ha! but I'm so tired of mediocre shit. I might just wait and see what y'all think.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

I was all on board with the idea of Elementary, but Lucy Liu seemed so vacant in the trailer. But that review/interview made me hopeful that it was a deliberate acting choice that I'd have to pay closer attention to. My very first DVR, we'll see if it works, and if I like, because goldurnit, 10pm shows are too late for me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I watched that "nuclear sub goes rogue" show tonight, that I already can't remember the name of. Holy crap is that a hot mess. It was kind of hysterical just trying to follow it. I'll be back to see if they can keep it up.

Andre ends up in some of the worst.(He's the best part, of course...he's Andre Braugher Although I loved "Men of A Certain Age"

I liked Elementary more than I expected to (which wasn't a whole lot, actually). I have never been a fan of Lucy Liu, and I actually didn't dislike her. And I loved the beehives on the roof, because I read some of Laurie King's books about Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell this summer.
I'll probably watch it again, but it's kind of like methadone for the BBC Sherlock.
Also, loved the Elvis at the end.

Elementary premiers tonight.
So. They got seriously off on the wrong foot with that opening. Once we got past the woman being assaulted, things picked up, and I'm totally saying I called the jogging.
All-in-all, I though there was a good balance between the two leads, but there seriously need to be more female supporting characters. The mystery was good, with an unusually sympathetic use of a serial killer, and I didn't find myself cringing once. So I think it can stay for now.

I'm afraid Elementary just made me cringe and long for Goren and Eames. Also, rice allergies are extremely rare in Americans. It develops after years of eating a rice-based diet. Normally, rice is used for elimination diets when looking for food allergies, because allergy to rice is so rare.
Also, I doubt if the phone would be admissible in court.
I thought Last Resort had more potential than I expected, but I can't see the premise lasting beyond a season.
