This was a great episode (perhaps made even greater by this great write-up). To me this was the most complete picture of Jamie and Claire that I've seen. I love how each episode unfolds more about each of them. And I love Kayla's comment about how the show is depicting the lingering effects of trauma. Another (lesser)…

All the time that I've been commenting on the "Elementary" page, why did it never occur to me that AV Club would (of course) be covering "Outlander"? Now I have to catch up on 11 episodes' worth of comments. "Outlander" is enough of a rabbit hole without adding this to my list of distractions! Anyway, this was a…

Regarding the dress….I think it's just not a flattery cut on anyone.

No doubt. But I liked the bit that I saw.

Maybe I'm just trying to make more out of an average episode, but….I like how so often the A and B plots parallel each other. Both the Eric Bogosian character and Hannah were looking for a short cut, their own "stitch in time." Sherlock would obviously hold both of them - more so Hannah - with disdain since he seems…

What I thought Holmes said was that his father thinks that Sherlock is the end of the family line. And the father only thinks that because he thinks Mycroft is dead. (Right?)

I liked this one a lot. I like the idea of family being part of the A and B plots. I liked how Sherlock wanted to help Mary. And his explanation for why he was helping Joan: because she didn't need to carry the responsibility by herself since Joan had a larger family than she thinks, and because he needed her to…

This was a great episode. One I'll definitely watch again (I usually think about watching certain episodes again, but never get around to it. This one I will.)

You're certainly right. I'm not sure which he would find more disconcerting - people's non-professional considerations TO him (such as Kitty telling him that she loved him) or those FROM him (such as when he tried to express how he felt after Joan was kidnapped, or trying to tell her that/why he wants her to live in…

Huh, I seemed to like it more than most. The Criminal Minds aspect of it - showing more of the criminal's activity - was interesting and different. I don't want it to be a regular approach, but it was fine this time. Since the killer was revealed right away, the show couldn't rely on the big reveal as usual; I…

I love the B/brownstone so much that I'm happy to have it capitalized. I just thought that doing the same to "zebra" was weird. I could see it if it were a species, maybe. (Doing some research, I see that "zebra" encompasses a group of sub-species of zebras, so maybe that's it?)

There was much to like about last night's episode. I'm happy that Joan's back into the brownstone; I agree with someone's comment below about how the tone of her "speech" at the end sounded off, though. Also, someone below thought that Sherlock was "lovingly" folding Moriarty's letter after reading it, perhaps wanting…

I didn't see Sherlock as lecturing Joan at all. He was providing advice, perspective, and some insight, the same way that she does with him about Irene, or needing a roommate, or how to deal with Kitty.

A "B"? A "B"? It had a shirtless JLM/Sherlock! Clyde was on! And he was painting! Joan punched Sherlock in the arm! :)

"UXB"?

I wish we had seen - or I hope that we get to see - more of Sherlock's experiences in London after he left Joan, I mean, New York. The little bit we got was good, and Sherlock's explanation to Joan about why he left made sense, but I still think there's more story to tell, more story to show.

I'll say what I said in a thread about another episode, when this similar comment came up. If Miller and Liu aren't getting along, they're putting up quite a ruse on their respective Twitter accounts (and in interviews).

A very good episode. Like Sherlock himself, I delight in his rousing Watson. If Joan never moves back into the brownstone, I hope that we get to see all the different ways/places that she can sleep in the brownstone and that he can wake her up. Sherlock's comments about the tedium of his sobriety was incredibly…

I saw the rating before watching the episode, then I read Genevieve's review. Based on what she wrote, it seems that Genevieve was being generous in giving it a B-. Other than Kitty and Joan, I can't see what Genevieve liked about it. (It'd be interesting for Myles and another person to review the same episode.)

I don't think the show is losing it. The last few episodes were excellent. But I didn't find last night's episode all that compelling. I did like the Sherlock/Kitty, Sherlock/Joan, Joan/Kitty, moments. But not even those were as captivating as earlier ones.
