It was funny when Sherlock asked the Captain if he was familiar with Eric Clapton. Even I've heard of him. Actually, in recent years he has sung an old song on what was my favorite radio station. As a guitar player he's not my taste.
I don't know which of those guys was Meat Loaf, but I happened to see his name in the credits and figured those must be celebrities.
When I saw the other murder, I wondered what connection Pete Townshend had to the case. Actually, I was horrified anyone would do that to a guitar worth that much.
I've already seen an episode summary in the local paper's TV listings that says Shinwell will be accused of murder.
I didn't want to suspect the college student of anything because you always hope those who are capable of doing so will get out of the 'hood.

Wow. Unlike last week, I was back to Sheldon's schedule. This morning, things were different, but that didn't affect last night. I watched as much of "Last Man on Earth" as I could, but I sure was glad I made sure to record those last few minutes.
I live three houses away from a storage place, but as far as I know there has never been any criminal activity connected with it. I saw another auction earlier in the day in a really depressing movie about what will happen if the American West ever has a shortage of water so bad that the government has to regulate everything.
Shimwell has never been violent on this show, so I was really surprised at what happened.
I couldn't believe that Arab being so honest about his activities.

It is a good thing Sherlock does not need much sleep because the case required a great deal of research in order to solve the crime.
Asmari was smiling and looking so congenial while he admitted the treasure and log book were on his yacht, I knew he was not guilty of the murder. He said his watch cost $1,000,000 and his shoes cost $20,000.
I think my expression was the same as the Captain’s when the word “Kashgar” was explained “like the city on the silk road”.
I am displeased with the way the men who enter Sherlock and Joan’s lives are treated. I remember it turned out Sherlock’s NA sponsor was demoted and now Shinwell acted like a thug and not only hit Sherlock, but he kicked him. I would prefer they ignore the character rather than ruin him. What’s the point?

That black man they interviewed had a great voice. He should be a DJ or voiceover artist. I was reminded of this by Dear Abby.

Now did all the shows go over by an hour last night?
I was relieved the show started on time, but the case didn't seem like one Sherlock would work. It was obvious from the start that it could be one Madam Secretary would get involved with. I didn't have time to watch anyway and I was relieved when I didn't have to take a risk with losing any more shows. Actually, it was already too late because I was a few minutes behind on "Match Game". But I had one more hour to go in a really good movie which wasn't a murder mystery as such but was like an episode of "Matlock", if Matlock had no morals.

The case started as a bizarre mystery, but the motives leading to the murders were quite commonplace – infidelity, vengeance, blackmail and money/career. Sherlock’s first theory regarding Chernobyl was interesting. I was amused by the way he described the conspiracy theorists and he obviously has no respect for them.
Sherlock seems to know almost as much as doctors regarding diseases. That probably came in handy before he had Joan as a partner.
As large as that house is, Sherlock chose to prank Joan by using her bedroom to test blood spatter. Joan looked cute peeping around the sheet to watch Sherlock.
I burst out laughing when the first item on the private investigator’s test was to list three suitable methods for determining the age of fecal deposits on a ….

I don't know why Sherlock would have been pranking Watson. Still, that was his way of annoying her in this episode. I thought the bench with her face on it would be, but she was responsible for that.
I'm not surprised Sherlock didn't respect the organization that let people become detectives without qualifications. I was pleased with what he ended up doing. The president agreed with him. He was also the head coach from "Pitch", which was interesting considering there were references to Major League Baseball.
I had a hard time watching the episode. On the station where I watched, Fred Kirby was a longtime children's host who showed The Little Rascals and taught good moral values, and he was a cowboy hero in movies and at Tweetsie Railroad.

I was beginning to think the whole episode was going to be about Bell. The TV listings I saw did suggest that would happen.
Sherlock's "prank" on Watson was one of the worst yet, making her think he had been shot. Later, he annoyed her by waking her up.
As you might expect, this episode reminded me a lot of an episode of The CW's "Penn & Teller".
I really didn't want the episode to end the way it did. When Bell went in Chantal's apartment I just knew he was going to find ...
I found it strange they thought the artist was using a mirror. That would make the illustrations confusing since they'd be backwards.

I anticipated you would guess what Bell would find when he entered Chantel's home. That was a tragedy. At first, I was disappointed it was going to be about another problem with the ex-husband, but it turned out to be pretty good. The poisoned bullet led Sherlock to the logical conclusion that another magician committed the murder. Then they learned about the victim's poker games where he focused on cheating one person. I think the reason he focused on cheating that man was to force him into a position where he would copy the records the magician needed. When the focus switched to the neo-Nazis, I thought they would scrap the idea that magic was involved. It was interesting that Sherlock was able to follow the trail to the perpetrator. Sherlock and Joan said the face cards were pointing in the opposite direction than they should have been, and that is why they came to the conclusion that the artist was looking in a mirror. That was a terrible prank Sherlock played on Joan. When the lady asked Joan if she wanted to take a shot, Joan asked if she had a bigger gun.  Sherlock looked very surprised when the lady kissed him and said she would be in touch when she returned from Rome. Maybe he is not accustomed to receiving affection. Maybe Joan should show him some affection once in a while. |

We all thought Chantal was supposed to be dead. After all, this show is a murder mystery. I was so relieved she wasn't.
I hated to hear how Bell was treated as a child.
I couldn't believe the ex even got that close to Chantal. But when the cop saw him, that was the end of it. And luckily that security guard was around at the right time.
When Bell put on gloves at the home of the suspect, I knew that wouldn't have ended well. But Sherlock made sure that didn't happen.
It was a fascinating mystery. We could have gone in so many different directions. We still don't know who did it, but it doesn't look good for the man we think it is.
I don't get how the man got urine from the lab that was supposed to test it. Does no one have morals?
Watson didn't get pranked this week or even waked up.

Even though Chantal's husband was not an honorable man, he should not have died because of the lawyer's greed. Chantal will probably be glad her ex did not assault her, but she will still suffer emotional distress after that brutal attack. Visitors should have had to sign in before arriving at that floor so the ex-husband should not have received a visitor's pass.
You are right, we do not know if the lawyer personally shot the ex-husband, but Sherlock described him as assaulting Shantal. He paid $1,000 for the urine, but he could afford it.
I was not expecting abuse to be what Sherlock realized about Bell. I noticed Sherlock's quirky mannerism while he discussed that with Bell. He knew it was a delicate subject and I think he was trying very hard to be sensitive.

It was nice that Bell talked to Chantal, and of course she's doing well in physical therapy. I should mention two members of my church are going through that at the same nursing home where I was four years ago, and I continue to visit that home. Sherlock showed concern for Chantal and that was nice. he reminds me of Walter O'Brien and Sheldon Cooper in that he's making an effort to show concern for others.
Lucy Liu directed. I wonder how you direct yourself?
That was quite a complicated and entertaining mystery.
I did not like how Shinwell's situation turned out. I liked how he thought he was going to be able to take down the gang.

Interesting. I don't even know if they figured out who killed Shinwell.
I want to know who that woman was who was at the meeting who Sherlock told to stay away. I suspected she was the one who sent the fake text and caused the cops to lose the evidence they could have had in that other murder.
Considering he lived in the projects, the supposed gang leader sure had a nice apartment.
This time it was Watson who woke up Sherlock. Okay, not really, but he came in to find her still working.

I really do not like the way they destroyed Shinwell's character by having him attack Sherlock and then his best friend killed him. It is ironic that his best friend was ordered to kill him in the same manner Shinwell was ordered to kill his best friend years ago. A similar situation took place on "Supernatural" during the past several weeks. That is a horrible test of loyalty.
When Sherlock came downstairs in his sleep attire, I noticed he has beautifully shaped legs.
Joan and the mastermind exchanged threats, and I think it was a bad idea for Joan to provoke him.

The mysterious woman was with Sherlock throughout the episode, but her presence was finally explained. There were clues during the episode that helped me to guess what the relationship was.
Joan pursued her goal to assure the leader of SBK would be convicted and go to jail. She went to dangerous lengths, and refused to give up. She was furious at Sherlock because he failed to help her. I understand her anger, but Sherlock was not really responsible for his absences.
Sherlock’s brilliant mind defines him, and it must be truly terrifying to realize his memory is failing him.

I didn't pick up on the clues. But then I'm not good at that anyway.
It would change this show completely if Sherlock didn't have his mind.
I went to a funeral yesterday (see the Gas Price thread) but a woman played the piano. There was no organ music. But I really liked hearing that organ music at Shinwell's funeral. It's not that my church is getting away from that kind of music, but the new organist (actually, she has been there at least a year and maybe two) often plays the piano, and some of the music is a little more contemporary than it used to be.
It worried me when those SBK members found out where Watson was but they got killed quickly.
I suspected the brother when I heard the sister was killed by a man with no tattoos who just didn't seem like a gang banger.
