Well, we all knew it was gonna happen eventually!
Elementary finally tackles the issue of Sherlock’s most famous foe.
Spoilers ahoy in this one, so read with caution!
Almost without exception, week in and week out, its been extraordinarily good.
They keep making em, Ill probably keep tuning in.
Its simple, really.
Its spoiler time, folks.
In a sense, weve already seen a number of minor Sherlock Holmes characters pop in and out.
Which brings me to M.
M. is, of course, a misleading title.
A serial killer played by Vinnie Jones, no less.
Yes, THAT Vinnie Jones.
Why, it was the death of Irene Adler, of course!
Right away, that should set alarm bells ringing.
And (to nobodys surprise) HOW did the lovely Ms. Adler end up underground?
At the hands of the mysterious M, of course.
This is surely a new twist.
But a problematic one.
Because, Im pretty sure it does.
So why did Joan mope around like a lovesick school girl for half of her screen time?
This isnt the Joan Watson Ive come to know since September.
Just remember,Elementarywriters, what happened toMoonlightingwhen they took THAT relationship to the next level.
Are you still reading this, my little spoiler bloodhounds?
Of course Vinnie Jones M isnt Moriarty at all.
Hes Sebastian Moran, another character from the Conan Doyle canon.
He does, however, WORK for Moriarty as a hired killer.
Im fine with that.
Leave em wanting more and all that.
Then again,Elementaryhas thrived on subverting audience expectations.
I should probably trust them.
