I'm also enjoying Elementary -- it's much more House than Conan Doyle, but I like it!
Although every time she says "companion," I can't help but think of Inara.

Given that they played a few bars of 'watching the dectectives' at the end of the fist episode,they are definitely thinking subtext.

the only experience I have of "Watching the Detectives" is the show History Detectives on PBS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What subtext?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am on the same page as Jesse, both with House and Inara.

I'm finding myself increasingly nostalgic for police procedurals that care whether the case will hold up in court.

I'd say the choice of music indicates they are thinking of adding some. Does not mean they will, but if the though had not crossed their mind I can't see them using just the following lyrics:
"Watching the Detectives - cute! Cute! cute!
"Watching the Detectives - shoot! shoot! shoot!
Doesn't that look like a hint they are thinking add subtext somewhere along the line?

I'm asking what subtext--subtext of what? I'm completely lost here. I don't get the code.

I don't, either. But I miss subtext a lot. I thought it was just the show thinking it was clever. Look! They're detectives! And the audience is watching them! Let's use this song!
Which is fine, because I loves me some Elvis.
