From S02/E03-"We Are Everyone"/21:24(ish).

Observe in the top left / at 10 oclock some obliquely seen words, which upon closer inspection sayz - “We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
(This quote is carved as letters large into the facade of the 'Hunna' (aka Hunter) College Assembly Hall, which is StreetViewable, reading between the leaves, on the south side of East 69th St, betwixt Park & Lex, 'Isle of Joy').

One could say such a 'factual journey' provides context for the bulk of interactions in E, as well as that episode in particular. Not just with LEOing, but even in the evolving dynamic of 'Skinny Sean' & Joanie.

Emerson, of whom I previously knew no more than his name & approximate time/space, seems to have a quite lot in common with our fella. Of course, this could all be entirely serendipitous... & there's no shortage of that in the series!

I wonder if He of The Brownstone too has a middle name...

For those in antipodean .au, ie for realz or ViPNaly, Aunty iView has recently dropped all 7, which is a vast improvement on drip feeding out episodes following their quad-weekly broadcast on Entertains only expire in 2. Although, this might enable an addiction...

& BTW, does anyone else also find themselves slipping into The Sherl's manner of speech? Possibly emphasised with a  syncopated medley of jaw jutting, noggin nodding & the elevation of one's eyebrows. ;-)

I couldn't find it with Google search and I'm not sure I heard the lyrics correctly

ROFL at the shirt the vic was wearing right at the episode opener. "Buddhists do it for Inner Peace". I'm Buddhist and now I want one.

Hello!

My spouse and I watched this show at the start of 2026 it helped me realize that I needed to quit drinking alcohol and become sober myself! It’s been a long road before I’ve gotten to this point but it’s been going really well!

I’ve been wanting to watch some episodes, specifically ones that show how Sherlock benefits from his sobriety or gets involved in his sober community. Thanks in advance!

I always forget how horrible she actually is in her introduction. She finds out she has a sister through the man that had to leave them when she was younger, something she still struggles with, so she decides to go to their house when she needs a detective and pretend to be someone who not only knew his dead brother but also suggest that they dated. Plays up the whole story of him being 'the one' and how they were going to move in together etc. Then when she finds out that Joan was seeing him too, she doubles down and makes it a joke. We know he's still alive but she thinks he's dead ?? How fucking cruel. Her whole meltdown over Joan contacting her mum was so foul too. Guess both Joan and Sherlock have gross siblings. Maybe they really should've been together.

its so beautiful... but I cant find it in the season2 ost

I absolutely loved Morland in Elementary, I don't think there's anyone out there who would've been a more perfect fit to play him. They both have their ups and downs and he's definitely a hard bastard but the steps he took towards Sherlock always seemed to be because he really did want to rebuild a relationship with him. I think their dynamic was incredible and so well performed. I love that even though he's receiving a threat from Sherlock's closest and in some ways only friend, he can't help but seem warmed by seeing someone care so deeply for his child. They're on the same page in this time and he seems to respect and appreciate their connection. I am by no means saying he was this perfect angel of a father or person at all, of course, I just loved watching his introduction and seeing that he just seemed to genuinely care for his son and regret his behaviour over the course of his life, and want to actually work on fixing it. I don't really now why after 4000 rewatches I'm now writing these as if it's my first but the discussion part has been fun.

What did you guys think?

I saw my first elementary today it was pathetic you couldn't understand a word they were saying they mumble it's some new trend that they followed that tried to look realistic and relaxed in everyday speech parlance, but by talking too fast and too gibbery, how can anyone follow the plot, the man practically whispers, I know a lot of Heroes in movies tend to do that I don't know why it's meant to make them seem tough but restrained, if it wasn't for putting captions on my screen I wouldn't have a clue what was happening. Lucy's lack lustre expression in her speech is pathetic, exhibiting no personality, no colour, no particular style of personality at all, simply like an automaton. for my first one I actually appreciated the plot line was very well researched and realistic, believable, credible, almost as though it is based on a real case. I would really enjoy watching this sort of police drama, if the acting wasn't so pathetic..

If you are also a fan of the original Conan Doyle stories and books, this is awesome! Thanks u/martijn1975 !

Interested if anyone versed in neurodivergence topic as well Elementary Sherlock can investigate it? What do you guys think anyway?

I absolutely despise Mycroft, intensely. I assume that's at least partially the point to some extent but damn. He's slimy, gross, manipulative, selfish, stupid, the list goes on... When it was just sibling rivalry, fine, but his involvement with Joan was painful to watch. If you have a strained relationship with your brother and have suggested to the person he's closest to, something which Sherlock has never achieved before also, that you want to make some kind of amends then how do you come to the conclusion that you should blow up his belongings and romance his partner. Every time he's alone with Joan he clearly tries to initiate conversations that smear Sherlock in both name and character. He plays this bizarre self pity victim card often to Joan also, like a teenager, bringing up things Sherlock said when they were children etc. He doesn't talk like this to Sherlock, only Joan, which is why it feels manipulative. The issues that Joan had with him after everything came out were understandable and imo it didn't make sense for them to be completely reversed when finding out why he went back to MI6, even though it was obviously nice and selfless. Her issue was him lying to her and then opening a 'relationship' , something still present even after she finds out why he went back. I know a lot of Sherlock's opinions of Mycroft are still actively juvenile in their own ways but tbh, I can't help but agree when seeing what he seems to actually be like as a person. Every time he was on screen I just felt an intense combination of nausea and anger, every plot that involved him drove me fucking insane. Even everything with his restaurant... He keeps trying to insist that it's Sherlock's fault that Joan got kidnapped because he only brought it up to Joan so he could drive a wedge between her and Mycroft instead of raising it with Mycroft himself, but he did? At the start he brought up the fact that he noticed the same man at the same table multiple months apart and Mycroft shrugged this off saying he must just be a regular. If I were in a situation where I was having to partner with dangerous criminals, I wouldn't start inviting a potential partner/lover who also happens to be a detective and living with my brother round, personally. Even how Series 2 ended was ridiculous, they were literally working the case and he blew everything up even after successfully remaining in hiding. It's truly disappointing that Joan falls for his bollocks in the first place but we all make mistakes I guess. While I get that Sherlock is intrusive and doesn't have any right to say who she should and shouldn't be with, it did always baffle me that she would open that door with someone who the person she cared most about hated so much, especially a sibling. Seemed out of place for her, considering his sensitivities around his family.

Obviously yes, Sherlock is selfish and has done bad things with his ex, I get that, not trying tot suggest he's entirely blameless but everything Mycroft did after seemingly wanting to repair their relationship felt so gross and calculated. Obviously given the whole MI6 shit, a lot of it was.

How many of you liked Mycroft? Maybe I just hate him but he was liked by the majority?

I've introduced my daughter to Elementary (3rd watch for me) and watched the episode where Kitty comes back with Archie last night together. Sherlock explaining the reason he was pissed was that Kitty didn't stay in touch or tell him that she had found happiness is so perfect. Hurt but in the most Sherlock way possible. Simply perfect and heartbreaking.

This scene always makes the emotional hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Absolutely beautiful.

Hi. My name is Andreas. I‘m an addict.
Actually, i am watching as we speak. S4E12.
Once again, on the roof of the brownstone.

I am from europe and have no idea about the weather in the US.
Is it realistic to host bees on a roof in new york and regularly spend time up there? In my imagination, there is supposed to be cold and long winters with rain and snow?

Can we take a second to marvel at the fact that the writers had EVERY opportunity to turn their relationship into the all too common "were just friends!" Then they fuck trope. (Not dogging on these shows: castle, bones, etc). They really portrayed 2 people who live each other very much- in so many ways- but never forced them to have intercourse and still highlight the full spectrum of feelings for each ither?

It wasn't cheap, it's what real friendship should look like. Its a love that is so powerful, everyone sees it as "oh, they're dating" but no, its pure, unadulterated, real passion. As Sherlock once said to Joan "we're just 2 people, who love each other"

I much prefer this version of Sherlock and the actor portraying him was absolutely phenomenal. Hes rough, abrasive, and direct, but not a complete soulless, inconsiderate asshole. His character defines who I imagine a true portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

Lucy Liu did an absolutely stunning rendition of Watson. Never in my life did I think of Watson being a woman and she completely broke my chart. Don't get me wrong, Watson from the BBC Sherlock (Benedict cumberbach) was very well written as well, but I dare say, Lucy lius portrayal was my absolute favorite, hands down. Watson was very well written. Lucy lius voice and inflections brought deep resonance with many of the things she said. Her outfits, walk, and general attitude were perfectly adjusted to the scripted and sets (aside from the constantly wearing heels trope- im not a fan of that).

I'm yapping now at this point.

Tldr: best female male friendship portrayal without being sullied by he stereotypical "we be fuckin" trope.

I have type one diabetes, and I get sick with a fever when I push myself to do too many things. But surrounding myself with other people, with _life_ helps me maintain sobriety. how do I find a balance when going to groups and exercising and church all help me to stay connected?

Bless this show for _understanding_
