selenakCourtesy of davetheanalyzer: Big Finish will continue the all too brief Class, aka the Doctor Who spin-off that only got one season. And as a guest star: Ace! More here; this makes me very happy indeed.
Elementary 6.05: I have to admit that I'm really into scenes where Gregson lays down the law on Sherlock. One reason being that he doesn't do it often, but each time he does, it's justified, the show lets him make good points instead of strawman arguments, and Sherlock takes it instead of being flippant and dismissive.
This said, since the episode doesn't ultimately use the initial "Sherlock can't remember the last six hours" for something angst inducing within the episode itself (as opposed to providing the occasion where Sherlock has to come clean to Gregson about his state of health) I do wonder whether there'll be some additional pay off later.
The Midnight Ranger musical is a riff on the rl Spider-man on Broadway disaster, right? And also continuity with the Paul Cornell episode featuring superhero comics popular in the Elementary verse?
Michael, real or hallucination: on the one hand, we get another scene where Sherlock isn't present and which would be cheating were Michael not real. Otoh, said scene immediately segues into Sherlock waking up from a dream. On the one hand, Joan is present when Michael rings at the door and hears the doorbell. On the other, Joan then disappears before Michael enters and thus still hasn't seen him. If Michael is real, I can only conclude that the show goes out of its way to keep Joan from meeting him because either she knows him already in another identity, or she will meet him in another capacity that might be plot relevant.
