shallownessI hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday. Mine was too busy to post and to watch more than snippets of TV - but this is what I watched on Christmas Eve.
Sherlock – series 3 mini episode Many Happy Returns (I saw this on the BBC's website, must double check if it's the thing Digital Spy said would be on the Red Button between Christmas day and the new year.)
Aww, John. His reaction at the ‘okay’!
Nice little teaser, with Anderson going all bearded and conspiracy theorist – and right about it, because of course Sherlock couldn’t but meddle. My favourite scene was the jury, with the return of the graphics. The Lestrade-John stuff was genuinely touching, although this suggests Lestrade hasn’t been spending time with Molly, which is a shame.
Overall, it was a bit slight, because the audience knows he’s not dead, but it wasn't meant to be more than an entertaining taster.
Person of Interest 2.9 C.O.D.
All in the modern day and yet another former Soviet bloc country’s mafia is about town.
A bit too much exposition about taxi drivers, but a nice cold reading of Finch from the NoTW, and Reese on a motorbike.
I liked the Machine’s visual of HR, and, of course, they called on poor Lionel to join the campaign to get back in with Elias. I say ‘poor Lionel’ – he did try to get out of the deep hole he’s in and I usually get frustrated with John for not helping him. What have you done to me, Lionel Fuscoe?
Typical Harold having no sense of boundaries when it came to Carter. Of course, she can give as good as she gets.
Lots of familiar faces guesting, both as the new guest stars and returning characters. Weird to see Betty’s Papi be a threatening people smuggler.
But nice use of the potential of a character who’s a cabble, whose life can touch that of so many other New Yorkers. And he wasn’t entirely sympathetic – I mean, he’d also obviously got in too deep with Mendoza and the hacker’s laptop, and although we were told that he was living in a surveillance state, he left his family for a lifestyle.
I wonder if anyone keeps the running costs of how much saving each NoTW costs Finch that we know about. $100,000 here...
BEAR! I don’t care that Reese got to the pool house ridiculously quickly, in that he saved Bear and allowed him to save Finch. A really good run of episodes from the second season of POI so far.
