Mention of the fact that shooting the door alerted the guards.

Expression of amusement, and mild wish for an entire episode of meta dialog.

It isn't even the original, is it? They subpoenaed the records from the police. The police didn't just hand over their servers, did they? Surely they gave FAL a copy of their records. So I don't see how "hacking" (I don't see how editing a file on your computer is really hacking) the metadata would work.

I'm not sure Peter's help screwed things up more than they helped. If the judge had been on time, he would have denied the motion, and that would be that. This way, they've got the judge pissed off at them, but Cary's not in prison. That seems like a reasonable trade-off. And outside of blowback from the forged…

Yeah, wouldn't they wonder about why Kalinda didn't bother mentioning it to them, but instead went rushing off on another lead?

So, Austin is the guy who designed the challenge that broke Missy's foot? They sure glossed over that fact.

Sherlock was surprised to discover that the cop knew his cop was fake? I would have been surprised if a cop were to NOT notice that their gun suddenly is significantly lighter

And it doesn't really makes sense in the first place, since the basis of the whole Sherlock shtick is his ability to make deductions from seemingly unrelated information.

This was sort of an inversion of the usual procedural. Usually they meet a bunch of witnesses, and one of them turns out to be the culprit. Here, pretty much everyone they talk to turns out to be involved in the murder.

If I had three identical-looking keys, I would do something to distinguish them. Although actually writing "key to my the apartment of my married boyfriend" would both be overly incriminating and have to be written in a rather small type. A single letter is more useful than a word, since it's easier to see. Even…

Or a strange wheel that, when turned, moves the apartment in both space and time?

Isn't it convenient how witnesses keep leaving incriminating evidence available so they can blackmail them into cooperating?

It never hurts to double-check.

So, we're told, 15 minutes in, that the culprit has "been found", and the writers have Watson ask "That's, good, right?" Really hitting us over the head with it, there.

Her outfits make me want her to wax my singlestick.

I was thinking that if it's a novelization of the series, that could easily run a hundred pages per episode. If we assume one page per minute, the writers have already written thousands of pages of scripts.

When McNutt says the length would make having an actual book difficult, did he mean it's too short, or too long?

Lots of people have guest star status. For instance, the guy who played Lorne on Angel was listed as a guest star, as was Jim Rash (Dean Pelton) on early seasons of Community.

So I take it you've already checked out Nikita?

One of the most dangerous things on Survivor is thinking that just because it's in someone's interests to work with you, that means they won't stab you in the back. And how would he he really know that Natalie intended to get rid of Jon, anyway?
