It's on my DVR, but I just made such a loud squeeing noise my landlord is probably wondering what's the what.

I'm watching the most recent NCIS, and I'm having trouble taking Lester from Chuck seriously as a threat to national security.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just watched the Superbowl ep of "Elementary" and I must say I liked it more than this week's ep. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst Elem ep either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which one was Superbowl? Serial killer and fake kidney disease? I'm halfway through this week so far, but got distracted by Battleship, of all stupid things...

General thoughts on Elementary:
1) Opening credits with Rube Goldberg/ Heath Robinson murder device including an actual Hamster: an indication that the writers know that most of the murder plots are absurd and that this is being done deliberately as part of the fun?
2) The constant use of authentic quotes from the Conan Doyle SH in contexts that are completely cross grain to the spirit of the original: I remember stating that this is clever and deliberate, but I have to admit that the text would support some poor intern having scoured the Doyle Canon to produce a long list of quotes which are now being mined by writers who have never read the original.

I really didn't like Elementary initially, but it totally grew on me. Now I'm hooked.

I'm way hooked. I just find myself speculating on the Meta here... How much of what we like is planned and purposeful?
