I suspect we're going to get at least some of the post-proposal/pre-DC story in upcoming episodes.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That's how I took it too.

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

I missed a couple Mentalist things and don't have interest/energy to go back:
1) Why didn't Jane attend the wedding?
2) Wait, I forgot the other thing. Shit. Right! Where did the wedding dress come from?
