I also really like Bell as a character and his interactions with Holmes and Watson. Myles makes the good point that this show has a really small ensemble, with almost all of the focus being on Sherlock and Joan, which might be unsustainable for a long running show with 22 episode seasons. It would be good to see…

Something stood out to me when Abbie first told Jenny that she was one of the Two Witnesses. I always wondered why Abbie would assume it was her since Jenny had also crossed paths with Moloch and seemed much better suited to the role of Witness given her freedom fighter path. Any chance that Abbie isn't officially…

Four of the seven main characters in this episode being people of colour (including Ichabod, Abbie, Frank, Jenny, Katrina, Andy and the Horseman) is pretty notable and this show is, understandably, getting a lot of attention from blogs/sites that look at racial and gender issues in pop culture.

They were great in this episode. I just realised that they are probably setting that up as a potential romantic pairing as in the previous episode they took the time to mention that Frank is divorced and on bad terms with his ex-wife.

This show wouldn't work at all if Mison's delivery or the tone of his performance weren't so dead on. But he is also given the 'flashier' role as it were so its understandable that he gets a lot of attention in reviews. But I really don't think Beharie gets enough credit for her performance; she brings so much to it…

Since many dictionaries have recently redefined "literally" to also mean its opposites of "figuratively" and "metaphorically", it could be said to be accurate regardless of how you define the word "stab".

I actually really liked this storyline for exactly the reasons mentioned here by @avclub-dff4148f038e22e5ef2c2380a99351d6:disqus, @avclub-28a3cba1cf4b8c16b4a16df0198cb4f4:disqus  and @avclub-6997a8bd0e1042b70b60c5c879a1780e:disqus .  It seemed like this was a meta-commentary on the typical sitcom storyline of the guy…

You invited her into our bed?!  Where we shave each other?

He kinda looks like a bitch to me…

I cannot stop laughing at this!  I wonder if that is what Jon might've named cunnilingus after he invented it a few episodes ago.

Bob Benson in his short-shorts?  This is the brightest timeline.

Joan watching the riots on TV, while also playing into the growing sense of societal collapse that has been building, seemed to me as absolutely the crystalising moment when she decided to go for it.  As agents of change often say, "If not now, when?"

You win @olivececile:disqus !

@avclub-b375786aed7b1004301789840f10e36d:disqus - Don't use the 'C' word.

Who am I kidding @avclub-b22b95593e42f8875155a84dc8a8ab75:disqus , I can't stay mad at you!

La plume de ma tante est près de la chaise de ma tante.As you well know..

@avclub-db28507034068ea227ef2f0ae9e633d0:disqus - You're dead on, great catch!  Although Ken was tearing him a new one at the time for overstepping with the food sent to the late Ma Sterling's wake, so it is possible that he just made it up off the top of his head so as to not get in further trouble.

Its official:  Abe is worse than slavery.

That was pretty savvy Peggy using her own stabbing of Abe to appear vulnerable in front of Ted and build a moment between the two of them.

She might not use the word 'rape' but she obviously felt violated by the incident even year/s later in her last interaction with Greg when she says something to the effect of "You know what you did", obliquely referencing the attack.  But yes, Joan has shit taste in men and is certainly not the best judge of character.
