Easy peasy

As long as you don't walk to or from a car, sure. I know at least once he wasn't hooded then.

I hate when they indulge the loopy person (Ma Castle, not the guy being interviewed) so it was exasperating from the start.

Oh, right. Well, he was faking it most of the time. So. they were lucky there.

I'm not sure I like this. Why can't Mycroft just be Mycroft?

I don't usually watch and I tuned in tonight -- is this Mycroft always sort of evil?

Man, I dislike Elementary's Mycroft. And I generally like Rhys Ifans (although major ICK on Joan sleeping with him [not because he's Sherlock's brother, but because I don't find him attractive]). But I have no idea what the show is doing with his character. I want the restaurant business to be a front for his Super Secret world government whatnot. And I want him to just be...not so offputting.

I pretty much don't compare Cumberbatch's Sherlock with Miller's Sherlock, but I can't help but compare the rest of the cast. BBC Mycroft is so damn perfect that Elementary Mycroft makes me sad. (Of course, the flip side is that I loathe BBC Moriarty but think that Elementary Moriarty is brilliant and perfect.)

After this week's SHIELD and Arrow, I have zero feels left, so I can't get myself too worked up about Joan getting kidnapped. I think I *should*, but all my feels have been depleted already. Stupid Arrow.

And Sherlock stashing away the heroin was unsurprising. I may have *some* feels about that.

is this Mycroft always sort of evil?

I have NO idea what the show is doing with him! I assume there's actually some Big Plan behind the scenes (within the show, I mean), but not knowing at least the outline of that plan is making me like him less and less.

(I had to edit this post for typos so many times that I definitely need to go to bed NOW.)

Next week's episode is directed by Lucy Liu.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that this means that Joan Watson flays all of her enemies with a katana.

Saw an old Mentalist where Jane solved the mystery because he knows that *nobody* likes beef barley soup (other than someone who was deprived as a child and has deep food issues). This show really is big on the writers validating their personal quirks and preferences as universal truths ...

Signed - loves beef barley and has never been underfed in his life.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that this means that Joan Watson flays all of her enemies with a katana.

I am going to be so disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Now that idea is in my head, I too will be very disappointed.

Wow. Beef barley soup is one of my faves, and yep (looks at belly) no underfeeding issues here. Beef barley soup is a comfort food for me, because that was one of the soups my mom made for me when I was sick.
