My alternative choices to watching 'Elementary' recently have been 'The Murdoch Mysteries', 'NCIS', and especially the 2013 Petrenko/Panin Russian 'Sherlock Holmes' series (on YouTube), all of which are far superior to 'Elementary' for me for those same reasons. Also, thanks to the trailers available, I find myself very much looking for to the Ian McKellen 'Mr. Holmes' movie coming out this summer.Howard Ostromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974147547261766167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050562120926551216.post-28588000479302074232015-05-05T06:56:38.079-05:002015-05-05T06:56:38.079-05:00He will always have 'shipping' to write ab...He will always have 'shipping' to write about.JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294886206454693626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050562120926551216.post-49386848231474754382015-05-04T18:37:55.745-05:002015-05-04T18:37:55.745-05:00As Brad wrote on September 3, 2012: "In truth...As Brad wrote on September 3, 2012: "In truth, if I could find the big switch at CBS to shut the thing down unseen, I would give it a hard yank into the off position. Like one of those Bond villains who takes it upon himself to kill off half the world’s population for some noble cause, I have become just that against this Sherlock about to be born." To prevent "Elementary" from existing, Brad would have happily killed 3.5 billion people. However, I'm sure that's a slight exaggeration on his part. In truth, I think he'll be vary sad when it finally goes of the air, because he needs a windmill to tilt at.James C.

In Brad's review of the same show he writes, "Really? Another boyfriend or girlfriend we'll never see again, even if they make it to a second episode? This show. Tsk." This is a favorite ploy of Brad's, criticizing "Elementary" for future actions they have not taken and may never take. So, having introduced Det. Shauna Scott as Bell's girlfriend on the third to last episode of the season, does he now expect her to be on every show from now on, this season and the next? Perhaps if Bell had his own spinoff that would be expected. Last week he criticized the show for hardly using Bell. Now that Bell has a focus this week, the criticism is for giving him an interest outside of work that now won't be the central Bell-focus for episodes from now on.<br />James C.
