Also, having her in a relationship with someone else means Sherlock would have to come to terms with the possibility of her leaving one day.

Focusing on how the tv show storyline has being evolving I do not dislike the match of Joan with Mycroft; I actually saw it happening from the first episode that Mycroft was introduced, I just thought "this guys gonna paired them up" and I think they did it, God knows if they are gonna make them an item or just a one time thing, to make Joan´s and Sherlock´s relationship a little deeper than before and see how Sherlock reacts to such thing. I´m able to enjoy the show because I´m able to ignore the canon Holmes that I so dearly love for a minute when I watch Elementary. Even though I always gonna prefer the original Holmes and the BBC´s version more than Elementary, I kind of like the liberties they take here and there, just to see what would happen if... since I knew Elementary was an american show about Sherlock Holmes I said to myself "if you´re gonna watch this you gotta open your mind completly, ´cause they are americans and they have a way of doing their shows" the only thing though is, like a typical american show, it gets predictable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-85615755462380758252013-11-12T04:36:23.972+05:302013-11-12T04:36:23.972+05:30You made a very wise move.

It was a beautiful explanation of how highly sensitive people see and feel the world. Jonny Lee Millers acting is superb. I'm so grateful that in Elementary the matters of giftedness and high sensitivity are treated with so much accuracy and respect.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-43935249862910598982013-11-10T20:15:08.192+05:302013-11-10T20:15:08.192+05:30Thanks James.

I liked Mycroft's first episode because it was clear that Mycroft and Watson had nothing to do with each other romantically, plus the whole idea is stupid. At first I thought Watson was lying to Sherlock to let him hear what he wants since the first episode made it mostly clear that nothing happened between Mycroft and Watson. Except for that majorly annoyance, seeing Mycroft again was good, Ifans does an excellent job in the role, even if the material given him could be a lot better. <br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-36950344573216941682013-11-09T04:37:42.049+05:302013-11-09T04:37:42.049+05:30Thanks John.
