I'm watching s3 of Elementary!
First of all, even though I knew this didn't happen bc it came out 10 years ago, I thought it was very funny how they set up episode 1 of season 3 like they had "House of Cards"d Sherlock, and the show was just about Joan now. And, honestly? I'd keep watching!
Secondly, I'm watching episode 5 now, and I had to STOP WATCHING and text someone to complain bc I'm so annoyed at this plot point!! And then also write this post!
Someone RIPPED a man's HAND OFF to get to a briefcase that he had handcuffed himself to? Sherlock is looking for a weight lifter as the culprit bc of how much force that would take, but? Wouldn't you just have to dislocate the thumb??? Maybe crush some of the metacarpals or something, but removing the entire hand?
How would you even hold the hand and arm to do that??? And how would the hand not be totally crushed or mangled afterward? The episode starts with someone finding the removed hand, and they don't mention there being any injuries, besides the obvious one, which separated it from its body. It just doesn't make any sense!!!

In other news, I like how Marcus seems to be becoming friendlier with Sherlock, it's cute. I'm... still on the fence about Kitty. I don't hate her or anything, but I also feel like she doesn't add a lot to the show for me, personally. (Though i feel bad saying it because i should be glad for another woman main character!)
I am absolutely NOT interested in whatever this plotline is about Captain Gregson and his daughter. Cops are violent, you say? Groundbreaking. Headline news. Anyway.
It's very silly, but a little endearing, when the show writers try to be on the cutting edge of technological topics like AI. Amusing to watch from my vantage point ten years in the future! I'm like, "evryone knows that's not how you talk to a digital assistant?" Though Sherlock WAS correct, and remains so, about "true" machine sentience being unachieved. Also in reality i think he would be a little more worried about the surveillance issue! Surveillance is one of his main interests!!
