Thanks for reminding me about that.  Because of all the comments we've made, that remark actually made me laugh a little, even though it was thrown into a serious scene.

Actually, I hope they put off the introduction of Moriarty longer for the exact same reason.  I already preemptively hate the comparisons to countless other Moriartys that will inevitably follow.  How Moriarty compares to another Moriarty in a different show or movie doesn't matter to me. The most important thing is…

I never thought that she might be a hallucination either.  Both sides make sense.  If she was really there and deeply focused on her art, she might not have heard Watson's voice or noticed she was not alone until she heard Sherlock.  And the preview suggested she was actually there when she and Sherlock are staring at…

His reaction actually broke my heart a little.  Well-played, Jonny Lee Miller.

Ha ha!  Your weapons have no effect on me!

You just perfectly characterized why I love this incarnation the Holmes-Watson relationship.  I hadn't really thought beyond the fact that I like this interpretation, but it's true: in the other current incarnations, Watson, while competent in his own right, still plays more of a sidekick role and is clearly just…

I agree about the insert shot.  The windows weren't so opaque that we couldn't see the detail of the air conditioner falling past, and besides, Watson looks down at the ground shortly afterwards anyway, revealing a gutted air conditioner to seal the joke.  The shot might have been meant for clarification, but it…

I agree about the second red herring.  I wish they had spent more time developing him, because he was quite interesting to me for the single minute he was alive.  This episode felt kind of like two episodes smushed into one.  The pace of the episode was great until suddenly it felt like we skipped five pages forward…

I'm going to take this moment to admit that I hated The Great Gatsby, which apparently is a minority opinion.

A Superman who was internally looking down on the people he saved would actually be more interesting to me.

Also, it sounds like you're assuming that the video would be completely safe once the media had their hands on it.  Sadly "the media" is composed of ordinary gray-area humans, just like every other industry, and while no news program alive would show a video like that, there is no guarantee that the video would not…

@avclub-3521a3a5bcfea0fe1189f8bc13af1f99:disqus  It is not a stretch for me that your character can be both an assassin and a thief, since the members of those guilds explicitly say that they frequently work together.  But I always had a problem with the fact that you can be a Companion and also an assassin, since it…

Just remind yourself that if he's playing Superman's father, he'll die in the very beginning of the movie and you won't have to see him again?

Whew!  Lucky for olivececile, there was a slight typo in the report, leading poor innocent olicececile to be prosecuted instead.

You know, I first read the title as "Bet Your Baby," so "Bet On Your Baby" actually gave me a huge sense of relief that at least our society hasn't fallen that far.

Interesting interpretation, @jamesoleary:disqus .  I don't agree with it at all, but all interpretations are valid until the show proves or disproves it, I suppose.

This is exactly how I was thinking of it too.  I see Holmes as someone who will completely overlook the minutiae of day-to-day life in favor of the exciting puzzles that come his way.  Just as he'll ignore fundamental requirements like sleep and food when he is intellectually engaged in something, he'll neglect those…

That remark kind of threw me off a bit when I heard it, since as @avclub-13d7df3c17502af69aafccc758195f96:disqus says, GS-13 is only two steps down from the very top of the GS pay scale.  But I'm willing to interpret the comment as referring to the disparity between government pay and private sector pay.

I actually cried out "Clyde!" in pure delight.  It's silly how much joy a cute little lettuce-munching tortoise can bring.

The phones lost all interest for him once he caught a glimpse of a much more intriguing problem.  When it comes to the loss of a handful of phones versus chasing audacious thieves making off with millions of dollars, I can easily see him dismissing all the evidence for that phone theft in favor of something more…
