It's Elementary

I'm loving the soundtrack that played at the end of Season 7, Episode 2 - '99' by Elliot Moss. Elliot Moss - 99 (Official Music Video) There is just something about Sherlock, Joan and Marcus' friendship/kinship that is so sublime. It's the same vibe I get from the SPN cast. It's the mutual trust and respect, the shared understanding that you would sacrifice your own good for the benefit of another, that you would have each other's backs no matter what.

Now I think that if I were to use drugs again it would in fact be an anticlimax, the impious surrender to the incessant ‘drip, drip, drip’ of existence. I will be fine. It’s just a temporary malaise." - Sherlock Holmes

Plenty of character development for the main three (Sherlock, Watson and Bell) The introduction of Sherlock's protege (i.e. the potential rivalry) Subtle jokes that usually slip right under the radar Joan Watson's timeless wardrobe Simple but effective soundtrack Rich backdrops/crime scenes Misses The types of crime are becoming either more boring or more unbelievable, some of them r...
