they decided to make him the bad guy, they did not need to take the gratuitous swipes. I get the impression that the episode writer really hated Snowden, and decided to just make him a cartoon villain. Still like the espisode, cause if I let political disagreement stop me from watching otherwise good stuff, I'd have a pretty short sad list of things I could watch. But still going to bitch about it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I read the making him a murderer as a way out of having to deal with the moral quandry of whether finding him and turning him in was ethical.

That's how I took it too.

And the reason they had him threaten to expose uncover agents, and have trouble getting dates?
