Did anyone watch Bones last night? A friend from high school played the exercise drill master at the beginning. Not a big role but fun to see him there.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

I gave up on Bones a couple seasons ago, but that is neat, Suzi.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I half-watch it anymore. But hey, how often do you get to watch someone from high school panic-strip on national television? That's fun stuff.

Yep!!! I am not a regular Bones watcher, but had to catch the ep when he said he would be in it.

I like to think ita is somewhere where she could have seen tonight's Person of Interest.

So, Sherlock shot up after he beat up Oscar, yes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Looks that way.

I generally like AV Club's reviews and their commenters, because the regular commenters there are fairly civilized and aren't there to troll and fight. So I'm reading the comments on AV Club's review of this episode, and I'm hit SO HARD by how many people are posting variations on "I don't understand why Sherlock would relapse after finding out Alfredo was alive," etc.
HE'S AN ADDICT. This is what they DO. He said it in S1 to Irene (when he still thought she was Irene): he told her about how his "dabbling" with narcotics turned into an addiction after he thought she died, followed by rehab, and she said "You're better now," and he replied "I'm *sober* now. I'll always be an addict."
As with all fiction, our response to it is colored by what we bring to it, so my opinion comes from the fact that I am from a family full of alcoholics. I think this show has done fantastic work with the through-line of Sherlock's addiction, and the daily grinding struggle to stay sober. I can't wait to see how this develops next season.
(And it's kind of crushing to see him relapse, but that's my own issues speaking, and I know that. Plus [spoilers for Arrow] finding out that Quentin is drinking again is also pretty depressing. But realistic.)

I'm a little meh on this episode because, for me, Oscar so pointedly trying to make Sherlock relapse is narrative overkill. And whether he did or not seems ambiguous to me.
