  • Elementary "The Rat Race" Review: Sexy Sherlock! (A Halloween-Themed Look at a Seriously Flawed Episode)

    However, even though it's made a lot of mistakes, I still continue to enjoy Elementary.

      This was a really interesting case, with an unexpected ending for me. I loved the first scene and then going back and the lead up to it. Episodes like that tend to work for me, and this is no exception. It was really good!



      So many interesting developments with the case and also at a personal level! I loved the episode and can't wait for more!
    • And the name of the song

      Anyone know the name of the song playing in the background of the coffee shop scene in "The Rat Race"? I have been trying hard to figure it out through multiple approaches with no luck. Please e-mail me at chevymtrsport at yahoo dot com if you have the answer. Thanks!
    • A clever title goes here!

      I thought it was her from the beginning. When she first appeared, she seemed mysterious, and I was getting a bad vibe from her. When holmes said that it was someone from the company and the man denied it, i thought it could have been her because as a secretary she is always with him.
    • There's something about it...

      8.0
      This show is full of silly things and mistakes that shouldn't have been made by show producers anymore. But i do love it. There's something about it. I just can't get to what it is really. This show should hire a good mystery writer just to ante up the cases, because somehow their police force is the stupidest one I've ever seen.

      After last week's episode, this one decreased in watch-ability for several reasons. The case was simple, the people were idiots. The clues were handed out on silver platters. It's very frustrating to know how intelligent this series should be, and then watch it and see how intelligent it isn't. So far, I think the only saving grace is Watson, though they do sometimes get me with the relationship they're developing. It's just not enough. Only a handful of episodes left before my cut-off date. C'mon guys. Get this show on the road.moreless

      • Holmes: It has its costs.
        Watson: What does?
        Holmes: Learning to see the puzzle in everything. They're everywhere. Once you start looking, it's impossible to stop. It just so happens that people, and all the deceits and delusions that inform everything they do, tend to be the most fascinating puzzles of all. Of course, they don't always appreciate being seen as such.
        Watson: Seems like a lonely way to live.
        Holmes: As I said, it has its costs.

      • Holmes: The man you met this morning, his name's Aaron, yes? He sent a text while you were in the bathroom at lunch, asked if you wanted to have dinner tonight.
        Watson: Didn't we already have this conversation? You don't touch my stuff.
        Holmes: You said yes, by the way.
        Watson: And you definitely don't accept dates on my behalf.
        Holmes: Why not? We're both equally aware that you're attracted to this man.
        Watson: No, we are both not equally aware of my feelings.
