You can watch full episodes commercial free on the CBS website. I’ve watched most of Elementary from there as I’m rarely home during prime time and don’t have a DVR. ---

> [@Achren](#): > > That last episode (of Jekyll). I went from loving the show to thinking it was just alright. Someone needs to stand over Moffat and thwack him with a newspaper when he gets all in love with his cleverness. (And I still like Jekyll and Sherlock and most of Doctor Who…actually, having seen so much of his current work might be adding to my issues with him 🙂 ) I hope this doesn’t turn into a hijack, but whatever happened with Jekyll? That seemed so promising from what I remember although I’m not sure i saw all of the episodes. ---

Here’s something possibly interesting: so far there’s been no mention of Mycroft. ---

> [@WordMan](#): > > That would be Sherlock’s _sister_ - Mycrofta. I kind of hope not, just because turning _everybody_ but Sherlock into women is going to get a bit old (well, I guess Gregson’s still a man, but still…) If they do introduce Mycroft, though, next season will be the best time to do it IMO since I read that the season will start out in London. If they _do_ end up having a female Mycroft, I do hope they stick with canon enough to hire a larger woman to play her. One of Mycroft’s defining characteristics was his corpulence due to being practically immobile. ---

Thanks, SeaDragonTattoo, but “the video you requested is not available for your viewing area.” It’s ok though, I just found it on [btvguide.com](http://btvguide.com) ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Bam. You two are regular Sherlocks yourselves. > > Sometimes Jonny Lee Miller’s tics and expressions remind me of another actor. It’s tickling the back of my mind, but I haven’t figured it out yet, though I suspect he’s also British and it’s a deliberate emulation. I’ll leap off my couch one day when I finally get it, I’m sure. i watched the entire season from thursday to sunday. thursday after watching 4 episodes, it was really bugging me. finally on friday i reversed and listened to a few minutes of mr miller with my eyes closed, just concentrating on the cadence, his rhythym was really pinging, i know i had heard it before. then, wham, it hit me, the cadence is similar to russell brand. mr brand has a louder higher voice, but the rhythym is really close, also some of the body movements and intensity are there as well. i rather like “binge watching” an entire season (or series) in one go is really great. ---

I guess this is more season two info, but [Rhys Ifans is to play Mycroft in a multi-episode arc.](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/elementary-rhys-ifans-is-sherlocks-575789) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/elementary-new-cbs-sherlock-series-season-1-thread/625762.md?page=15)
