I really didn't like Elementary initially, but it totally grew on me. Now I'm hooked.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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

One question/speculation on most recent Elementary: Since Sherlock gave the money back, does he still owe his father favors - taking candy from babies, clubbing baby seals and so on? Might he and his father disagree on this point?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

No, but once he finds out that Watson isn’t getting paid, he’ll go back and ask again, and then he’ll be on the hook.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I disagree. I think the plan always was to hand over the money for a matter of minutes (hours at the outside). It was phrased as a loan, and I think he's still on the hook.
Also, makes for better tv.

Am I the only one still watching CSI:Original Recipe? I can't believe I'm the first one to come in to say: Tom Scola!
I am just watching it now. That made me sit up and take notice! Alas, the character is not nearly as charming as our Tom Scola.

Your point is very convincing, especially the part I did not quote. That leads to me a speculation: we won't meet Daddy directly. Instead brother Mycroft will be Daddy's messenger for errands Sherlock does for Daddy, the way canon Mycroft was the messenger for the 19th century British empire. Alternatively, Mycroft is not Sherlock's brother but his Daddy. But I'm betting on the former, not the latter.

Certainly not nearly so nice a smile.

My dad picked up one of the Castle tie-in novels on a B&N bargain table somewhere in his recent travels, and said it got more gripping as it went on, to the point where he was up too late on Sunday finishing it. So now I have that on my large and ever-growing To Be Read pile.
I didn't even know they watch the show, so that was a nice surprise.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My mom was that way with the 2nd book. She had adventurous dreams that night. I found the 3rd book to be pretty intense.
And how fun was last night's episode? Gates the fan-gurl, Ryan the rooster, Beckett throwing a table...
