Elementary

Found a new source of fuel for my Sherlock obsession. Elementary, the TV series. While die hard fans may find it strange to see Lucy Liu as Joan Watson (as opposed to John Watson, perhaps more famously portrayed by Jude Law), I think it is a somewhat refreshing introduction to ordinarily sausage-filled Holmesian adventures.


And here is one of my favorite quotes from the series: 
It has its costs... Learning to see the puzzle in everything. They're everywhere. Once you start looking, it is impossible to stop. It just so happens that people, in all the deceits and delusions that inform everything they do, tend to be the most fascinating puzzles of all. Of course, they don't always appreciate being seen as such.
