Agree with you both. This is the most disjointed, sloppy season yet. And there's no excuse. As you note, there's so much rich emotional stuff they set up and then just forget about. I mean, where the hell was Fiona after last week's big romance starter? Infuriating. These actors are so brilliant both together and on…

Man, that woulda been great. But the writers are way too clueless to do something clever like that.

For the record, I love Ms. Valentine's reviews and her championing of Liu/Watson, and could not agree more that both the actress and character are seriously underutilized and shamefully underwritten. In season one, this show had the potential to be one of the top dramas on TV — but we've seen nothing approaching it…

I too can't help but hope that Mor-land is involved somehow with Mor-iarty (that couldn't be a coincidence, right?) and that they worked together to turn Sherlock into an addict so he wouldn't catch on and object to Dad's murderous tendencies. But then she fell in love, and screwed up his plan. So Dad is back to do…

Totally agree with this review. The story was a beat for beat rehash — and not in a good fun, way, but in a boring, been-there-done-that way. Left feeling v. frustrated that Abrams' couldn't come up with one creative, interesting new idea much less an entire freaking story with engaging settings. That said, it was…

I'm surprised everyone liked this so much. I thought it was hella weak. Aside from that adorable video-game scene, J-Dub actually detecting and the wardrobe (as always, gorgeous), it was Elementary at its worst — a lot of people standing around talking at each other, major plot points happening off-screen (the…

She's been funny for awhile, just not as Watson — tho they should be writing a lot more to that. Liu was nominated for an Emmy for Best Supp. Comedy actress for Ally McBeal.

The fact that so many are clamoring for the actual fight scene says to me they definitely should've shown it — in fact, Liu herself directed an awesome boxing scene for Graceland earlier this season, which has a much smaller budget.

This was season 3 at its worst — overly complex, obtuse plots; people yakking away about confusing boring stuff in offices with a view; the first guy with an alibi turning out to be the murderer; lots of white men doing white male computer-business crap; and not nearly enough for Liu to do as Watson. (Though, as you…

Thought Liu and Noble's scenes were amazing. Love seeing two great actors going at it and giving as good as they get. Liked the propaganda theme as well. The murder mystery was just a "meh."

Second that emotion! The costume designer is Rebecca Hofherr, and the work that she and Liu are doing is amazing. Of course, LL knows her stuff when it comes to fashion and modeling and what she can and can't wear, and together they knock it out of the park every week.

Yay! Brilliant analysis! Welcome, Genevieve!!

Totally agree re: New Girl. Great season. Loved the "Walk of Shame" episode.

But obviously did NOT speak volumes, since many still seem to be confused by it. Way way too much happens off screen in this show, and there's way, way too little Watson.

Myles, you rock. And you are so right about this season's many missed opportunities. Here's my take, FWIW.

Charlie's Angels — First of all, you can totally see why Farrah was such a gigantic star. She absolutely lights up the screen. Secondly, the plots are so tied to whatever was zeitgeisty at that '70s moment — disco, roller disco, roller derby, the CB-radio trucker craze, dude ranch, the nightclubs that let you talk…

Totally agree, Monkey. There's absolutely ways to incorporate action — like Sherlock kicking in a door and having to put out a fire, etc.

Totally agree — but my beef with this entire season has been A) boring, esoteric crime plots with lack of stakes, lack of Moriarty, too little action and way, way too much statically shot exposition B) Watson continually shortchanged in terms of character / emotional development, with so little onscreen reaction to…
