Regarding The Most Recent Episode Of Elementary....

I wanted to mention how much I adored the detailof Irene having red paint on her foot. For a half of an instant, I thought it might be blood, and even knowing it's paint, it's a wonderful way to reference the violence surrounding Irene's disappearance.

It's possible that Elementary has become one of those shows that I have become extra-picky over...because I love it, and because it is so consistently awesome. :)

*nods* I'm still bitter about that one line of Sherlocks about how most women are easy to figure out blah blah, something about perfume. Irene being the only women he loved/eclipsing the rest of the gender - that actually works for me. The idea that Sherlock is so fucking oblivious to the mixed social/societal pressures/IDEA THAT WOMEN ARE PEOPLE seems NOT ONLY sexist but actually OUT OF CHARACTER. As I said to myself at the time, 'fucking writers, women in general are not going to be ANY MORE BORING to Sherlock than DUDES IN GENERAL are.'

Yeah, I rolled my eyes a lot at that. Especially since JOAN IS ALSO A WOMAN and he has EMPIRICALLY OBSERVED things about her. And stuff.
