Ha! As soon as I saw Colin Sweeney I knew he was the culprit. I can't think of anything I've seen him in where he's the hero or innocent.

I don't watch Elementary but I too would have known he was the bad guy. Oh so many shows make this mistake in bad guy casting. They give it away as soon as the name appears in the opening credits.

True, but for the men and women playing the bad guys and gals, it's steady income.

7/16/18 - A somewhat disappointing episode, but they've been having such a good run lately, I'll forgive them this one. I guess what I found most disappointing is the lack of Natalie Dormer. I know she's busy and probably doesn't have the time and her salary demands might be a bit pricy now, but it would have been nice to see her and Sherlock together again, and to throw in John Noble in the scene would have been priceless. Such talent on set at the same time.
I will give them this, they did find a cute replacement for Natalie, Wrenn Schmidt is very easy on the eyes.

I finally caught up again, an I wonder what Sherlock is up to. He told the emissary {Spoiler Warning - Click Here} that he was going to help Moriarty kill his father, but he told his father that {Spoiler Warning - Click Here} he was going to help his father.

USMCBRAT - go back and watch the end of episode 11 again. I think you missed something. There was no real conversation between Sherlock and Ellery, just implied.

At the risk of asking the obvious, why do people like this show? It isn't like this is the Sherlock we all loved when we were growing up.

I don't care for Elementary either but love the BBC Sherlock - which also isn't the Sherlock Holmes from way back when. Not a fan of other filmed versions in this universe but love the radio versions.

I used to enjoy this “version” of Sherlock, dude, because I am a fan of Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller, and in the beginning I thought the concept was clever...
but I’ve grown tired of it because the “crime of the week” is usually so convoluted it makes my eyes cross, and most of the time by the end of the episode there’s a confession by the perp (who is rarely with an attorney) in the interrogation room, when Sherlock, Watson, Captain Gregson, and Detective Bell “gang up” on him/her... highly unlikely and quite silly...
sometimes I watch it if there’s not much else on, but it definitely isn’t “must see tv” these days...

I could have sworn Sherlock told Ellery (great name BTW), that he would rather see his father dead. ( I loved the old Ellery Queen series with Jim Hutton).

I like it precisely because it isn't the Sherlock we all loved when we were growing up. It is a fresh take. I will agree with others that the BBC version is better, but they have much longer to produce their episodes, and frankly, and don't know if we are ever going to get another "series" of Sherlock. I love the interplay between all of the characters, the character development, the sheer intelligence of the interplay. Granted, some of the "crimes of the week" are not always brilliant, but most are very intriguing.

Episode 12 - 7/23/18 - Meet Your Maker.
If you have not seen the episode yet, stop reading. I'm not messing around with the spoiler alerts feature. So, SPOILER ALERT.
Excellent episode. I was completely unaware that one could hand make a gun. Although when one thinks about it, with the proper equipment and skills, it would be possible. The complication of the case, the twists, and the problems faced by both Joan and Sherlock were very intriguing to me, and the bad guy was not someone I would have guessed prior to the reveal.
What was most appealing with this episode was the further development of Sherlock's and Bells' relationship. The evolution of the relationship from the time Bell was shot to Sherlock recommending Bell for the Federal Marshal's is massive. And Sherlock's reasoning for recommending him was very UnSherlock.
But this evolution also leads me to believe they filmed all the episodes prior to the series being picked up for next year. The parade of former guest stars, and recurring characters, and now a seeming exit strategy for John Michael Hall suggest that Bell is leaving and the producers were laying the ground work for the end of the series. The main reason for this thinking was Sherlocks reason for recommending Bell, that eventually Gregson will retire, a new Captain will be appointed, and possibly Sherlock and Joan will have to find a new sponsor to work with. And Bell will be left alone, with his talents quite possibly underappreciated by new superiors.
I'm hoping that Bell doesn't leave, but it seem likely he will. The question that now arises is who will replace him, and what will that relationship with Sherlock be like?

A few years ago there was a documentary that dealt on weapons in prisons. The prisoners can be very ingenious when it comes to making weapons. Also did you know that they really can make weapons with these 3-D printers? There is a gun company that has started making them now. Saw a ad on Facebook the other day.

I knew that 3-D printers could make the majority of a gun, both NCIS and Elementary have dealt with the 3-D printer gun. They are limited in their lifespan and capability, but still deadly.
I was also familiar with the "shives" prisoners make in prison. And I shouldn't have been surprised that a blacksmith and small metal toy maker could combine to make a hand gun. A blacksmith somewhere had to have been the first to make the musket and pistol to begin with.

With good metalworking equipment and talent, one can make almost anything, so the gunsmithing did not surprise me - but the scale of the operation was a bit optimistic at best.
I did read on the SpoilerTV message boards that Jon Michael Hill was going to be on another series - but that series was not named. nor do I have any indication as to the veracity of that post. He will be missed. I guess I don't have a good understanding as to what the US Marshal's Service does, as I would think that moving there would be a waste of Bell's keen investigative skills. Wouldn't he be better off taking the Sergeant's exam and working his way towards Captain?
