I think it's interesting how a theme with this Watson seems to be how she focuses on the superficial. I mean, that's pretty much a theme with all Watsons, but it was more there last episode. The sponsor Joan picked up was very...nice, but not very real. Alfredo was real.

That menu deduction was good on Watson, and that last scene was adorable, but that product placement was horrible.

[up] It usually is.

I pretty much stopped watching Eureka and never cared enough to start watching again later over the matter.

Product Placement is an valuable source of revenue needed for TV producers to continually provided you top quality entertainment on a weekly basis.

besides if you were Sherlock Holmes and wanted to use a tablet computer wouldn't you use a stylish and functional Microsoft surface over one of it's lesser competitors?[tongue

...Maybe that's the point. The creators aren't actually fans of the Surface, but they need the money from Microsoft, so they were trying to make it look like product placement while giving people a mental link between the shitter and the Surface.

Dunno, so far Channel Ten hasn't announced an air date, but I'm guessing sometime in the beginning of January.

Here's the teaser trailer,

I think that it is a bad sign for television, that I was surprised that Watson's mother was not an Education Mama.

It was implied that Joan's mother didn't approve of her. But she did throw away a prestigious career to take up a job she apparently doesn't even like, so if she was my daughter I would feel the same. Surprisingly evenhanded seeing how everyone has parental issues on TV.

The dna twist was cool, but why exactly does the NYPD have a random Army chaplain's dna on file?

Well tonight was pretty disappoing seeing the two week break. Hotel concierge is found dead, evidence points to a prostitution black mail ring, then in a Shocking Swerve we find out her and her entire family are Russian spies.

Words fail me.

Yeah, that episode was a little too spy fiction-y for me.

That preview had a stylized M in it.

For a couple of minutes there in the middle, I was thinking that the murder victim had been running an entirely solo intelligence op - Blackmailing high officials into doing something about landmines. Which would have been very original, at least. Oh, well, the plot as written did not suck.

That would make for a much better episode.

The absurdity of it the spy elements aside Joe DuBois has no motivation for killing the mother. She was still a loyal assent. Why not just say she fell and call 911?

I kind of lost interest somewhere around ep 3 or 4...is it worth to pick it up again?

Well... The writing does seem to pick up around episode four, especially regarding Homes and Watson relationship. It's not Sherlock but it's pretty good TV.
