Judging by the still above, I guess they tweaked Lucy Liu's wardrobe from the pilot, too. Goodbye baggy sweaters, hello cleavage?

I thought it was a not-so-subtle nod to Irene Adler, who (predicting right now) will turn out to be "the woman" that caused Holmes to run away from London.

I'm disappointed that neither Myles or Todd mentioned the biggest problem with Watson, especially since they wrote about CBS's problematic portrayal of women characters: that they made the female Watson a failed doctor and non-military veteran who has to slum it as an "addict sitter" because she lost her medical

You should know, then, that Zoe Keating has been actively campaigning on Tumblr and Twitter as CBS used her music for this pilot without permission. She was first alerted to the fact when CBS sent the pilot out for review/showed it at Comic Con and she reached out to CBS (as did her fans) to ask to why they were using

Rob Doherty (the showrunner) has already said that they won't be adapting any Conan Doyle stories. The pilot is online and it revolves around an original murder case not based on anything Doyle (also, it's lame).

One of my favorite moments ever on Late Night with Conan O'Brien was when Conan told Hanks that he had a birthday present for him, then brought out a painting of astronauts storming the beach at Normandy. (I like to imagine that painting is hanging somewhere in Hanks' house to this very day.) Also, I remember another

I haven't read it, but Alan Alda's memoir Never Have Your Dog Stuffed was excellent as well. I found the showbiz stuff less interesting than his very vivid portrait of being raised by a severely schizophrenic mother. Like how when he was little, she reached over at the dinner table and stabbed Alda's father with a

I love Tom Hanks because, with his status, when given the opportunity to direct his own movie he could have so easily done a bloated, historical period piece ala Warren Beatty, Kevin Costner or Mel Gibson and just drowned himself in awards and ass-kissing. But instead he wrote and directed a perfect little gem of a

Charles is my favorite M*A*S*H character. He was often the only bright spot in the last seasons. For example, "Sons & Bowlers" (last season) is absolute garbage save for the scenes where Charles supports Hawkeye as he waits for news about his ill father back home.

And after being turned down for the rights to an American remake by the producers of Sherlock, CBS immediately bought a 15 year old Sherlock Holmes script by Josh Friedman (now of Homeland) just to say, "See, we based it on this thing!" Then rewrote it completely.

Eh, to any longterm SNL viewer this was hardly in the pantheon of worst performances. With SNL's notoriously bad sound mixing even veteran performers like Paul McCartney, Elton John and U2 have sounded pretty crappy. I thought Lana del Rey did okay - not great - but she was certainly better than pop stars like Britney
