I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It was a particularly good one, and seasonally appropriate!
Elementary was fine, but maybe could wait til it reruns sometime.BTW, I find it odd that this Watson is a more compelling character than this Holmes. Not bad, but, well, it is taking some getting used to.

I did like the little touch though that Holmes did not actually hate the saintly character but hated that she did not fit. So glad they avoided the cliche of making the grumpy character hate do-gooders. Sometimes the mistakes that are NOT made contribute to making a show good or bad.

Thanks for the input. I decided to keep H50 for the moment and cleared the Elementary eps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having caught up on both shows, that statement bears out as counter to my feelings for the shows as I'd suspected. In fact I think H50 might get the boot. Nothing about that show is sticking for me, or giving me delight (two orthogonal responses, at least one should be present), and I'm falling harder and harder in love with every twitch of Jonny Lee (or is he Mr. Lee Miller?)--Lucy I already loved from long ago.
Now, I need to examine my choices when it comes to Rizzoli and Isles. Over/Under had the biggest exposition I've seen in a long time (and I'm one of the audience member that doesn't mind a betting reminder) in an episode with some really awful A-B-C plot balancing (and I think the murder mystery is at best the B plot)--it makes me want to say rude things about Lifetime TV programming, which do my gender no respect.

New "Elementary" tonight in case that slipped anyone's attention who might be interested.

The scenes from the next episode worry me a little. The "greatest enemy" has to be Moriarity. With this particular Sherlock, it will be very tricky to create a supervillain who does not unbalance the story. On the other hand the writers have managed so far, the Lucy Liu and wotshisname have pretty much executed their parts perfectly.

Art Crawl!!!
Of course, the encounter with Moriarty might be the thing that sets him back so that Watson stays.

BTW, did that look like Vinnie Jones playing the arch nemesis?
(Is so and it is Moriarty: interesting casting.)

NCIS: I was beginning to wonder if this show could still be compelling and surprise me, but it managed to do both tonight. I hope the second part next week is good.
