OK, then, time to catch up.

Person's of Interest: I love the dog they've added to the cast. He's adorable.

Connie there hasn't been anymore of that aspect of their relationship and they haven't really brought up anything about Kate's Mom.

They basically closed the book on Kate's Mom. We know, and Kate knows, who did it. There's closure of sorts, but like this week, room to revisit if they want to.

Re: last night's Elementary, I am having a hard time buying that Joan had her license suspended for, apparently, one patient dying on the table and the way she's been written WRT her medical skills and training, given the guidelines that the New York Medical Board has for such things. Also, that a resident would be stealing morphine to go to sleep, rather than using one of the many, many other effective substances that hospitals have, or just getting a fucking 'script for Ambien. Ain't that hard, writers.

Yeah, that made me roll my eyes hard.

Seriously. I'm STILL rolling my eyes about it.

I am very annoyed that the writers on Haven do not know the difference between extortion and blackmail.

The morphine thing didn't bother me. Sure, he says it's to help him sleep, but maybe he just likes morphine.

So is that their solution for the coke thing?

I had so many issues with stupid medicine on Elementary this week. The thing is, I love the show! Especially the tentative partnership between Joan and Sherlock (it does not bother me that this Sherlock doesn't hew closely to ACD canon, since I... kinda don't care that much about the original. I find JLM's portrayal interestingly different and spicy.) But the case was just egregiously bad.

The morphine bit didn't bother me since I don't think he was actually using it to sleep -- he's a junkie. He's just in denial. The big things that bugged me:

- The leap from "little spot on finger" to "OMG someone killed him with epinephrine". That's a ridiculous leap that made no sense.

- List of all the people who died of heart attacks? Are they kidding me? They'd need a dozen blackboard, not just one.

- The entire storyline between Joan and her friend. Clearly the person writing the damn episode had no idea about how endocarditis patients present. OH MAN. Too many wrongness to list. Also, insert here me frothing at my mouth at someone without even an attending privilege in the hospital ordering an invasive procedure because of "her gut". And the fact that it was portrayed as heroic. Fuck that noise.

- The asshat surgeon's ridiculously convoluted way to get the Angel of Mercy to kill his patient. Sooooo, nobody else looking after this sick, sick patient in a tremendous amount of pain looked at the chart and did a double-take on the totally wrong-headed cardiac cancer diagnosis?? Or look into pathology report to see if that was not a mistake?

Seriously, couldn't they afford a decent medical consultant? This was worse than House, which used to give me rage blackouts because the medicine on that show was so terrible.

By "the coke thing" do you mean the seven percent solution? Sherlock is a recovering heroin addict. The morphine is a character in the weekly mystery.

And, like -t, I figured the guy was just a morphine addict. It doesn't feel like Ambien--they're not interchangeable trips.
