Paint It Black

Wow, Elementary, that was a nice twist! And probably one related to original canon. I actually like that the show doesn't feel obliged to echo the Holmes stories, just nod at them occasionally, but I've been waiting for the end of the "Mycroft is" sentence all season.

Because I am on my own this weekend, I'm also catching up on "Once Upon a Time," which I'd abandoned for a long while. Still have many episodes to go, but I'm feeling (in the post-Pan period) that they're lobbing game-changers and then taking them back, and causing whiplash and cynicism in the process - not that one can take the show too seriously anyway, and I'm sure it worked better on a weekly basis.

Okay, must now get ready to go talk to people about vegetable gardening for four and a half hours.
