Oh, good. Not just me. I was disappointed that Reed didn't bring that up as a possibility.

I didn't have trouble with Prentiss buying an expensive place--she seems to have come from lots of money.

TCG brought that up too.

I thought it looked like a communcator too.

and I. I didn't have trouble with Prentiss buying an expensive place--she seems to have come from lots of money.

I know that she has money, but she didnt strike me as the knind of personality tomspend that kind of money unless she really wanted something. She was ambivalent at best, I think And, the distance still isn't worth it. Trust. There is no such thing as "going against traffic" in DC.

More belated Castle commments: Do Not Want the new captain. She made me hyperventilate with annoyance on 24, and she's doing the same here. I'm not enjoying hating her. I just hate her.

I got my free week of Hulu Plus so I could watch all of season 4, and am now in the middle of Kick the Ballistics, where Ryan's old gun is used in an execution. I love the little things, like as Beckett and Castle are bursting into the interrogation room to haul Ryan off the undercover cop, Esposito is standing back and grinning.

Comment on Sherlock (As long as they have Lestrade, technically it has a procedural aspect right?). How did Sherlock get fooled into thinking the corpse was Irene? Either Irene found a corpse who was her twin from the neck down on very short notice, or she found a body double years ago and killed her and mutilated the face when she needed to fake her death. The third explanation is that Sherlock knew it wasn't her, but pretended to be fooled to help Irene survive, and the "heartbreak" was just acting. Any possible explanations besides those three? (Well other than the writers left a plot hole either because they missed it, or because they weren't going let a gaping plot hole get in the way of telling the story they wanted to tell.)

Handwavium? didn't watch, so I have nothing substantive to add.

It didn't make sense to me either - unless he was somehow in on it.

Perhaps he could tell it wasn't her but felt that pretending she was dead was better?

ETA: Possibly to see what she would do next.

He might have had some doubt, not enough to say it wasn't her but enough to let it play. Please he's dealing with feelings he doesn't like in front of his brother.

I was more concerned with where Irene got the body.

Poor, dear John, so jealous and so determined to make Sherlock happy.

What happened to Irene's female assistant? Did we ever see her again?

I thought that she was the one who got John into the car when he went to see Irene. Is Mycrioft's assistant working for Irene, or do they just look alike?
