I hope it's not the last of Moriarty {liked the chat with Watson} we see, she was caught pretty easily last night imo....still a great end to season one, which turned out to be a Gem of a Series.
Loved the bee's at the end too. "Spirit of the Dambusters-and all that" Fully expect ole Moriarty to escape and to find that her capture was part of some dastardly plot or other. Loved the "Dambusters" reference too...... |

"Last of Moriarty"?. No way, she's too good a villain to discard so quickly.

I'd go with it being a dastardly plan. Then we'd find out Sherlock knew she had a plan and let herself be captured. Then it'll be revealed she knew Sherlock knew she allowed herself to be captured and it's all part of a bigger plan. Then Sherlock will announce he always knew about this bigger plan, knowing that she knew that he knew she let herself be captured.... and then Moriarty will say obviously he knew she knew he knew she knew he was only pretending to be sick and this is ll part of an even bigger plan.... then she'll just sit back and watch as 1/2 the audience's brains will explode, and the other 1/2 all crouch in a darken corner eating jello.

loved the last few episodes , inspired idea to have Irene be Moriarty .
but - now I'm trying to remember back - what details were we given about her 'death' ? how was Sherlock tricked into believing she was dead ? |

Surely super sleuth Sherlock would have realised she was putting on a dodgy accent the whole time?

Rhys Ifans and Sean Pertwee were rather good as Mycroft Holmes and Insp. Lestrade respectively

No, Elementary is fine. Unfortunately, it airs opposite Scandal and Thursday night (American) football. However, DVR viewing pumps up the ratings nicely.

Exacty, the consolidated ratings are the ones to look for but it's the overnights that make the headlines

It was an okay start - I thought Ifans underplayed Mycroft but, in the spirit of Elementary, certain characters aren't as expected from other adaptations.

Plus The Mentalist and The Good Wife are doing worse. The Mentalist definitely seems to being wrapped up to end this season so they could move Elementary to Sunday next year as they are unlikely to put a new show there with the football overruns.
Let's not forget that Sunday night in the US is a very crowded night for viewers. There is HBO beginning with Boardwalk Empire. Showtime is also busy with Homeland and Masters of Sex. AMC has The Walking Dead and the Talking Dead. Before that it was Breaking Bad and Low Winter Sun. So, very crowded indeed. Finally tptb are now factoring in DVR numbers as they should. Networks always crow about one being able to watch their favorite program on their own schedule. Counting DVR viewings is important for the survival of a given series. So, the numbers for The Good Wife and The Mentalist should improve when factoring in live + 7 day viewings. Definitely a new series will not be put on a Sunday knowing what we know now about a crowded Sunday. As for Elementary possibly being moved to Sunday, that would be a stupid move by CBS. Then again, I thought that the potential move of The Good Wife to Sunday night was stupid so there you go.

Both those shows will always do low numbers because of the football games that take place during the afternoon which sometimes runs into overtime. There is never a set time for when these shows will begin. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who waits to watch The Good Wife On Demand the next day. This happens with any show that airs on Sunday. One has to prepare for this disruptive schedule. Oh and let me add Sunday Night Football on NBC into the mix. This is why so many complain when their favorite series gets moved to Sundays.
