Right up to his dramatic disclosure only Holmes had all the clues. <br /><br />Yep, this isn't an english-feeling Holmes, but they transplanted him to 21st century New York presumably to attract an American audience. But they lost this American. Half-way through my summation was "Huh. 'Monk' ". <br /><br />But I did like the allusion to bee-keeping.Cory Hinmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072825196654227489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315662640468934791.post-69772069284162391872012-09-28T20:49:20.586-07:002012-09-28T20:49:20.586-07:00I recorded it, but haven't seen it yet.

It's not really a skill you want to show off.<br /><br />And his ambivalence towards sex, yet preference for kinky encounters? I don't buy it.M. D.

I don't consider being able to predict hack soap opera dialogue as a show of deductive reasoning.<br />Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.com
