Yes, on the rooftop she suggested to the murderous brother that, instead of beating the name out of her, he should wait until the guy was just another inmate in prison, where it would be easy to have him killed. But some of the plots in Elementary don't always make much sense (poetic licence?). Later she said to Tius…

Well said, sir, well said!

Horrific ratings don't make for a bad show. And is this such a lucky renewal? Hey, some of us like this show and think it has a bit of quality to it. OK, the storylines haven't been great recently and the Shinwell arc seemed to be a waste of an actor who deserved better. But the quality of the acting and the excellent…

If Shinwell was taken out by the gang for narking on them, I don't think there'd be much reason for them to take out Joan as well, unless they thought she may have evidence against them that was damning. There is not much point in a gang killing a cop or consultant unless the cop or consultant is going to act as a key…

A lot more than being around Sherlock. Shinwell was a gang member narking on the gang. It is difficult to think of a more dangerous occupation. There is little percentage in a gang or criminals killing PIs or police consultants. But killing a known nark would be mandatory.

Now that is true. And they associated too openly for it to be realistic, in my opinion. But I let that go as poetic licence, as it were.

I don't understand how you guys are thinking. So he knew he was going to be murdered? I don't get it. If he knew someone was coming around to kill him, wouldn't it make sense to get to hell out of there and go on the run? Are you saying that not only did he know that the gang was onto him (or that someone was going to…

What? Shinwell knew he was about to be murdered and invited Joan to be there at the time? It is true he'd got wind of something and maybe didn't exactly understand what was going on. But Joan has always known the dangers of being associated with Shinwell. It's true that the degree to which they have been associating…

Come to think of it, I have more trouble with understanding Lucy liu. And that is not to knock her, either. I'm sure what we are used to affects what we understand. And Kitty seems to polarise opinion. I know many fans of the show just don't like her; but I am one of those who has always found her interesting. She…

I'm a New Zealander and I understand Lovibond. Funny thing is that I am having difficulty understanding Anna Paquin in "Bellevue". Then again, accents were never Anna's strong point, I don't think. (That is not to knock her, by the way. I don't think ability with accents is that closely related to acting talent in…

Maybe she's been phoning or sending encrypted messages every now and again without Sherlock telling us… :-)

I admit I completely missed the possibility of Sherlock being the father. Am I being incredibly dense, or is my notion that Sherlock and Kitty couldn't have messed up something like contraception between them. Of course, one of them may have wanted a kid with the other…. Still, I'm a little sceptical. Are the writers…

I missed all that… Am I getting old. (Don't answer that.)

Detective work?

But was it that sort of love? Perhaps. Apparently in the next episode she tells Sherlock something "life changing".

He used both terms at different times.

I thought the deal was that Sherlock provided the sperm but had no further role in the child's life — Agatha and Sherlock's dad weren't silly enough to expect him to actually look-after and nurture the little brat. They just wanted his genetics not his personal involvement in the rearing. If they were looking for a…

I thought Jeremy Irons had been offered the role?

True, true, but why has there been no further info about Mrs Hudson's love-life since she remarked that she may give up on being a kept woman?

What the hell does OTPPPP mean? And would this be a Matson ship or a Woriarty ship?
