The comments about Alexis being able to get an apartment ... isn't that pretty much standard for TV? especially shows about young people in New York (like "Friends" ... although I never really watched it). And I'm always reminded of the depression-era studio executive who complained that a character was looking too prosperous with something along the lines of, "she's a schoolteacher, she can't be making more than $300, $400 a week" (in the depths of the depression, mind you).
Wash: I mean, I'm the one she swore to love, honor and obey. Mal: Listen... She swore to obey? Wash: Well, no, not...

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
On Friends they actually made it clear that Monica was illegally subletting her Aunt (I think)'s place and Phoebe got her's from her grandmother. Chandler and Ross both had good jobs and Joey occasionally didn't pay rent.
I always appreciated that about that show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The lighting in the final scene of Elementary made it look like she had opened the Maguffin suitcase from Pulp Fiction. Then again, it's probably as magical.
I've watched the episode twice, and the plot has fallen out of my brain both times right away. But I do remember the character notes, so...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cute allusion to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

Dear every set decorator ever:
The DC Metro does not look like the New York subway. Stop trying to reuse the sets.

Also, I am paralyzed with the stupid of Agent Keene.
Why the fuck did she not TELL somebody that she had spotted Barnes and that he was exiting the building. All they had to do is contain everyone that left the building (which they should have been doing any damned way) and the hostage situation would not have occurred.
Also, you know that you have a fucking crazy doctor on the loose and the guard just lets any jackhole in scrubs into the room?
The burn might be too much.

Amen.
Plus. You can get the names of some stations right, but call one Farragut East?
I don't get it.

Because books.
I was watching with half an eye, and I was so confused. I thought they were in NYC suddenly.

WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THE FBI LEAVE THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF A TERRORIST ATTACK UNGUARDED IN THE HOSPITAL?!?!?!?
I may need to break up with Blacklist over this. Srsly.
