Elementary has been such a pleasant surprise this year, in that I was expecting pretty much a horror show. What a relief!
I do not understand why the Arrow creative team keep trying to write for another character - their character is actually more interesting and fun! So why this constant melodramatic crap that only drags the show down? That said, I haven't 'shipped a couple like I 'ship Felicity/Oliver in a looong time, so I'm probably in it for the long haul. Unless they do something stupid like kill her off.
I really dislike the Barry/Iris thing, mostly because of the insistence on keeping Iris in the dark regarding his secret identity. That is one factor that adds to the annoyance for me, but the absolute worst part is how she sees him as a brother and they grew up together. I do not understand this creative team that puts obstacles in the path of their intended pairing that don't need to be there. It's not part of comics canon that Oliver slept with Dinah's sister (at least from my understanding of the comics, I don't actually read them) or that Iris and Barry lived in the same house growing up and that she regards him as a brother. They're so bad at writing romance that you'd think they'd stop inventing backstories that make the fans go ewwww if only to make their job simpler.
I don't know what it is about sitcoms lately, the ones I like are cancelled and the ones I can't stand go on infinitely. Apparently I do not have my finger on the pulse of America's comedy preferences.
