I got the distinct impression that the woman in the beginning of Elementary wasn't an anonymous hook up so much as a pro domme. And, given other references to D/s in the pilot, that it was something in the domination/discipline area that he needed to get out of his head, more than sex, per se, which struck me as far more interesting than simple rocks-getoffing.
Whether they'll continue that thread in an interesting, BDSM-positive manner or use it for cheap thrills remains to be seen, but for my money, a Holmes who canonically uses D/s to get out of his head is a far more interesting prospect to me than one who simply needs to get off to do the same.
Hm, interesting - I hadn't thought of it that way, though he does say that he occasionally needs sex specifically, doesn't he? Anyway, you're right, it'll be cool if they do decide to go that route.
BC sounds like a dick. I mean, add that to what he said about Downton Abbey Series 2...I mean, it was a ridic season but did he have to say that. Hey, The Blind Banker wasn't that great (and IMO, a little racist) but no one from any other show was saying it sucked balls.
I want to watch Elementary so much. I'm not really that into BBC Sherlock -- though I adore their version of Moriarty -- so I don't have the baggage to obsessively bring that up and compare.
p.s. Matt Lewis, I so approve of the "No more fatsuits and false teeth" phase of your career. =)
p.p.s. That's Rory on the far right, right? Next to Neville.
