Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I said, "Dude, your wife is a super secret agent - you think she won't figure out what you are up to?"
This Watson really is an adrenaline junky.
The story in Sherlock is compelling, but for sheer character love, I'm with Elementary all the way.
And isn't about time we had another RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie?
Finally watched Sherlock and I was...underwhelmed. Felt like a lot of treading water (like when Mary traveled the earth for 10 minutes and whadda ya know, Sherlock found her and they all went home.) I wasn't even all that bummed when Mary was killed. Is it just me, or do y'all think she was killed off because the actors are divorcing? Hoping they get into the Moriarty storyline next ep and that it is more engaging - and I don't really love Moriarty. My Cumbercrush will keep me tuning in though! He never disappoints.

That reminded me a lot of the old Monty Python sketch about the Hide & Seek World Championships.
I am less and less into Sherlock as time goes on. I like the characters quite a bit (although the Watson flirtation thing just irritated me) but the plots have been...not to my taste for a couple-three seasons. And I don't like Sherlock telling me intuition should not be dismissed.
Meh.
I love the characters but many of the stories, or elements thereof, have not been much to my liking. I strongly dislike BBC's Moriarty, and I hated what they did with Irene. I did love the Victorian throwback dream episode, though. And I love Mary a lot, I'm afraid they killed her off to have a reason for tension between S/J and that sucks like a chupacabra.

Not sufficient wrods in the world to agree with that.
The Watson flirtation just seemed so shoehorned in to, I don't know, make him more conflicted? Complex?
Dunno. Seemed unnecessary in intent and stilted in execution.
I also don't think that Watson (John) is written to bring a whole lot to the table in terms of solving the various cases, and that's a shame.
Joan Watson in Elementary is given a lot more to do (though I have some issues with how she's written), and it's marvelous. Although it's kind of unfair to compare a show that has 3-episode (albeit 90-minute episodes) seasons spaced years apart vs. a show with 22 episodes per season, because the latter allows for a lot more stories and character development.
Exactly my feeling, brenda.
My primary objection to Sherlock is that it takes time away from producing Doctor Who. And Moriarty. But mostly the Doctor Who thing.
