This is the episode that changed the show for me. The new relationship between Watson and Holmes is above excellent, and I now know that it was the sober companionship that was keeping me from enjoying it.
I look forward to next week for the first time since I started the show.
The fact that Finch chose Reese could be not just random if he was feeling guilty over the computer and was trying to right his wrong. That is, if it was indeed Finch that sold the computer.
This episode also brought me back on board. TVD deserves 5 stars for the first time in a while.
The best thing thought was that they explained something that had been bothering me for a long time: why Klaus was so obsessed with the bloody hybrids. It was actually on my wish list for the second half of the season. And now we know he wasn't. What is, was, and will never stop being Klaus' obsession is remaining safe from anyone and anything. I was so tired of the hybrids. Completely useless.
Reese and Finch are not their real names. Reese got his name from Kara and many have mentioned the many names "Finch" has had. The Chinese man also said that they could find nothing associated to the name.
The episode was really good in my opinion. Gripping and etc. I couldn't believe it only got 3 stars! I had already seen the stars before watching it and I still enjoyed it so I have a very high opinion of it.
Someone was right to say Kara could be alive. I rewatched the ending and the time on the video jumps from 11:25 to 11:32 and then to 12:03. Nice catch BTW, didn't notice it myself.
2002 - Claire tells Joe she's pregnant
2003 - Claire meets Ryan
2004 - Joe's trial
After Joe's trial - The divorce and Ryan and Claire's "first kiss"
I don't see how Joey could be Ryan's son unless there was a miscarriage and a second pregnancy (though according to Claire Ryan and her were together for mere months) and Claire had the weird idea to name her son after her psychopathic ex-husband anyway. Personally I'm tired of whose son is it drama. Let Joey be Joe's son. It's better.
Loved what Claire said to Joe about loving Ryan, it was unlike anything I've seen. New and unexpected.
@BriAN I also thought it was strange but was only totally convinced with the strange text and the symbols, because I would have accepted the actor if he looked ok in formal clothes. :D
PS: Irene may or may not be dead based on the way Moriarty himself chose the victims would be killed. He also may or may not have intended to "kill" Irene all along. Assuming he thought about everything right from the start (being Moriarty and all).
PSS: I don't think Irene is with Moriarty right now (too blahh). So assuming she is free and about he probably threatened her with both their lives if she contacted Sherlock. If that's the case she could appear any moment believing "M." to have been captured.
Moriarty heard of Sherlock and all that he had achieved in the police. He saw it as an intellectual challenge. So, he hired Moran to play the role of serial killer, making sure he was very difficult to find, almost impossible. He gave him his victim so there wouldn't be a pattern.
Somewhere along the line (probably victim 20 or something) he started thinking there was not enough motivation so he decides to make it personal. He probably kills her himself on purpose. Then Sherlock starts falling off the wagon and is unable to think properly, ergo he still doesn't catch "M." When he makes his recovery in the US he follows (must be very bored) prepared to give S a second chance.
But he changes the game. He gives more targets to Moran but gets him caught, probably aware that Moran would give S his name: Moriarty.
Fav episode: "Till Death" because of everything @Nick1372 said and also because I loved Mark Pellegrino's performance.
My hopes for 2013: finding out who won on the game of chess between Elias and Finch in "Triggerman", more Root and more flashbacks. I love POI's flashbacks, they always give us insight on the characters and what makes them who they are.
Worst storyline: I like the idea of the sire bond although it's certainly not been handled intelligently. The worst storyline by far is the whole sire army for klaus. I mean WTF?? The guy consistently daggers his own family and he needs an army of idiots to be his BFF? That doesn't make sense. And if they were there (as it was originally presented) for protection well.. it was obvious it wouldn't work once they were only 14. And why the hell were they so weak?? I feel they were just presented so that then they would die in the whole Shane/Silas thing. Oh, and there's the 0 character development. I hope we never see them again, so we can have a storyline that actually makes sense.
The rest was fine, some even great. Hope it grows even better (and that they take more time to explain.. and think things through)
Hehe. Ok:
- Tyler's plan felt like an excuse for his personal issues on the man, but giving the hybrids time seemed sensitive. It's obvious he wouldn't have killed them, he needed persuasion and a date to give up one who had already betrayed him, but there are other things he could do. Just look at how Carol ended up. Look at Katherine's family. If the guy wants revenge he'll find a way to get it.
I totally, utterly loved this episode. I was really surprised by the review.
I understand what you mean by the sire thing and that Damon could just tell her to have free will and that'd be that. Relationship-wise that would be the most sensitive thing but that's not what Damon wants, and I think both Damon and Ian have successfully shown in this episode that it feels like cheating to Damon, even if someone says that it doesn't affect feelings. Because it somehow does, I believe. We did see it with Tyler, even if latter he hated Klaus in the beginning he was all Klausteam-like. I enjoyed Delena scenes, they felt real.
On the other hand:
- Hayley's story is interesting because of Shane. Shane is shady.
- I was pleasantly surprised that Klaus was in on shady-team's plans. Was not expecting that.
- Human and killer Klaus on the same episode. Yay!
- RIP Carol. No surprise there.

It was the twists that the episode lacked. And not much happened. I'm really happy that what I consider a pretty mediocre episode of POI was (by standard standards?) very good and had the whole Fusco thing going on...
I am not a shipper and I'm the type who just enjoys the story as it goes. Just FYI.
I noticed Joseph Morgan was credited yet Klaus didn't appear. That was a little disappointing but I only noticed once the episode had ended. And that's a good sign. Klaus not missed = me impressed with the episode. 5 star.
On the Elena... thing. (((I am strange (I know, no sweat) in my own way as I do not judge people by their actions but by their souls. I don't believe in evil; our past just shapes us.))) Damon may be very in the wrong most times but he means well, especially when it comes to Elena, and what shocked me (like most) is Elena's happiness. She was really undeniably happy. So I say scr*w the sire bond. He can be careful (...) and she can be happy. For now Delena all the way.
Caroline is justified and the etc of all previous comments..
I have the feeling Tyler is WAY over his head here and.. well.. something to do with tvfanatic's post for the promo...
@swan30 I thought she might die too. Or that she should've suffered some effect. I watch the show with my friend and I actually told her: "she'll die". But whatever. Magic is unpredictable. XP
@Ace I agree about the bean and the ashes. It's literally what I thought.
I love how Emma's magic was addressed throughout both seasons and now it's finally becoming really important (and that it didn't just happen out of the blue).
LOL at how Ruby was there but basically did NOTHING but fly through the air. That girl needs a storyline asap.
Same here. Although I never really rejected the idea it did seem weird and totally out of the blue. Turns out it had already been mentioned back in season 3. And if you think about it, it makes sense if siring mostly occurred when the newvamp was in love (or had feelings at least) with the oldvamp. If they do it right it could become worthwhile. And though I'm not a shipper of any kind (okay, maybe klaroline) I think Delena will get it's scene when the time is right.
PS: The time was NOT right. Actually the timing was bordering heartless. Really? They'd JUST broken up!
This may be totally stupid, but I think that one explanation for the "plothole" would be that hook's hook was enchanted to steal hearts. It would be really ironic.
