"Elementary", New CBS Show.

When I used to watch Elementary OTA or later on cable the sound was always atrocious. Especially the volume difference between the show and the commercials. Since cord-cutting I cast episodes from CBS.Com and all that has gone away. I don't know about low-frequency distortion since I don't have sub-woofers, but over the TV speakers the sound is fine and the commercials don't blast.

 

Looks like they are going back to Holmes newest Nemesis, so the show may regain "Focus"

 

I caught a number of episodes this year (OTA via Directv) and the sound quality was much better except for the episode that aired on 8/20/2018. For some reason, there were several scenes in this episode where I couldn't understand a word of dialogue from both Joan and Sherlock (it felt like it was several years ago). I have a feeling the local CBS affiliate was at fault.

 

Not really. I'm glad next week is the season finale. Weak season.

 

What ever happened to the story line about Moriarty returning and coming after Holmes' father who had assumed leadership of her organization?

 

That may come up next week as police look for suspects.

 

yep, and for the carry over to next year.

 

Quite an interesting and unexpected ending to the season!

 

totally agree.

very very well done.

already looking forward to next season, lots of different possibilities and the probable end for a couple of big cast members.

 

Yes, and I hope the new season takes off from there. (Don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet.) Overall, I think this was the strongest episode of the season.

 

Even though it's been renewed for another season, last night's episode felt more like a series finale rather than a season finale.

 

Agreed, would have been perfect for a series finale. Perhaps it was planned before they knew of a renewal.

 

It was originally supposed to be a series finale but writers then found out it would be renewed. Excellent season overall.

 

I did not see that coming!

Pleasantly surprised, after my going through varying states of interest this past season.
As stated, the season finale could have worked perfectly for a series finale. Now it can serve as a fresh start, to which I am looking forward.

 

and i'll say it again:

johnny lee miller should be nominated for an emmy.

 

I had the last three episodes on PVR and watched them last night. Thanks for not spoiling it. Season finale was indeed best I've seen this season.

I thought it could have been a series finale but am looking forward to next season.

 

I thought so too, but again without spoilers, a fresh start might be just what it needs. (Not that it ever suffered in my opinion!)

 

Mixed feelings about the season finale since it's coming back.

 

IMO...the worst season ever. All over the place, little continuity...just a mess.

 

I think part of the reason this year was "all over the place" was because everyone from producers, writers, and actors were under the impression that this was the last year for the show, and they wanted to resolve, or at least cover the bases, in terms of some sort of resolution for the various characters that were introduced over the years (Joan, Morland, Mycroft, Moriarty, Gregson, Marcus, etc.). The addition of another season was totally unexpected.

 

Just caught up on the last three episodes..oh man what a finale..and using my favorite band’s song in the process!

 

I wonder if they've written themselves in to a corner a bit.

Spoiler

With the show now set in London (as there's seemingly no way Sherlock can return to the US), will the show now be filmed there? It's not like New York is an easy stand-in for London. Likewise, I'd expect they'd need almost all actors to now speak with a UK accent.

 

I just caught up this week and watched the last three episodes this evening. Apparently they had already filmed the ending when they found out they had an order for 7 more episodes.

Here's a recent interview with Rob Doherty, the show runner: Elementary Boss Talks Finale's Big Move, Previews Season 7 Time Jump

He mentions they start season 7 in their new location but says there could be something the pulls them back to NYC. I also saw an article online that had a picture of Lui and Miller on set in NYC and she had her hair dyed blond, which I don't remember her having in Season 6. Could be something for Season 7. Picture was dated July 2018.

There was also an interview with Jon Michael Hill, who plays Marcus, and his comments regarding Season 7 made it sound like he was definitely coming back.

Looking forward to Season 7!

 

Interesting. Wondering if those forthcoming 7 episodes are the last, or will there be more.
