Yes, I'm OK with her exposing herself to Holmes (it reflects her blind spot) but showing herself in the park to her "mark'? No way.

Re: Elementary -- 2 Hour Season Finale -- "The Woman/Heroine" -- 5/16/13

The woman playing Irene just displayed how inadequate Lucy is for the role of Watson.
Just 2 episodes, and she had more of a presence that the whole season of Lucy.

^I disagree. I think Liu has been excellent as Watson. She has a good non-romantic chemistry with Johnny Lee Miller's Sherlock. Her Watson is believably intelligent, though obviously not the genius Sherlock is.

great season finale. I was worried the episode would end when Holmes OD'd. Glad they wrapped up the story instead of leaving it a cliff hanger.

Just getting caught up, but I was interested in this line of comments:

- Moriarty captured. Sure she can still get away, but I'd have preferred Sherlock know who she is, but she goes free.

I felt the same way at first but after I thought about it some more I realized that "love" explained both of the the things that bothered me. Love blinded Sherlock to what Irene really was and also blinded M to the obvious trap in the hospital.

I thought that making Irene Moriarty was brilliant, although, from the moment she entered Holmes' house I began to suspect something, and I was certain when they had the "birthmark" confrontation.

As for her being captured, I'm not worried at all. With the size of her network, she should have no trouble escaping. So, whether or not she was really Moriarty or a lieutenant, I am confident we haven't seen the last of M.

And I agree that the combination of her love for and fascination with Holmes is what allowed her to fall for the fake overdose ruse. That is what drew her out of the shadows in the first place - she felt a kinship with Holmes that she had never experienced before.

The Mentalist already shot his opponent, then turned out to have shot a guy filling in for the main antagonist of the series. I hope Elementary doesn't do that.

I would like to see Moriarty pull some Mentalist-like tricks and essentially walk out of prison - that seems to fit this series better than a simple jail break.

Re: Elementary -- Thursdays (CBS)

Didn't see a thread for this weeks episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Nice to see Mycroft back. I hope he becomes a regular.

Also, well done, Mycroft. Well done.

That was an interesting development at the end of last night's episode. In a bit of devastating news, Elementary will not be released on Blu-ray. The DVD set has already been announced. The studio must believe only older people watch the show.

Where does that come from?

The show is handled by Paramount, who have gently pulled back from releasing much of anything on Blu-ray except to license movies out to Warner Bros.

One thing, as perceptive as Sherlock is, I'm surprised he wasn't able to ever suspect that she wasn't a British person doing an American accent.

I just finished up the first season and this was so annoying because the actress had a pretty bad "american" accent, particularly in the flashback scenes set in London. I didn't recognize her but knew immediately she was a british actress because it's the type of "american" accent you often hear on BBC shows.
