'Heart Of Gold'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
It's that the new backstory doesn't add anything to the character, other than to make her seem more saintly, and to elicit sympathy from the viewers, which really wasn't necessary.
I have enough faith in the writers for Elementary that I'm pretty sure that this is just a blip, and not an ongoing direction for the show.
I'm currently watching the wedding episode of Sherlock. That part of the speech, where he's babbling on to mask that he's trying to work out who's going to get murdered - he sounded and acted exactly like the Eleventh Doctor.
You think? I think Eleven is far kinder in his babbles when he's trying to figure something out. Rapid-fire, but less... Sherlock.
(I've been mainlining Eleven again. It happens.)

Absolutely. Sherlock wasn't being unkind in that portion of the speech either. And the rapid-fire delivery, flappy hands, finishing sentences in places far removed from their original destination, all quintessential Eleven.
What I find interesting about it is not that Sherlock suddenly channeled Eleven. They're written by the same person, after all. What I found interesting was why Sherlock was doing so. Per his orders from Head!Mycroft (there's no doubt a thesis or two to be penned about Sherlock picturing and accepting Mycroft in that role), he was doing so to keep control of the room. (Not his usual intent. He can normally act as though that's a given.) The way to do that, apparently, is flappy hands and babbling. Which of course is why Eleven does it too.
I really need to catch up on (as in see any of) Elementary, because the Who=Holmes has been a thing with me with Sherlock since I started watching. And I suspect it's on some level it was a thing that influnced Doctor Who from the get go; it's just now a little more explicit.
Aw, Audrey Horn all grown up and running a brothel on CSI. I am not sure how I feel about that.

The Master, as I recall, was specifically Moriarty-influenced at creation.

And the batshit crazy version of Moriarity in Sherlock is pretty close to the last incarnation of The Master.
