Junip - Line of Fire / Elementary





I've been watching the Elementary binge on WGN America. Thanks DVR!

It's a compelling show. On a personal note I share many of Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock's stringent and unconventional views on a variety of subjects. Corporations, banks and bankers are loathsome. Love is a scam. Marriage has outlived its purpose.

But my personality is more like Lucy Liu's Joan Watson. She's very smart too but more quiet and polite than Sherlock. Less alpha dog and yet drawn to Holmes's brilliance and eager to learn from him. She seems conventional but as Sherlock points out to her regularly, she's not really. Anyway I find their partnership entertaining TV.

In episode 19 of season 2, a doctor who taught Watson plays one of my favorite Clash tunes Rudie Can't Fail.
