What do you think of the Lin Wen storyline in Elementary?
Hey there, I never had any strong feelings about it. I never disliked it but it felt like they were running out of storylines for Joan... so i never actually cared. It was like a side storyplot that they threw on her that I always forget about
And you?

Tortoises have terrible hearing. The music [Enya] is for you. You said you used to listen to spa music when you operated on patients. I thought it might reduce your agita during this bothersome task.

There is an elementary episode like this one, for those of you interested
Should be dozens more within the hour.
ELEMENTARY (2012-2019) 1.24
CBS Watson brining Shinwell back.
Me, looks at CBS Elementary, chuckles nervously
Both shows have the same writer team
fave ship dynamic: whatever the fuck it was these two had going on
Fluent in three dozen languages, but the man has never seen Say Anything.
rewatching elementary now with the knowledge Jonny Lee Miller had started with his own sobriety and recovery whilst filming is honestly transcendent. He is so GOOD. he is gut-wrenching. The scene where Sherlock explains his sobriety feels like a leaking faucet that requires constant maintenance and offers only not to drip in return - jlm does this thing with his voice where he's on the verge of tears but bored all at once. He's wrecked by a feeling he's utterly sick to death of having. It's such a compassionate performance. On another level it is truly crazy to me that we have so many Sherlock Holmes adaptations so eager to make Sherlock an addict, but Elementary is far and away the only adaptation that does that and takes the addiction seriously. Perhaps in part because of JLM's real life recovery, but we'll never know. On a rewatch, it's a lot :')

„Do you only consume Sherlock Holmes media for Johnlock?!“
I can not tell you how grumpy this comment makes me. First at all, everyone can enjoy media for their own reasons, but that’s just a side note
The main reason why I hate this comment is: it implies that we have the freedom to choose. It implies that when one Sherlock Holmes adaptation is not making Johnlock canon we can just turn around and say: „Pah! They are not making Johnlock canon. I am watching/reading another adaptation instead.“
Nothing could be more wrong. We do not have this freedom of choice. So far we have TPLOSH which implied gay Sherlock, Elementary with implied queer Sherlock, Sherlock & co which might make Sherlock gay… or not… only time will tell, and The Irregulars which made John canon gay and in love with Holmes. That’s it. Looking at the major adaptations… that’s it. One, ONE (!) canon gay John Watson. And that’s it.
I love the Sherlock Holmes stories because I know that I can witness my favorite detective duo solve mysteries not once, not twice… but for my whole life time. In every universe, past, present, future, audio, movie, book, series, as mice, gnomes, dogs, robots, women, thieves, everything. I can choose my Holmes adaptation based on my mood
But what do I watch when I am in the mood for some gay stuff? What do I watch?! Nothing. Because there is nothing.
And that’s why i am so grumpy. I am queer, and I am a fan, and I can not unsee the irony that we live in 2024, where Holmes and Watson can be everything, but not in love. They can’t even be queer on their own, for goodness sake.
I am consuming Sherlock Holmes media despite knowing that Johnlock might never be canon. Two or more Sherlock Holmes adaptations are in the work right now. In one of them Holmes is dead and Watson leading a hospital, in the other one Holmes is young and appearently has a female love interest, no Watson anywhere near him.
So don’t you dare to tell me that I only consume Sherlock Holmes media for Johnlock
Also the amount of people i saw recently making fun of the Johnlock fan movie is just disgusting. Queers did something for themselves and the only reaction you have for this is hatred. If you ask yourself why Johnlock isn’t canon yet in a major adaptation, maybe you are part of the problem
Saw one of the last 30 (!) remaining stuffed Quagga today and went full Elementary mode! Look at him 🥹
I remember being obsessed with Quaggas when I first learned about them.
This is awesome!
