  • Elementary "Details" Review: Why Watson and Sherlock Can Never Hook Up

    "Details" stayed just this side of making Sherlock's offer of an apprenticeship romantic, and it's my fervent hope that they can continue to develop the unique Watson-and-Sherlock, platonically-in-love vibe.

      Details was a perfect and very entertaining episode of Elementary. I really enjoyed watching because the story was awesome and well written. There was lots of character growth and plot development along with drama and intrigue. I liked how everything played out snd I look forward to watching what happens next! !!!!!!!!
    • If you ever wonder how Sherlock and Watson celebrate Valentine's Day...

      9.5
      there's a confession, a proposal and a statement same as any other couple, with a single detail that makes them different from the rest, but it's not the self-defense lessons as much as plain honesty. The truth is that Sherlock IS concerned about her safety, he is worried that she might turn him down, and he has no idea why she has that effect on him, but he's grateful for it. Not because it makes him a better person or sharper at his job, but because it makes her a true companion, a partner, a mate. A consort of the mind as well as the spirit, the better half he didn't know he needed until he found her, a relationship that rings all the more romantic because it's not.

      Thoroughly enjoying this series and for me, this was the best episode yet. Great storyline and a fantastic ending where the truth about Watson's employment finally came out,



      Great stuff.
    • Do your firearms homework

      8.0
      I thoroughly enjoy this show, and this is the first glaring mistake I've seen them make. Other than shotguns, there have been no smooth bore firearms made for about two hundred years. An H&K MP5 comes standard with a rifled barrel -- no crazy modifications for insane criminals needed to rifle that barrel. Otherwise, an excellent episode.

      I really like this Sherlock, and even though I haven't thought this series as amazing as the BBCs 'Sherlock,' I reeeally liked this episode. It made me smile loads. I'll keep watching.

      • Holmes: (asks Watson to be his partner) See, this is an important decision, and I encourage you to discuss it with others. Explain what you have been to me and what I believe you can be to me. Hmm. Partner. And lest you think that this is an act of, uh, charity, a gift from a grateful client, let me assure you, it is not. I am... better with you, Watson. Um, I'm sharper, I'm more focused. Difficult to say why, exactly. Perhaps, in time, I'll solve that, as well.

      • Holmes: It's funny detective. The second I heard about the attempt on your life, I dove into your case history. I though it'd be only a matter of time before the culprit's identity presented itself. I was wrong. You've done excellent work over the years. Made a lot of enemies. There's no shortage of people who would like to see you dead.
        Bell: You say it like it's a good thing.
        Holmes: Well, there is, in my humble opinion, no greater compliment an investigator can receive. Speaks to the quality of your work.

      • Watson: (after Sherlock's fake attack she falls over and realizes the attacker is Sherlock) What is your damage?
        Holmes: Look, given that you were held at gunpoint in this very room little over a week ago, I thought, perhaps, a test of your ability to defend yourself was in order. It was. You have much to learn about the art of self-preservation.
        Watson: Okay, if you ever do that again, I swear--
        Holmes: You'll what? Fall over again?
