Connie, I don't know her name, but anytime she was on L&O she was always the killer.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Elementary people too. This last episode the murderer was way too obvious.
well, I didn't know who it was.
Me, neither.
I guess I don't watch enough TV.
Me, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's awesome about watching the old L&Os is that sometimes the killer is the person who went on to become the most famous.

Sometimes shows will have the famous actor playing someone related to the victim. I remember seeing Robin Williams on H:LOTS as the husband of a tourist who gets killed. I think it was the first time I ever saw him in a straight up dramatic role. I was pleasantly surprised.

He did that as a personal favor to Barry Levinson, who needed a name to keep his show from being cancelled.(Baby Jake Gyllenhaal is a victim's son because his dad, Stephen, directed.) The first ep of TV David Simon ever wrote on, and as you can probably tell, one I consider hugely underrated. Could I sound more like Abed right now? But Melissa Leo killed it in that one. As did all the teens they cast. "I had the power, but forgot who I was." (/Procedural Abed)

Procedural Abed should say "Cool, cool, fuckin' cool,' at least once. So I did.

Yep. It is suffering in many respects by doing its own cases rather than digging into the ADC canon for their inspiration. (I'll have to subscribe to this thread. I have very few spaces where I feel safe being critical of Elementary, due to its fandom.)

Well, the less mature sides of both the BBC fandom and the CBS fandom are to be smacked upside the head until sense and proportion enters into the discussion. I just run across the Elementary ones more frequently, as they are watching for Great Justice.

I can understand with 22 episodes a season, why they wouldn't want to totally do canon stories, but it would be nice if they did a few canon stories a season.
