Agreed on all points, and I am usually pretty uninterested in vampire fare! The political and business machinations, blending of "holy war" tropes with ottomans vs. western oil interests… It all felt well realized and much deeper of a world than the average fantasy show, that's for sure. Plus the character motivations…

"The President's not my father! I'll blow up as many portable toilets as I want to!"

I hope this at least gets Aaron Eckhardt some legitimate superhero flick work.

Definitely definitely go back and review "lawnmower dog", that episode is insane cartoon perfection. I didn't really feel "anatomy park", but if they can do just one other episode thats to the level of "lawnmower dog", Rick and Morty will be legendary-status

in a way, I think it's not surprising that the article is mostly scolding Sherlock because I think a lot of us that prefer Elementary would just like Sherlock to be a better show than it is. Elementary shows us exactly what it isn't. As you say, it's hard to make "character development" and "inspired plotting" sound…

I remember seeing the original promo stuff for it posted all over NYC and thinking "Jesus Christ *another* Sherlock Holmes reboot? That's got to be the dumbest idea possible", then made disparaging comments about it for days with my girlfriend. But now it's probably the show I look forward to the most every week.

and lets be real here, Natalie Dormer's Moriarty is light years beyond the obnoxious twerp in Sherlock. in writing, acting, characterization, everything. I can forgive Sherlock many things, but not that utter botch job.

damn right it did!

yes, and i love it

This episode (and that that tiny little interaction specifically) made me consider Almost Human as having a lot more potential than i've been giving it credit for. I mean, the tech is hilariously "early 90's sci-fi" bad, but at least there is some thought to the social ramifications of it all. I had always thought…

i despised sitting through the trailer for this film. even condensed into 3 minutes it was unbearably bad. i clearly recall the audio for it being conspicuously harsh and obnoxious, even for a kids movie. this "F" and the promise I'll never have to hear about it again is some consolation though, even if it means poor…

Sean, I just want to say… that was GLORIOUS. I shed a tear at the last paragraph because I didn't want it to end.

THEN THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR US! Shes waiting for me.

my thinking is that it only incriminates him given the information that they just learned. otherwise there is every reason for an anti-terror unit leader to have a thick file on a mob boss.

I didnt get the impression that it was a huge reveal, just Sherlock giving context for the troubles that he himself overcame. Bell admits to having viewed him as on another level, and Sherlock affirms that he's not an invulnerable superhero (unlike that 'Sherlock' Sherlock…), but a person who even recently was quite…

i must know when this Sherlock wedding thread is coming. i need the closure that only thread after thread of pure, nerdy invective can bring.

it's pretty amazing that The Beef has moved the Overton window on social media douchebaggery so far that we now reminisce upon the good ole days of James Franco's raging narcissism

i think its pretty sad that you are getting downvoted into oblivion on every comment basically for saying "michael bay isnt necessarily a bad person simply because he makes mediocre movies"

I watched this ep just after the big Sherlock season 3 debut and it really drove home in my mind just how far Elementary has surpassed that shaky-cam-and-lens-flare Moffat mess… that I used to love. And still enjoy thoroughly.

being that i generally dislike all the modern vampire nonsense, watching this at my GF's behest i was sort of shocked to discover how much i like this show. the gloomy edwardian atmosphere is quite well executed, and while it has its typically sleazy bodice-ripping elements are all there, the characters behave in a…
