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.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

I admire your persistence.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It is usually at the bottom of the DVR list these days, but the DVR is pretty empty this week.

Yeah, I was thinking "They won't do that--oh my god. They did that."
