Elementary season 2 review

Continuing on to the next season already, I thought that I would do the next review of it as a random post for this blog. I do not think that it will be any time soon that I’ll review the next one, but we’ll see what happens. Now let’s get to this in the next paragraphs.

Season 2 overview: The main change about this season is that starting in the first episode, Sherlock’s brother is more important to the story. There were subplots with MI6 that lead to Sherlock getting a job there in the season finale with them and set up the next season's arcs.

How this season was different from others: I don’t think that there was much different from this season and other, earlier seasons of the show. Sherlock and Watson are partners throughout the whole season and they create more of a professional friendship here than they otherwise would have or at least did starting out. We didn’t get too many subplots outside of with Sherlock’s brother in the show.

What made it good: There were a lot of good episodes this season and no real bad ones, even if there weren’t a lot of standout ones. There were a lot of interesting parts of this season. The story arc where Watson was kidnapped was interesting to see.

What made it bad: There still wasn’t a lot of recurring parts to this show yet and it wasn’t as good since it didn’t have as much to keep us into it if we didn’t care as much about it. Parts of it could be hard to follow and not make as much sense as a result.

More thoughts on it: This season was pretty good in the end and it had a lot of links to London that we saw in the end. London would always be a part of Sherlock’s life and this season had more links to it than we would otherwise see, at least in the first season. They even filmed the premiere in London.

With not much else to say, I will end the post around here. What else is there to say? I can’t remember all of this season that well right now, but did recall a lot of the plots after reading them again online. I do not think that there’s much else to say so I will stop talking now. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Elementary season 1 review

In the first of any random posts for this blog (some are planned, but I don’t yet know what they will be, if you’ll ever see them, or when you might see them), I am going to review the first season of this show for the rest of you to enjoy. It won’t be like how I reviewed episodes like I have in years past. Let’s get to this review in question.

Season 1 overview: We are introduced to Sherlock and Joan Watson in this season. We also get to see the other characters of Thomas Gregson and Marcus Bell. Sadly, there wasn’t much to the other two main characters, at least starting out. We learn more about Sherlock’s addition as things go along and watch Watson go from sober companion to Sherlock’s partner as the season progresses. We also learn more about Irene and who it turns out she really is.

How this season was different from others: This season was largely devoid of recurring storylines that we saw in other seasons, with only his addiction problems and Irene being things that were returned to at some point in time throughout this season and the rest of the show.

What made it good: It was nice to have all of these characters introduced in the way that they were and we saw a lot out of most of them to learn enough about them in the end. We didn’t waste too much time learning about who everyone was in the end nor did we lose too much not knowing what we didn’t know at the time, if at all.

What made it bad: It didn’t seem like there was as much of a recurring storyline this time around like there probably should have been or that we would be used to later. We never learned much about who Tommy was this time around as not much of his character was fleshed out in the future.

More thoughts on it: I was a fan of this show since the first episode, but am unsure yet if I saw all of it at the time or if I missed any of it when it first aired. I don’t think that there is too much else to say about it as we learned a lot and I think that we didn’t lose much of anything on long introductions.

With not much else to say, I will end this post here. I wish that there was more to say, but there is not. I hope that this post wasn’t too hastily written. If you saw random posts on other posts that I do them in, you may wonder if you’ll see posts like that a lot. Well, I will be not be doing that as much in this blog for various reasons. I hope to be back sooner with the next cast update than I was this month. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 7-12-2020

I am sorry this post is as late as it is. I had wanted it done sooner, but did not seem to have the time when it came to updating other blogs when I wanted to all because of a show that got rolled when it affected things too much. Of course, you have had to wait a long time for a cast update before. If you read the last post of any of my Survivor blog posts that are hopefully about an episode of the show, it should hopefully come with a calendar that would say when different posts are planned for the future. I should be doing my first random one tomorrow and then go back to the normal schedule later. You should be lucky that this post is here now at all as if I were caught up on Survivor episodes, I would have posted another episode today instead of this blog. I don’t know if this makes sense to any other people or not.

Jonny Lee Miller: It seems that he currently has only one project that I know of in the work. It is a movie called Nine Lives. I’ll keep track of anything else that I see him doing in the future. He also appears to be in a movie called Settlers. Another movie that he will appear in is Alice.

Nine Lives: This doesn’t have a release date or a trailer just yet. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with cats. It’s a science fiction movie about a team of humans having to work with clones (I think) all in outer space somewhere for some reason.

Settlers: This is set for release in 2020. I’m not entirely sure that this isn’t the same movie as the previous one and imdb is confused. I will keep this as separate for now as I’m not sure what’s happening with this.

Alice: This has an unknown release date right now. This could be a horror film or might be based on reality. A slave escapes only to find a shocking discovery nearby. I’d have to see a trailer to know for sure what genre this might be. Only there’s none yet and it could reveal more to this film that I’d want to know.

Lucy Liu: I saw based on promos that she is in a show known as Why Women Kill. It turns out that she will also be in other projects. One is called The Last Weekend in May. I have no idea when that last project would be set for.

Why Women Kill: This is a CBS all access series that is available already. I can pretty much guess based on the title what this might be about. I probably won’t be able to watch it unless I can see it for free at some point in the future.

The Last Weekend in May: There is no release date for this yet. There also isn’t a trailer or even a plot. If I had to guess, a significant point of this movie relates to the end of the month of May. That might even be a good time to release this movie if they wanted to. If June 1^st is a Sunday, then which weekend would the last one in May be? I don’t see this on imdb anymore.

Aidan Quinn: I thought that given his limited role in the final season of Elementary that we might be seeing less of him. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. He will be doing different things. For one, he will be part of the movie Butterfly in the Typewriter that Desmond Harrington will also be in. He will also be in a miniseries called The American Guest. He’ll also be in The Gettysburg Address, which I find unlikely since that already happened in the 1860s. He’ll also be in Spiked.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: From what I understand of the plot, an author struggles to bring a story to life in this movie. I don’t know yet if it is based on a true story. It could be very Meta if you know what that means. It has no release date yet.

The American Guest: This is a miniseries that will air sometime in 2019. It might be international, which means that I might not be able to see it as a result. The plot is unknown as this time, but a potential spoiler about it relates to the role Aidan plays in it: that of Teddy Roosevelt. I have no idea if this is out now somehow or not.

The Gettysburg Address: Apparently they are going to milk the whole address into a movie. This seems like a weird choice since Lincoln himself in the address said that people will little remember what they say today. There is no release date yet for this.

Spiked: This has a release year of 2020. This has no trailer yet. The plot is about issues relating to a small town murder and the feud between a police chief and journalist in that town. It could be interesting, but cliché. This will be on the USA Network.

Jon Michael Hill: While he might do something after the show in good time, there is nothing that I see him doing right now as of yet. I will keep this section phrased like this until he does something that is worth putting down in here.

John Noble: He has a lot of projects in the work, so I might as well get to mentioning all of them. One is called Silencio. Another is called Nameless. A different one is called Stream. Yet another is called Guardians of Luna. I wonder if they’ll all get made. He’s also in something new called Call Waiting. Yet another thing he appears to be in is Home Invasion. I wonder what all he’ll show up in randomly.

Silencio: This was in Mexican and not American theaters. It has a plot mentioned of someone looking for a powerful stone. It has a DVD release time frame of November 2020. I hope to review it when it is out on DVD. It might only be on blu ray and not DVD.

Nameless: This could be interesting. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The plot relates to lost souls facing struggles with their past. It seems like it could be a good film, but it is hard to tell or know yet for sure. It seems like it could be good.

Stream: In this movie, telepathy is made possible, but it could have unforeseen outcomes. This seems like a possible basic premise for Downsizing with a different element of sci-fi used instead. There is not yet a trailer and there’s no release date yet. It only lists his role as rumored, so the movie could wind up happening, but not have him in it.

Guardians of Luna: This plot might be hard to keep track of. So there are werewolves that are part of a cursed town and there’s a war on humans potentially. It has no release date yet nor a trailer. But it does sound pretty interesting.

Call Waiting: This is has no plot listed yet. It’s year of release is 2019. I guess that we will find out later what will happen with this and what the plot of this short might be. Until then, I guess we’ll just wait and see what will happen with it. I have no idea if this is out yet, but will keep it in the updates for now. Hopefully I’ll find out more in the future about it.

Home Invasion: This TV series has little that imdb is revealing thus far. I don’t know what network it would be on. I just know that it will have at least six episodes. It has no release date right now. I must not know a potential plot yet. Check out my facebook group, Firefly: Where are They Now? This might have more updates on this in question since Morena Baccarin is in this as well. Hopefully, something will come of this.

Desmond Harrington: He is set to appear in a movie called Butterfly in the Typewriter, which I’ll explain in the next paragraph. Another thing that he is doing is a TV show that is called Manhunt. I’ll explain more of that now.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: I can’t tell yet if this is based off of a true story or not. I do know that it is about the struggles of an author to bring a comedy story to life. It has an unknown release date at this time. I guess we’ll see what comes of it later.

Manhunt: This is a TV show about the hunt to catch the Unabomber. It is out now. I have no idea yet just how much of this has already aired and what little recent parts of it might have come up at some point. But I do know that this is airing, even if it could be largely over at some point in time by now. I have no idea what network this is on.

James Frain: While he has done a lot and could potentially have more of a role in previous things that he has done, what is worth noting now is that he will be in a movie called The Jester from Transylvania. I still don’t quite understand what Transylvania is.

The Jester from Transylvania: This has a release year of 2020. It says Italy so might not be in this country. It also doesn’t have a plot mentioned, but it is likely about a jester from Transylvania. Who this jester is and what he or she does that’s important does not seem to be known about the movie yet at this point in time. Maybe I will at some point.

Robert Doherty: He is working on something, but I can’t quite understand the name of it right now. I will call it Alive, even though it could be called Alive II. Maybe I’ll understand more of it once more info on it comes out in the future.

Alive: This is a TV movie. Its airdate is currently unknown. Someone is resurrected mysteriously and this man or woman is a cop. I guess that we’ll see what happens with this project later. Also note that Alive II might be the title and make more sense regarding the bringing someone back from the dead angle. Doesn’t this sound a lot like FOX’s Second Chance from not too long ago?

Emily Procter: She hasn’t done much since CSI: Miami ended. She is a mom so I don’t know if that means she’d be acting less. Maybe she’ll do something at some point. But I don’t see anything that she’s doing just yet. Maybe I’ll see more later.
