Their Last Bow

What a great ending for a truly special series.

I was lucky enough to be able to binge watch every season. That is the only upside to being late to the party where Elementary is concerned.

The final episode was full of mystery and I was never quite sure which way the writers were going to go. I felt happy, then sad, then thankfully I felt happy again as the credits rolled.

Bringing Sherlock Holmes into present day NYC was a great idea. Adding Lucy Liu as Watson seemed a gamble to me but it paid off brilliantly. Every regular cast member was very likeable. Seeing the friendships formed between them all was heartwarming.

Congratulations on a super series. I do hope there may be some specials in the near future.

I've got to finish by saying how brilliant I thought JLM was as Sherlock. He really made the character his own.

I bounced back and forth throughout this final ep between liking it and not liking it. Many (I'll have to watch it again to decide if all) plots were closed off. Generally it followed a plausible plot line with one exception that I won't give away. I wasn't sure at first whether the time skip would work, but it did mostly. It did leave open lines to do future movie specials, which I doubt was a factor as I assume the cast will be going different ways, but other shows (like the Pretender) came back with movie specials. Lastly, there were some holes as to what happened in the new plot line, but again I'll say maybe that's because I need to watch it again. I'll miss the show.

It may be a fast paced ending but it was wonderful. From laughing to tears and back. The scene where watson says "I am pretty sure you gonna live forever..." and Sherlock breaks the Fourth Wall... incredible. My all time favorite series.

I was amazed by the final episode of Elementary. It far surpassed what I had expected. The line "as long as we are together..." will carry me through not having my weekly experience of these characters.

Of course Watson's son had to be named Arthur! It is only fitting.

The love affair that was never fully explored in the series between Watson and Holmes is one of the best since Pride and Prejudice was written. It doesn't take steamy love scenes to demonstrate what they had, and continue to have. It showed what true human bonding can be about, what can truly happen when two like souls find each other.

My hat is off to all who finished this project in such a fine manner. You did the series proud!

....this series is over. I watched the first episode a year ago, mostly on a lark. I thought, well, pretty cheesy but not horrible...before I knew it, I was on the second season. Then I got caught up and had to actually WAIT for episodes. I put off watching the series finale because I didn't want it to be over. The finale was quite good, and I did cry...and they got me repeatedly with the plot turns.
