it's a magical world

Seriously, guys, Elementary is fast becoming my favorite TV show on the air. The cases themselves aren't terribly inspired -- I do wish they'd draw more from ACD in that respect -- but the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, oh my goodness, this show is all about the characters. These aren't ACD's Holmes and Watson, but they are very recognizable reincarnations, and oh god, I love their faces so much. While I love complex plots, I'm a character girl at heart, and the way these people (including Gregson and Bell) visibly grow and change from one episode to the next, and the shifting dynamic of their relationships, is just golden.
