Did you like the 2x01 Elementary ep? I love that it's back, and I love Mycroft, but I didn't really get into it. I couldn't get excited about it or invested in the ep :(
I think not having the usual crew really hurt the episode. When shows come back, I want them to feel like the same show! This episode felt like it should have been 2x04 or 2x09, something less consequential than the season opener coming off a hot finale.
And I actually didn’t love Mycroft, if only because I think the Elementary writers have generally been better at/more interesting in how they play with ACD canon than BBClock, but BBClock’s Mycroft is more on-point. Plus I just kept seeing him as Dr. Kurt Conners/Gavin Kavanagh, which were already two roles I had a hard time reconciling in the same face, haha.
