Elementary Season 4 (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

Another entertaining and unusual episode, and the Sherlock-Morland byplay continues to fascinate.


I wish the ratings were better. I fear this may be the last season for the show.

The problem with Elementary is it's a 10:00 p.m. show and like the rest of such shows, it does well when you factor in DVR viewings.

But even factoring in L+7 data, other CBS 10 p.m. shows still do better: Limitless, NCIS: LA, and, of course, Blue Bloods. I think CSI: Cyber is the only CBS show consistently lower ranked than Elementary once all of the late data is factored in.

Even so, that doesn't mean it's going to be cancelled so let's see how the rest of the season plays out as NFL football will come to an end at the end of this year.

Another fun episode with the mystery surrounding Watson under investigation an interesting one. I'm wondering if we've heard the last from this character despite Watson KOing her.


I did miss Morland this week.

Unsure by this subplot of the cop going after Watson. Her actions are bordering on police harassment. I am. It sure how Capt.Gregson or any of the police brass would feel about a detective using police database resources to investigate Watson for absolutely no reason. Yes, I know it's for a story plot.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about police harassment as Captain Gregson could put a stop to this right away.

While I'm sure that Gregson could intervene on Joan's behalf; I would guess that Joan wanted to try to handle the problem on her own. Also, essentially 'tattling' on a police detective might not endear Joan with the rank and file members of the police department.


As Matt speculated, this might be a plot device to introduce a new recurring character to the series.


- Walter.

Hi Walter!


Your above observations seem entirely plausible, in my opinion!


CHEERS!

A good mystery this week with, in typical Elementary style, a case that begins as one thing and morphs into something else entirely. I did notice that Joan did more deducing this week than Sherlock.


Also enjoyed the personal stuff with Holmes and his former sponsor Alfredo though they did have more than their addiction in common in previous years. They often posed lock picking and lock breaking problems (specifically with vehicle security systems) to one another. The writers seemed to have forgotten about that.

 

[Matt Hough]

The mystery element was OK this week, but more troubling was the suggestion that Morland is up to no good with his son.


Two years ago when Mycroft was introduced, we got a similar baleful sequence midway through the season suggesting something nefarious to come. As it turned out, Mycroft was actually an important undercover operative (a section chief as I recall). This doesn't seem to be likely to repeat with Sherlock's father, so I'm fearful what he could really be up to.

I really liked last night's episode especially the interaction between Sherlock and the girl.

The show will move to Sundays starting March 20th.

In total agreement.


I thought it was by far the best mystery of the season with continual twists and turns and surprises, and I don't think we've seen the last of this cunning antagonist for Sherlock.

I hope so, she was really good.

Just wanted to chime in here about this week's episode....thought it was the best of the season. Good stuff.

Frankly, I was surprised CBS didn't do that to begin this season and left CSI: Cyber at its Wednesday 10 p.m. time where it was doing fine. On Sundays, it died. I hope fans will follow Elementary to Sunday, or this will likely be the last season.

One remote factor which might keep Elementary and other low rated CBS clunkers (ie. H50, etc ...) around for possibly another season, is CBS doesn't know what ratings drop NCIS will take after NCIS co-lead Michael Weatherly leaves at the end of this season.

Got caught up on the last couple episodes. Joan was very cute playing that video game.

Agreed.


That girl looks like a new Moriarty in the making.
