Woo!

All is well that ends in pizza.

The Mentalist could have ended this week, right there.

Yes. I was pleased with the way they're drawing things together to end them.

Then the preview that someone's not going to survive next week kinda ticked me off. Why should someone have to die, this close to the end? Seems stupidly sensationalistic, and a good way to alienate whichever of us are hanging on to the end.

Steph, definitely VERY impressed with Kitty last night.

Elementary: What a satisfying story arc for Kitty. She was great, yes. As I was watching the goodbye phone call, I was thinking... are they going to do a spinoff?

Couple of great lines, my favorite of which was "Welcome to the club," after he was telling Joan she wasn't the first person to be taken in by a brilliant psychopath.

I figured she wouldn't end up killing him, but I was kind of surprised they actually went there with the disfiguring. Though, they kind of foreshadowed that she was the "Oh, yes, I'll go there," person with the beatdown on that other guy's sister.

That final flashback, oh, my, with the crying. And then the relief.

ETA: And I want to try that rubber band/door chain trick.

I think the disfigurement was a nod to Kitty Winter's storyline in The Adventure of the Illustrious Client. In that story, Kitty Winter was abused by the evil baron, tried to convince another woman of his evilness, and ended up throwing vitrol in his face. [link]

The scene with Sherlock and Kitty in the warehouse was AMAZING. As was the final flashback. I don't know why JLM isn't getting all the awards.

And Joan's dress at the benefit shindig was killer.

Huh. I either posted somewhere else, or the itnernet ate my thoughts. Trying again:

Excellent. I did not have that knowledge (clearly). And I'm glad our Kitty escaped from New York (heh) for the nonce.

Seriously, possibly the best episode this show has done.

I concur.

Also, Del’s carriage house is one block away from where I live.

Apparently you can break in with a rubber band.

That was some really excellent Elementary. Well done all around.
