I wonder how big John's bedroom actually is....and what takes up the rest of the floor space.

I'm only interested in the size of his... bed

Sorry to disagree. I work in one of the largest defence companies worldwide and security is so strict that you cannot plug any device (eg USB) neither extract information from the system without firing alarms. And these are security measures in a corporation. It is not realistic MI6 cannot replicate these basic protocols, specially with that sort of information. Ridiculous.

From what you wrote I deduce you work for a private company. Sadly private companies usually are much more efficient/careful that many governmental services. It is possible for governmental employees to walk out carrying secret or sensitive information. I don't doubt that where you work there are many security measures in place but it's not the case everywhere, the WikiLeaks affair being a proof of that. 

Maybe Andrew West just put the info in the USB key to hand it to his boss (or maybe he received from his boss) and then he put the USB key in his shirt pocket and forgot about it until he was in the bar. It's improbable but not impossible. 

And at the end Sherlock is a piece of fiction whose main objective is entertaining the audience. We are supposed accept everything that happens as true (it's true in that verse) and enjoy. Of course we can have fun pointing the mistakes or the inconsistency but no TV show is meant to be a 100% reflection of reality.

Yeah, I also noticed that the victims took 2 pills in a vial, and that when he "plays" with Sherlock it's only one pill. Maybe there is no game, maybe he just forces them to take it at gunpoint. Kind of dull but there you go...

I noticed the same thing too... I think he plays a different game with Sherlock or they just made a mistake while filming the beggining scenes.

I screencapped (is that a word?) the pills and in all cases I see 3 pills in the vial. Only the first man is showed putting the pill in his mouth (only one), but I assume it's the same in all the cases. Anyway, it looks like the cabbie cheated or changed his game for Sherlock... or they made a mistake filming the scenes.

Hello!

I finished watching the first season of Elementary last week because it airs a couple months behind in South America and I didn't care enough to dowload it. I liked it overall. I think the second half of the season was better (meaning more fun) than the first half but the last two episodes ("The Woman" and "Heroine") were CRAP. I hated the way they used the whole Irene/Moriarty story. Terrible.

I think that the main problem in Elementary is the awful writing. It's unfair to compare a 3-episodes-every-2-years series with one that has to deliver 24 episodes a year but Elementary's stories are bad even compared with other procedural shows like Criminal Minds or The Mentalist. I can solve most of the cases so I can't imagine why it takes Sherlock so long to figure out who is the killer/criminal.

Also, for me, the Sherlock Holmes in Elementary is not "the" Sherlock Holmes. I mean, he might be a character inspired in Sherlock Holmes but he certainly isn't ACD's Holmes. Not even an updated version. I don't know if it's the right word but I think JLM's Sherlock is too likable to be the "real" Sherlock Holmes. Besides BC's incarnation I think the closest modern day version of Holmes I can think of is House MD's Gregory House. You may like him on TV but you wouldn't live with him. Not in a million years. 

Despite everything said before, I do like JLM's character (even if he isn't the "real" Sherlock Holmes) and Lucy Liu's Watson. Thumbs up to the show runners for not writing a romantic interest between them. I totally believe their relationship to be purely platonic. Some people think that there is no chemistry between JLM and LL but I disagree. I think there is a lot of chemistry between them (in fact that chemestry is what makes the show watchable) but there isn't sexual tension. 

What I find quite interesting is that loads of Sherlock fans would love to see Sherlock and John romantically involved while e
