I just received my copy of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. Awesome!

So, what was "Elementary" like? The CBS website won't show me the first episode, probably on some tenuous grounds of international geography.

Oh, it's aired? I'll have to check it out online after work. (Google 'watch elementary online' - I've been using WatchSeries, and GorillaVid, to watch series 3/4 of Castle and it works a treat in the UK)

As I predicted and is no surprise whatsoever, it did absolutely superb in the ratings, improving on the Mentalist who already was doing superb in the same slot. Seems it'll be CBS' big winner this year, following the tradition set by The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-O, and Person of Interest before it with relatively average procedurals becoming the biggest show of the season.
(I'll never forget Person of Interest for depriving us of the planned Abrams pilot in which Emerson and Terry O'Quinn solve crimes together as eccentric billionaires)

...want... Just about to watch Elementary. I'll report back. EDIT: Well, that was... hmm. Pretty much what I expected. Not very good, for one. Also, a rip-off of every. Single. Quirky. Crime show. It's like it took elements from all these other shows - Castle, Monk, Sherlock and the like - and threw them into a blender, hoping something good would come out. But it didn't. It was strangely flat, the writing felt rather forced and the plot was actually rather weak, with the deduction of what happened not really coming from anywhere and the big twist at the end being pulled right from the writer's arse. It also seems as if the writer don't know what people from England actually talk like, as I found Sherlock's dialogue quite bizarre at times. We don't really use the word 'prat', for example. I dunno. There were certain elements (a-ha!) about it that could have worked, but it just didn't gel together. I might try another episode, but I don't have high hopes.

Lucy Liu as Watson... *sudders*
Seriously, they couldn’t have fucked up Sherlock Holmes as much as they did with Elementary. It’s just embarrassing to watch.

And there's not even a decent reason for him to be in the US! Gah!

Did anyone else apart from me and Noname play The Testament of Sherlock Holmes? It was a rly good game it had flaws with graphics sounds and sometimes puzzles just not giving you any clue how to solve them but the good parts outshine the negatives and its a charming game and worth a play.
And you play as his dog! that's worth a go just for that!

I wonder if they’ll do another game after that one, hopefully a prequel. It would be cool if they did a game if you played as Young Sherlock Holmes.

Anyone here remember 'Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century'? Is it worth watching?
EDIT: Also, a not particularly glowing look at Testament.
