Elementary: Super Bowl Sunday Episode "Our Show On Steroids"


You could accurately say Elementary's version of New York City is a great cesspool into which all the killers of the country are irresistibly drained. Someone's always being murdered. But Martin Ennis (Terry Kinney), the villain in the special episode that will air on CBS after the Super Bowl this Sunday is particularly nasty. For one, he escapes from prison during a medical procedure to give his ailing sister a kidney, just to go on a killing spree.

"He's probably one of the worst guys we've had on," says star Jonny Lee Miller, whose Sherlock Holmes will hunt Ennis throughout the City. "So the episode is kind of like our show with an injection — like our show on steroids."

Much to his chagrin, Sherlock and cohort Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) won't be chasing Ennis alone. They'll have unwanted help from an FBI profiler (Kari Matchett), who penned a book about the baddie — and has also written about Holmes. "She predicted some of his character flaws and his struggle with addiction," says Miller, "that really, really bugs him." Basically, he loathes her.

So expect a lot of bickering — and more blood — but don't get your hopes up about meeting the show's take on Sherlock's famous adversary Moriarty, who we now know was behind the murder of Holmes' one-and-only Irene Adler. He's showing up for an arc later in the season. As for who's playing him, we can only say this: When you've eliminated the impossible, whoever remains, however improbable, must be it.

Can't wait!

These posts must get that a lot.

It isn't impossible for a woman to play Moriarty after a female Watson so it's definitely going to be improbable.

Luther's ex wife for Moriarty! In a suit at all times!

Still pressed about Moriarty showing up this season ngl.
_dennis_csi_ 28th-Jan-2013 05:56 pm (UTC)
I was hoping for him to show up next season
beaucadeau 28th-Jan-2013 06:01 pm (UTC)

I think it's in case they're not picked up for another season so they're stuffing in as much SH canon as possible.

I've missed this show so much, I can't deal with the breaks between the episodes.
dacrayzblaze1 28th-Jan-2013 06:04 pm (UTC)
They are killing me faster than anything.
emptyobsidian 28th-Jan-2013 06:33 pm (UTC)
I was just starting to like it more and then it went on break :( I will get over it. I always love to see what they do with Moriarty.
zoaster_toaster 28th-Jan-2013 05:52 pm (UTC)

scootermcgaffin 28th-Jan-2013 05:54 pm (UTC)

I'm so disappointed about the Superbowl, our whole family isn't going to be watching this year and I love football. :-(

RIP Superbowl Party plans
_andrea 28th-Jan-2013 05:58 pm (UTC)
i shall not be watching.

instead, CTV will be airing a glorious new show 'Motive' after the Super Bowl.

I'm debating giving this show a second chance... I saw the first episode and was bored to tears, but I really do love Johnny Lee Miller.
_dennis_csi_ 28th-Jan-2013 06:04 pm (UTC)
it gets so much better when the show settles down a little bit and the last episode was really good
larastone 28th-Jan-2013 06:09 pm (UTC)
it gets a lot better lol, give it another try!
blessedbell 28th-Jan-2013 06:13 pm (UTC)
I was too bb. I HATED the pilot, was bored as hell, and had to push myself through the first episode (I was literally rolling my eyes at it.) I watched the second and it clicked; I fell in love, hard. Please try again bb, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Random but somewhat related, I'm a filmmaker that has been tempted by acting and so I've been spending the year getting acting training. As a result, I've been dying to make a movie so I'm teaming up with friends to make a fake Sherlock Holmes movie trailer with a gender bent cast (and a Sherlock of Filipino descent). I'm hoping it'll be a fun time and I'll probably put it on youtube.

More related, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS EPISODE OMG. The wait between episodes has been too long.

michelleantonia 29th-Jan-2013 11:00 am (UTC)
