We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

>What subtext?
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?

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

Well there is not subtext and the moment, but they are implying sexual attraction between Watson and Holmes. (Only in the song, though Holmes acting dickish over the ex could be take that way. Also as him just being a pain.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm finding myself increasingly nostalgic for police procedurals that care whether the case will hold up in court.
And people wonder why I continue to watch old old L&O episodes and Columbo.

I do too. ION is running four hours of L&O:CI this afternoon.

Major Crimes. But you have to put up with way too much Rusty. And the whole veteran police officer who is offended by plea bargains. What does he think happened between the prosecutors and the defense lawyers after Brenda got her confessions?

Isn't that what your seven million flavours of CSI are meant to address?

I'd be very surprised if they were doing anything more complex than playing a song with the word "detective" in it.
