It's made by Elastic, the team behind most title sequences nowadays. Mad Men and Halt & Catch Fire are probably my favorites.

Eh, I actually liked each episode a full letter grade more than the AV Club's reviewer did. The writers are horrible with metaphors, but the acting, tone, and style really elevate the show. Also Mackenzie Davis' nipples.

So many things happened this episode, and I can't believe we're only halfway through the season. Even the heavy-handed "symmetry" theme that capped both ends of the episode totally worked.

The show's production design is fantastic—future technologies appear subtle and genuinely useful.

This episode really took my breath away

What does Bert even do around the office anyway? He's sure got some balls (hehe) to insult Don.

I feel like Cumberbitch's Sherlock is also poorly and inconsistently written, flipping wildly between psychopathy and empathy (especially in the last series). Elementary's Sherlock is built on a slow accumulation of character traits and backstory, so when he threatens someone, the show really earns those moments.

I'm glad the writers chose to resolve the action this episode, leaving room for the next two episodes to be more character-driven. Elementary aced season 1's finale because it ended on a definitive note, and not a cheap cliffhanger to keep fans excited for next year (ahem The Walking Dead).
