Always Anti-fascist!
I think it's cute too, TB. Kind of in a retro way, but I would have watched "White Collar" when I was thirteen too so I mean that in a fond way.(of course, in those days, I wouldn't have been quite comfotrable with that whole "Pretty. Want." feeling I have about Bomer sometimes, nor quite understood why it was a lost cause) Maybe Critics are too jaded, or always looking for that decade-defining show, which "Laura" clearly is not, but I don't feel like my time is defiled by looking at it or anything

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I stopped watching Gracepoint about four eps in because of time and it just wasn't as good as Broadchurch. But I watched the final ep and I liked the culprit(s) better, somehow. And of course, if you're going to remake a show and change the villain, why would you try to make it less horrible at the reveal? It was going to have to be on an equal level of horrible, except now a good portion of their audience has already seen that Horrible, so you need a new one, of equal or greater value. Or really great writers to make the intrigue even greater in some Machiavellian way. Like Detective Miller having done it.
Fucking Millers.

What did you think of the ending, msbelle? Did you have anyone picked as the killer? Did you feel like it was out of left field?

Out of left field, the meeting stuff anyway. The actual killer part I had thought since ep 1 or 2.

Yeah, I was thinking I would have had the same feeling. Except I'm not sure whether I would have had him pegged him early.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
About Elementary, I would just like to say I consider Holmes's observations and recommendations about Watson's love life to be... a little like when Spike kept trying to tell Buffy she belonged in the shadows with him.

I do note that since Joan went on to make dinner, she obviously has the sense to realize that Holmes may be a great detective, but is not someone to take advice from on your personal life

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm not clear on this: do you mean that you think Sherlock has romantic feelings (or just pantsfeelings) for Joan, and is trying to bring her around to his way of thinking? Or that he just gives bad advice because he thinks she should share his views on romantic attachment?

I didn't get that vibe from the final scene where she was setting the table. I got the vibe that she was conflicted.
