A good episode with Sherlock's return and Joan's hostility towards him. Looking forward to what comes next along with Kitty.
I felt the same way. I had no problem with her being helping the NYPD and being a detective. But, she was almost on par with Holmes. Who should be way ahead of her.DaveHof2 said:I find Joan's rapid evolution into a detective qualified to assist the NYPD to be somewhat incredulous. In every incarnation since the original novels and short stories, Holmes is light years ahead of everyone else in his deductive reasoning - last night's episode suggests that Watson served as a more than adequate substitute while Holmes was in London. That's a stretch.
Not only that, but I think Holmes realized the electromagnet was still in the room, but he let Watson figured that out for herself.Hanson said:She wouldn't have solved the case without Holmes' deduction of the electromagnet. So he is clearly better at this.
No question! Also, I think she realized that she still needed him to bounce things off of and the same with him to her.todd s said:I think Holmes knew the magnet was where it was. Didn't they show Joan flashing back to Holmes sitting on the bathroom ledge and him tapping it. Almost like he was showing her where to look.
You said the same thing about Root in POI and I really like that character. As to Kitty, I want to see where they go with her.Matt Hough said:Enjoyable episode, but Kitty has got to go. I don't care what kind of victim she was (their clumsy way of attempting to endear her to the audience). The fact is that it's awkward with Holmes and TWO colleagues coming along with him to scenes and interviews. I truly hope the producers don't have her slated to hang around all season.
Well, I believe you are going to be disappointed then...I truly hope the producers don't have her slated to hang around all season.
Thanks for that link. As I enjoy the show so much, I will, of course, be in for the long haul, and perhaps I will be surprised and delighted with what they do with her (as Crawdaddy mentioned above, I did come around with Root in Person of Interest once they found an interesting hook for her presence on the show). The first two episodes, however, have not inspired great confidence, but it's early days yet. Patience is a virtue.Walter Kittel said:Well, I believe you are going to be disappointed then...

My own feelings on Kitty are basically that I'm keeping an open mind about the character and her role on the series. Since Watson has advanced, why not introduce a new character for Holmes to mentor? They've clearly altered the partnership so why stop there with the changes?
