Elementary is a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes, starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, a female version of Holmes' companion. Here, Holmes is a former consultant to Scotland Yard and a recovering drug addict. He travels to New York City to check into a rehabilitation center and then lives with Watson, who becomes his sober companion and eventually his apprentice.
Don't talk during these. I will rewind if I miss a sentence. I will rewind if I miss a word. I will do this several times, if necessary, to make sure I hear and understand everything that happens. I DON"T CARE IF IT WASN'T IMPORTANT! I will pause the show and stare at you until you realize the rules. If you continue to talk during my stories I will cut you. If you anticipated this reaction and have taken all the knives away and all I have is a spoon, I will bend the spoon until it is sharp enough to stab you, and then I will stab you with it. Once you realize these are the rules we will be able to proceed with the watching of the show. Or I'll just watch it by myself. Snacking is encouraged.
