Elementary season 4 review

Well, I have less than an hour to write this whole post, but it shouldn’t take me too long. I will have to say that whoever does the Elementary episodes on Wikipedia needs to edit them down to something more manageable in the future that will be easier to read for these posts.

Season 4 overview: The main important part of this season was that Morland was introduced after only being stated that dad never shows by one of his sons, namely Sherlock Holmes. He was part of the main cast as was the only main character introduced in one season outside of the first to appear in others. A lot happened relating to Morland’s organization and the plots generally went various places all at once when this show happened.

How this season was different from others: The main different thing about this was that Morland was now on the show. I was surprised based on all this talk in other seasons that this would be a person that we would see on the show at all in the end.

What made it good: Without a main, centralized plot, the show didn’t have to go any set places as we got to see Morland in a way that made sense and saw other plots throughout the season the I think also worked out pretty well as well.

What made it bad: With too much of this proceeding without much of a point, it was hard to stay a bit focused in the whole season since there wasn’t much of a central focus to it. This might be the only season I can think of (outside of maybe others before it) that just didn’t have as much to it in terms of a long term plan.

More thoughts on it: I think that I missed a lot of this season as it aired which might have cause some issues for me here and there with how it affects me since it could have been a better season in my mind now if I hadn’t missed so much of it then. I did like the twist where it was revealed that Joan Watson has a sister. This was the last season that I didn’t blog any about until now.

That’s it for this blog post and I really shouldn’t have any blogs posted this late in the day ever. I am hoping that I will be able to do another, random post of this blog sometime before the year is over in order to affect this blog in 2023. But other things could benefit it as well. I wouldn’t expect you or anyone other than me to understand my OCD ways. Hopefully no one from the cast will die. Stay tuned for posts of this blog on Mondays for the near future until maybe sometime in 2022. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 6-7-2021

There will be some changes in this blog after this month’s post. I will be doing a random update of it next week on Monday. The posts of this blog will then be on the Monday after the first CSI: Cyber blog post of the year. Any potential random posts will be on Mondays for the foreseeable future until sometime next year. I am hoping that there will be a good reason to update this blog one other random time after next week’s post. Know that the cheats that I have used for this blog will now be moving to another blog of mine, but I don’t know which one it will be yet. Here are the known cheats to be used in the future: 8-9-2021 (Monday), 8-25-2021 (Wednesday), 10-11-2021 (Monday), 11-14-2021 (Sunday), 11-22-2021 (Monday), 2-14-2022 (Monday), and 4-25-2022 (Monday).

 

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 on July 23, 2021. 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 just yet at this point in time. I have no idea what is going on with this project right now as I can’t tell if it is out yet or not.

 

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. Guess that I’ll have to wait for now.

 

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. Another thing that she will be in is called (at least for now) Untitled Workplace Comedy that I hope gets a name soon in the future. She is also set to be in Shazam! Fury of the gods.

 

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 1st is a Sunday, then which weekend would the last one in May be? I don’t see this on imdb anymore.

 

Untitled Workplace Comedy: This is set to air on ABC. The release date is currently unknown as of this time. I don’t quite understand the plot as currently written on imdb as it seems poorly phrased in some places. Best I can understand, a diva boss changes who she is after an adoption with her assistant becoming a mentor. I just hope that this doesn’t burn off during the summer. We’ll see what becomes of it later as things move along.

 

Shazam! Fury of the gods: This is set for release on June 2, 2023. It is a sequel to the film Shazam and part of the DCEU. There is not a plot for this just yet. We’ll find out more about this in the future.

 

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 an unknown DVD release timeframe as of now.. 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. It could be good if I see it. It is based on a true story. Here’s a trailer for it:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJPFwQ1aYU

 

Thoughts on trailer: It is hard to gather as much from the trailer as I would like, but it does seem to be an interesting looking movie. I look forward to potentially seeing this and can only hope that this is interesting despite the trailer not being that detailed.

 

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 2021. 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 unknown at the time. 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.

 

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. There’s not much else that he is known to be doing right now. Maybe he’ll do more in the future. I’ll wait to see what it could be.

 

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.

 

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. He is also set to be in Escape Room 2. That could be something that I want to see in the future. Another thing that he’ll be doing is Showtrial.

 

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. This does not appear to be out yet, but for some reason is still mentioned as coming out last year. I will keep this in the updates for now until I know more for sure what is happening with it.

 

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions: This is a sequel to a previous movie. It is set to be out on July 16, 2022. I have not yet seen the first movie, but will probably wait to see it until after I have seen this one. It may sound odd, but that’s the current plan. I won’t say any more about this just yet as there can be more revealed in due time. I might like this. We’ll see. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2211430425?playlistId=tt9844522&ref_=tt_ov_vi

 

Thoughts on trailer: This could be interesting, although it does look cliché in some places. I hope that I’m able to see this before too long. I won’t know how much free time I’ll have in the future for movies and if I’ll be able to see movies in theaters even if they are in that format in the future. I hope to see it soon.

 

Showtrial: This has an unknown release date at this point in time. The plot relates to a possible media circus like trial captivating a bunch of people. There is no trailer for this yet. I think that this is a TV show like a mini-series.

 

Robert Doherty: He is working on something, but I can’t quite understand the name of it right now. It is called Alive II. Maybe I’ll understand more of it once more info on it comes out in the future. He does not seem to have any other projects in the works right now.

 

Alive II: 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.

 

Khandi Alexander: While she still acts some, as recently as 2019, I couldn’t find anything of hers that was major that she’s doing right now. The most recent thing that she did was a two parter on SEAL Team. I hope to see more of her in the future.
