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.

I loved that detail too. For a second I thought Irene was going to be dead and I freaked out. I can't wait for the next episode. I'm pretty sure Irene was kidnapped or coerced into faking her own death, but part of me is hoping for a twist where she's Moriarty.

(and I now ship Joan/Irene and they haven't even interacted yet)

I am really, REALLY crossing my fingers that Irene was a bit more involved than that - I want her to somehow be involved with Moriatory in a way that gives her more agency. Basically, I want her hands to be dirty.

Me too. I hope Irene is a con artist or something.

...oh now I want to ship Irene/Natasha.

I've heard 'art forger' bandied around and I LOVE that idea.

...oh now I want to ship Irene/Natasha.

I don't know if I'd ship Nat with Irene, but I am certainly down with them getting coffee and chatting in various european cafes.

That was an incredibly creepy moment, and I had no trouble picturing a body suspended there...*shudder*

Exactly.

I liked that detail too.

I do wish, though, that this had been like that episode of Angel with Juliet Landau where, since she didn't say anything and they didn't have to credit her, her appearance was a surprise.

*nods*

Honestly, I feel her appearance was dramatic enough that I can't really complain.

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. :)

(Joan's penis line, OMG!)

*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.

That whole sequence of Joan meeting him there and then them entering the house and slowly searching but so obviously in tune with each others movements... And then the "oh shit she's dead" fake out and then Joan propping him up while he wibbles. Soooooo good. I watched it twice.

Also please enjoy these off topic gifs because I must share them (apologies if you've seen them already):

And also a texts from last night thing that is cracking me up:

That was actually the only one I'd seen before but after consulting with the googles I have found this one (http://once-upon-a-text.tumblr.com/)--love the boat one and the one below that's Ruby/David. Also this (http://swanqueentfln.tumblr.com/) SwanQueen one, which I find more amusing. On iTouch right now or I'd include some of my favs (don't have the photobucket app).

Also question: have you used the tumblr app? I can't usually read more than the first page of tumblrs because mobile safari fucking hates tumblr (also why the fuck can't I view it page by page like I can on my laptop? Seriously my laptop could actually handle endless scroll, mobile safari is not equipped for that). Anyway yeah, wondering if you've found any workarounds.

Ooooh, those are hilarious!

And the one compliant I have about the tumblr app is that tagging things is a pain in the ass.
