It's not that easy, even without the big buildup with the photograph love and so on. I liked Adam's decision and that it went against the prevailing me-first ethos of the advice he was getting.
But to the first point, it's not that easy. Adam was leaving his brother in a real fix.

I agree, sadly. Making Joan his detective equal always rubbed me the wrong way. For one thing, it kind of de-exceptionalizes Sherlock's gifts. I like the way Sherlock BBC handled it, where Watson is impressed but not intimidated, and doesn't begrudge him. Here it started to feel competitive, and I find that odd. And…

I like the scene you wrote for Clyde, Myles. We also need something about Mrs. Hudson to tide us over.

I get the sense they're pretty conservative, though, Sherlock and Joan, when it comes to crime. At best, Sherlock is maybe more tolerant of inventive crimes until they become murder.

I totally agree. Acting seems like a tough gig for anyone, and one thing they do now that they didn't used to is colour-blind casting. There's many, many actors/actresses out there that I wonder why they didn't become huge stars. Jonny Lee Miller is one, actually. And look at Ophelia Lovibond (?) She had a small role…

Isn't that the way of the stories, too, though? I was just watching "Sherlock" and noticing how much is explained, rather than dramatized, and that thought came to me. So much of it is Sherlock telling Watson what happened.

Pitts' casting was perplexing, though. He hardly had anything to do, so that was the giveaway. Because he's too good to waste. Even when he's in the background in Justified, he shines.

I know, I hate it when shows start doing that, I always start thinking the actors don't like each other, or they're getting tired of the show or something so they're simplifying their schedules. Plus I hope they cut down on the scenes of Joan schooling Sherlock, or being righteous with him. Sherlock needs to push back…

The writers think it does (explain), that's my theory. As for rape being reality for a lot of women — I don't know what to say about that. For a drama, it could get pretty tedious. To be honest, I'd start finding it hard to relate to. Like Degrassi Junior High. I don't watch Elementary to get edumacated about social…

I just can't buy Joan in a therapist role. She's violated so many boundaries and often seems disinterested in engaging on an emotional level. Maybe it's Lucy Liu's deadpan demeanour, or a healthy, functional detachment, but she reminds me how nurses are often deeply unsympathetic.

Her outfits — I know! I love them, but I always wonder where Joan keeps all those clothes. Like a different winter coat for every day of the month. Where are the closets, that's what I want to know.

I hope Archie Panjabi's departure doesn't mean Cary's going to jail. Of all the romances on the show, theirs is the one I wanted to see end happily.

Really? I found Eli's daughter incredibly obnoxious. But I haven't seen this show yet.

Why is she singing with an English accent?

I was going to make a bemused remark about how the comments got hijacked into a discussion of yearbooks, but I was laughing too hard.

I thought that little scene where Mycroft interrupted Sherlock's painful monologue at an AA meeting in an earlier episode probably spoke volumes about Mycroft having a passive-aggressive streak.

Yeah, Brownstoners is kind of awful. But how do you write all this great stuff so fast?

Being Erica (a Canadian show) did that exact same thing several times a few years ago. "Tasteless" doesn't begin to describe it.

As The Host of our discussions, Myles' engagement in any debate is implicit.

I don't want Joan to leave The Brownstone. No more inventive wake up calls? Breakfast at the fireplace? And — a whole bunch of other stuff. Pshaw..
