Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who was your favourite, -t?

Unfortunately the episode lacks impact without the context shifting, so if you only know the premise is inverted there's not as much there there. But that's pretty much where you should stop watching--it goes off the rails worse than X Files, even though it was nowhere near as good to start off with.

I thought the episode was kinda boring, but the "oh, fuck my family, I'm going to hitch my wagon to your demise" thing bugs the FUCK out of me, and this is even worse than H50.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Nietzschean, uh, crewmember? Man, I remember virtually nothing.

How far along does the clip show happen?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They didn't air Castle's clip show here. I guess they felt it was still too soon to air an episode about a bomb in Massachusetts, but it was available On Demand, so we were still able to see it.

Ohhhhhh! I just went to play the episode my DVR recorded, and it's clearly and old one, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Will On-Demand it.

Edit: But apparently I can't. But also apparently no loss!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Jesse, you only need a couple of youtube videos. [link] [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm stoked for tonight's Elementary. The promo looks like they're heading into Moriarty goodness.

I haven't caught any of hte episodes involving Moriarty. Can you give me a thumbnail summary of how Elementary is handling him?

They haven't introduced him, actually. One episode had a killer who we (both the audience AND Sherlock) were led to believe was Moriarty, but as it turns out, he was just a hired thug (hired by Moriarty, yes, but sight unseen -- the thug [who I believe I saw in the promo for tonight's episode] doesn't know who Moriarty is). And they did use the name "Moriarty."

And the big leap away from canon is that Moriarty killed (or had killed; basically, he's responsible for the death of) Irene Adler. For which Sherlock was calmly ready to kill him in the episode with the hired thug.

So that's all we know, IIRC.

Does he seem the calculating type or the batshit crazy type the BBC was doing?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Since we have not met him...

Some of the things he hired the thug to do seemed to be for pleasure rather than profit, so I'd guess (and it is only a guess) batshit crazy.

Compassionately intolerant

I liked this episode of Elementary well enough, but was totally shocked by the _terrible_ dubbing of the villain in the hotel room. I _know_ that actor's voice, and that ain't it.

I wonder why they needed him to sound more British.
