To be fair, Sherlock and Guy Ritchie’s style don’t exactly mesh well. He made Sherlock an action hero, which is probably my least favorite take on the character (despite liking Ritchie’s style otherwise).

The Facebook status change also seemed to be deliberately trolling any viewers who may be (ill-advisedly) shipping Sherlock and Watson. That gave me a chuckle.

Instead we got the classic Hardy Boys plot structure. Every single book would drop a mention of their dad’s super secret investigation that conveniently keeps him out of the picture, and then 2/3s of the way through the book he shows up again (inevitably in disguise) and VOILA! the boys’ mystery just happens to…

The Bunk/McNulty bar scenes were always some of my favorites. (Plus that one investigation where the entire dialogue is a single expletive.)

Jason is working for me only because Jeffrey Dean Morgan has such incredible charisma, and would have convincing chemistry with a block of wood if the role required it.

It’s a training montage but with clothes.

Yup, The Good Wife absolutely did a Silk Road episode. The occasional thematic overlap between the 2 very different shows is amusing.

He’d drop the magic word (destiny) and get Locke to do it for him.

Yeah Zuckerberg is getting up there...

I really liked the way Liu played those scenes with a fair amount of performance anxiety. Her struggling to find the words and form coherent sentences in front of the detectives didn’t take away from the intelligence of her observations, but did manage to make her hella relatable (at least to those of us with a fair…

Wonderful, 6 years later and we’re still talking about Tarantino’s foot fetish.

DOWNVOTE

Yeah they got me with Edelstein (I assumed she would be recurring), but not even for a second with Reyes.

On the other hand, LOST made a habit of introducing expendable characters (Arnzt, Frogurt, Nikki and Paolo, etc.) just a couple of episodes before killing them off. It was still extremely predictable, but you had to be paying just a bit more attention.

Wow, I’m really surprised no one has tackled your nitpicky and incredibly pedantic “questions” about the show.

I probably should have seen it (or something like it) coming, but when the lifeless bodies suddenly floated back into frame I GASPED aloud. That was incredibly dark and incredibly well-executed.

The only thing more insufferable than the NSA guys’ goat jokes is the fact that CBS decided actual NSA analysts would wear Big Bang Theory apparel.

Yup, Donnie is my core reference for Saul Rubinek roles. Certainly not his best, but he appeared in quite a few episodes so it’s hard to forget him as Donnie.

Yeah, I think it’s settled into a nice semi-status quo where they’re still able to make some real continuity changes (the elves moving into the city is a big change with lots of potential).
