I feel like I always start these reviews off by justifying my love ofElementary.

In fact, its almost impossible to talk about one without mentioning the other.

You know where to send the hate mail.

This weeks episode, The Red Team is definitelyElementarydoing what it does best.

There have been a couple of clunkers, recently.

Luckily, almost all of that is forgotten here.

The Red Team opens with the fallout from M still being dealt with.

There is one rather unwelcome holdover from those episodes, though.

Joan Watsons exposition therapist is still here.

And that, my friends, was a long-ass time ago.

Alright, Im being a jerk, as this was all of five minutes of the episode.

Interestingly, unlike many other episodes ofElementary, The Red Team doesnt open up with a gruesome murder.

Instead, we find that Holmes has a fondness for conspiracy theories.

Oh, wait, no he doesnt.

Hes far too smart for that malarkey.

The problem is, Sherlock is no longer a consultant with the NYPD.

Which leads us to the title of the episode, The Red Team.

Perhaps Sherlocks factually-challenged conspiracy nut friend stumbled on something legitimate that made him a target.

Considering the complicated plot, it felt particularly tightly edited.

Theres another one here, and its certainly interesting.

Best Sherlock is a dick Moment:Well, its obvious that that man isnt a mastermind of anything.
